Leaky Outdoor Faucet - Help! - Page 2

Free2be · ‎03-10-2010

We had a leaky outdoor spigot but the problem was further in and had to be accessed through a closet wall.

I hope yours is an easy fix, it depends on how the plumbing is set up.

Go to Lowe's/Home Depot and get an adapter with a shut off valve you can just attach to the end of the faucet or hose. They're just a few dollars. Or if you have a hose and a spray nozzle, just attach the nozzle and leave it in the closed position.

I have a shut off valve on my facet outside and just happened to look over there and I had a mountain of ice around the facet and going down to the ground. I don't feel like I left it on but I can't get the ice off, there is so much, I may have to call a plumber. It is supposed to get to 57 tomorrow and I can go look again. I hope it hasn't backed up into the house.

Thanks everyone for the good ideas. I rent, so I have to be careful. I can't turn the shut off valve, it's super tight. I'll research it and hopefully find an easy cure.

Thanks again for all the good suggestions. I always know people here are so informative.

Why haven't you called your landlord since you rent from them? They are responsible for any repairs. Give them a call!!!

Yes, I agree, you should call your landlord. If it is not fixed, it could cause major problems.
