Hose Bibs Durham, North Carolina

Hose Bib Repair, Replacement, and Installation

A hose bib, also known as a spigot or faucet, is a valve that is used to control the flow of water from a plumbing system. It is typically located on the exterior of a building, and is used to connect a garden hose or other hose-based appliance.

Hose bibs are typically made of brass or another durable material, and have a handle or lever that can be turned to open or close the valve and control the flow of water. Some hose bibs may also have a built-in backflow preventer to prevent contaminated water from entering the plumbing system.

Hose bibs are an important part of many plumbing systems, and are commonly used for watering gardens, washing cars, and other outdoor tasks.

What Are Common Problems With Hose Bibs?

Some common problems with hose bibs include leaks, difficulty turning the handle or lever, and corrosion or other damage to the valve. Leaks can occur if the hose bib is not properly installed or if the seal around the valve becomes worn or damaged. Difficulty turning the handle or lever may be caused by a build-up of debris or corrosion inside the valve, or by a malfunctioning mechanism.

Corrosion or other damage can occur over time due to exposure to the elements, which can cause the valve to become stuck or inoperable. If you are experiencing problems with your hose bib, it is important to have it inspected and repaired by a qualified plumber like Flush Away Plumbing Company.
