Check where the water is escaping
An outdoor faucet can leak from its spout, handle area, hose connection, or piping behind the wall. Explain whether it leaks only when opened or continuously. If water is visible indoors when the faucet runs, mention that at the start of the call. The location and access to the supply piping affect the repair plan.
Replacement must fit the wall and supply
Outdoor faucets vary in design and connection length. The correct replacement depends on the existing setup and wall assembly, not just the appearance of the handle. Ask whether the work includes access to the interior connection and any required backflow protection. Freeze-related damage may extend beyond the visible faucet.
When an assessment may help
- The outdoor tap drips when closed
- Water appears behind the wall during use
- A hose connection or handle is damaged
Prepare for the conversation
Provide photos inside and outside the wall if accessible. Note whether an interior shutoff is present and when the problem first appeared.
