Leaks are the most common problem. Over time, leaks are going to happen to outdoor spigots. From the extreme weather swings to years of use, materials break down. That slow drip can become costly over time as each month it adds to your water bill. It may see like it’s not much, but that slow drip can add up to hundreds or even thousands of gallons of water. The slow drip of water and accumulation of minerals can also cause your patio or driveway to stain. Small leaks can also eventually turn into big ones potentially causing water damage to your property.
While most homes already have outdoor spigots, they are not always in the most convenient area. There are many reasons to want to add a new outdoor faucet and while a property owner can often get away with using a longer hose to reach the garage, driveway, garden, porch, or stairs it’s also very convenient to have the water right where you need it.
