When Should a Hose Bib Be Replaced?

Many homeowners aren’t sure when to repair or replace their hose bibs. Consider replacement if:

• The hose bib continues to leak after internal washers or seals are replaced
• Water sprays or seeps from the base of the fixture or wall
• The handle no longer turns smoothly or shuts off completely
• The hose bib shows extensive rust or green corrosion

If any of these issues sound familiar, we can inspect the fixture and recommend the best course of action.

Why Upgrade to a Modern Hose Bib?

In Long Beach and Lakewood, outdoor plumbing faces year-round exposure to sun, moisture, and coastal air. Upgrading to a modern hose bib offers several advantages:

Newer models also offer features like:

• Internal seals that resist corrosion
• Smoother handle operation
• Built-in backflow prevention (anti-siphon)
• Cleaner connections that reduce leaks at the hose thread

Even without cold weather concerns, these upgrades enhance performance, lower maintenance, and help protect your home’s plumbing from avoidable wear.

Upgrade to an Anti-Siphon Model

Older hose bibs may allow backflow, where contaminated water can be siphoned into your home’s plumbing system. By switching to an anti-siphon hose bib, you help protect your home’s water supply from dirt, chemicals, or debris that might otherwise enter through a hose.

Many modern building codes now recommend or require anti-siphon models, especially for homes with irrigation systems or multiple outdoor connections.
