Leaking, broken, or frost-damaged hose bibb? 5 Corners Plumbing repairs and replaces outdoor faucets for Kirkland-area homeowners. We inspect the problem, explain whether repair is possible, and provide a clear estimate before work begins.
5 Corners Plumbing is licensed, bonded, and insured for all residential plumbing work in King and Snohomish counties. We’ve replaced hundreds of hose bibbs across greater Seattle, always using reliable parts and clean workmanship.
A garden hose left attached over winter can trap water inside a frost-free hose bibb, causing freeze damage to the internal parts, valve body, or water tube. Most Arrowhead and Prier hose bibbs can be repaired when the damage is limited to internal parts; a cracked valve body or water tube usually requires replacement.
If the internal parts are worn or damaged, Arrow Head and Prier hose bibbs can be repaired. If the hose bibb body is cracked from freezing, replacement is required. We inspect the hose bibb and explain the practical option before starting work.

A hose bibb is the outdoor faucet attached to your home’s exterior wall. It provides water access for gardening, washing, or outdoor cleaning. Over time, exposure to weather and pressure changes can cause it to leak or break, requiring replacement.
If water drips even when the faucet is off, the handle is stiff, or the fixture is corroded or cracked, it’s time for replacement. A damaged hose bibb can waste water and may lead to pipe damage inside the wall if ignored.
Our plumbers can install either standard or frost-free hose bibbs, depending on your home’s setup and exposure to cold weather. Frost-free models are ideal for protecting your plumbing from freezing temperatures in Seattle and nearby areas.

Yes. Disconnect the hose and let it drain fully before storing it.
Frost-free spigots work by placing the actual shutoff valve well inside the house, past the insulated wall line, so the exposed section stays dry once water stops flowing — but only if nothing is blocking it from draining. A hose left attached keeps that barrel section full of water, which defeats the design and can still let it freeze and crack. So: disconnect, drain the hose, and leave the spigot itself uncovered and hose-free through winter.
Yes. A leaking frost-free hose bibb (sillcock) can cause real damage inside the wall, even though it’s designed to prevent freezing.
Signs of a hidden leak: damp or discolored drywall/siding near the spigot, a musty smell, soft or spongy wall material, or an unexplained rise in water usage. If you suspect a leak, it’s worth having us inspect it, since interior damage can go undetected for a while.
