Q » What causes hose bibs to leak during spring thaw?
08 Dec, 2025
A » Hose bibs may leak during spring thaw due to freeze damage that occurs when water trapped inside the faucet expands as it freezes, cracking the bib or its internal components. When temperatures rise, the ice melts, and water seeps through these cracks. To prevent leaks, ensure proper insulation and consider installing frost-free hose bibs to protect them from freezing temperatures.
