About this service
A practical solution starts with the condition that can be verified.
Outdoor faucets can leak at the handle, stem, vacuum breaker, wall connection, or concealed branch. They can also loosen from the structure, freeze, split, or provide poor flow. NexDrain checks the visible fixture, mounting, accessible shutoff, interior connection, and surrounding wall or masonry.
The repair may involve packing or internal parts, a vacuum breaker, a new hose bib, a frost-resistant assembly where appropriate, branch repair, or improved support and access.

What guides the recommendation
Three questions shape the next step.
Access, condition, safety, compatibility, and long-term value are considered before the scope is approved.
Access and mounting
Interior access, wall thickness, masonry, siding, insulation, and available shutoff affect replacement.
Protection and use
Freeze exposure, hose attachments, backflow protection, irrigation use, and fixture support influence product selection.

How NexDrain approaches the work
A clear process from the first conversation through final testing.
The details change by system and property, but the decision process remains straightforward.
Inspect inside and outside
Check the fixture, mounting, wall penetration, branch, and shutoff where accessible.
Identify freeze or connection damage
Determine whether the leak is at the valve or behind the finished surface.
Repair or replace
Complete the approved valve, branch, support, or protection work.
Test under flow
Open and close the fixture while inspecting interior and exterior connections.
Hose Bib Repair & Installation questions
Clear answers before choosing the next step.
Why does my outdoor faucet leak only when it is on?
A crack or loose connection behind the wall can leak under flow even when the valve shuts off normally. Interior inspection may be needed.
What is a frost-free hose bib?
It places the shutoff point farther inside the protected structure. It still needs correct slope, installation, insulation, and removal of attached hoses before freezing weather.
Why is there a cap on the top of the faucet?
It may be a vacuum breaker or anti-siphon device intended to reduce backflow risk. Damaged components can leak or spray.
Can a new hose connection be added?
Yes, if an appropriate cold-water branch, route, shutoff, exterior location, support, and code-compliant protection are available.
