About This Service
Need spigot repair in Wimberley TX? Leaking hose bib, freeze damage, or a spigot past its prime. JD and his crew will repair or replace it. We use outdoor faucets built for the Texas climate.
Outdoor faucets take a beating from sun, use, and the occasional hard freeze. A leaking or broken spigot wastes water and can let moisture where you don't want it, so it's worth handling before it gets worse.
“We've had 3 plumbers come out to help fix an issue with our kitchen sink and no one has been able to figure it out. Wimberley Plumbing came out and immediately knew what was going on and had it fixed in an hour! Super professional and efficient, highly recommend.”

Freeze Damage
The one that catches people out. Water left in the spigot or the short run of pipe behind it expands when it freezes and splits the pipe inside the wall. You often do not find out during the cold snap. You find out on the first warm day, when you turn the hose on and water pours into the wall instead.
Worn Washers and Slow Drips
The simpler failure. A worn washer or packing nut on a standard hose bib gives you the slow drip that has been going for months and the wet patch on the foundation that never quite dries. Cheap to fix, and worth fixing, because water running down a foundation year round is not a problem you want to let mature.
Vacuum breakers are the other part that fails on outdoor faucets, usually by spraying from the top of the spigot when the hose is running. That is a small replacement, not a new spigot.
Frost Proof Spigots
The valve that shuts the water off sits back inside the heated wall rather than out in the weather. Close it and the exposed section drains itself, so there is nothing left to freeze. Costs a bit more than a standard hose bib and saves you the annual worry.
Before the Next Freeze
Disconnect the hose. That matters more than the cover, and a hose left attached stops even a frost proof spigot from draining, which defeats the design. Shut off the supply to the line if you have a valve for it, and insulate what is exposed.
If a hard freeze is on the way and you are not sure what you have, call before it hits rather than after. The repair is a lot smaller than the wall.
