Outdoor spigot leaks in Montgomery County are almost always either a worn seat washer or a failed packing seal, both of which are repairable without replacing the whole unit. Jacob diagnoses outdoor hose bib problems throughout Gaithersburg, Rockville, Bethesda, and all 16 cities in the service area and tells you whether repair or replacement is the right call.

What Is Included
Packing nut and stem washer repair for leaks at the handle
Seat washer replacement for dripping at the spout when off
Packing nut adjustment where the stem seal is salvageable
Assessment of freeze damage and internal cracking
Interior shut-off valve check to confirm it holds properly
Caulking at the wall penetration if the seal has failed
When to Call
Water drips from the spout continuously even when the handle is fully off
Water drips from the area around the handle or packing nut when the spigot is open

What Affects the Cost
Every job is different. Here is what determines the cost:
Whether repair or full replacement is the correct solution after diagnosis
Spigot type and how the valve body is connected to the supply pipe
Condition of the interior shut-off valve and whether it needs service
Whether caulking or wall repair is needed at the exterior penetration
