Outdoor Faucet Leaking? Here’s What to Do
April 12, 2025
How to Handle Leaks and Prevent Damage to Your Outdoor Plumbing
As the weather warms up, outdoor faucets get a workout—watering the lawn, washing the car, or filling the kiddie pool. But if you notice dripping or leaking, it’s not just an annoyance—it could be a sign of a bigger issue.
Common Causes of Outdoor Faucet Leaks:
- Worn-out washers or seals
- Cracks from freezing temperatures
- Loose or damaged connections
Why It Matters:
A leaky outdoor faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water over the season and lead to higher utility bills or foundation damage.
What You Can Do:
Turn off the water supply and inspect the faucet. If it’s a simple washer replacement, you might be able to DIY. But if the leak persists—or you suspect winter damage—it’s time to call Boyer Plumbing. We install and repair frost-proof outdoor faucets that stand up to Kansas weather.
