Hose Bibbs
Professional Hose Bibbs from licensed plumbers. Upfront pricing. Workmanship guaranteed. Serving the Golden Horseshoe since 1922.
Hose bibb failures are a frequent and often hidden source of water damage, a cracked bibb from winter freezing can leak behind the exterior wall for days before it is noticed. Frost-free hose bibbs installed at the wrong angle fail to drain and freeze anyway. Birnie Plumbing & Drains installs frost-free bibbs correctly, repairs cracked or leaking units, and replaces failed shutoff valves on the supply side.
How Our Hose Bibbs Service Works
A clear, professional process every visit, every customer.
Inspect the Existing Bibb
We assess the existing hose bibb for freeze damage, internal washer condition, shutoff valve function, and wall penetration seal.
Shut Off and Drain
Indoor shutoff isolated, supply drained, and bibb safely removed without damaging the exterior cladding or interior wall.
Install Frost-Free Bibb
Frost-free bibb installed at the correct angle (slight downward pitch to the exterior) to ensure complete drainage and freeze protection.
Seal and Secure
Exterior wall penetration sealed against air and water infiltration. Interior shutoff tested for correct operation.
Flow Test and Guarantee
Full flow test confirms the bibb is operating correctly. Workmanship guarantee on installation.
Benefits of Professional Hose Bibbs
Prevents Interior Water Damage
A cracked hose bibb from winter freezing can leak inside the wall cavity undetected for days, damaging insulation, framing, and interior finishes before it is noticed.
Reliable Outdoor Water Access
A properly functioning frost-free bibb with a working interior shutoff gives you reliable outdoor water access and the ability to isolate the line quickly when needed.
Correct Frost-Free Installation Angle
A frost-free bibb installed at the wrong angle does not drain completely and can still freeze. Correct installation ensures the tube drains every time the handle is closed.
Backflow Prevention Included
Modern hose bibbs include integral backflow prevention that protects your potable water supply from garden hose contamination.
Interior Shutoff Valve Serviced
Many older homes have interior hose bibb shutoffs that are stuck open or corroded. We test and replace these so you have dependable isolation control.
Exterior Penetration Sealed
The wall penetration around the bibb is sealed against air and water infiltration on every installation, protecting the wall assembly.
Workmanship Guaranteed
All hose bibb installations are covered by our full workmanship guarantee. If it leaks or freezes due to our installation, we come back and correct it.
