What causes an outside spigot to leak?

• <div>That pesky faucet leak can have a few different causes, most of which are standard wear and tear that occurs over time, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying, especially when the energy bill hits:<ul><li>Old washer: A deteriorated washer or gasket is the most common cause of a leak. Luckily, it’s easy and affordable to fix.</li><li>Old packing nut: There’s a chance the packing nut (located beneath the handle) is loose and simply needs tightening, or it has been worn down, stripped, and needs to be replaced.</li><li>Freezing temperatures: The water sitting in your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/freeze-proof-faucets.htm">spigot over winter can freeze</a>, expand, and lead to damage and leaks.</li><li>High water pressure: High water pressure is hard on pipes over time and can cause cracks and leaks, too.</li></ul></div>

What should you do while you wait for an emergency plumber?

• <div>Many homeowners stress about cleaning before an emergency plumber arrives, but you’re far better off doing the following while you wait for your plumber to get to your home:<ul><li><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/water-shutoff-valve-key-avoiding-damage.htm">Shut the water off</a> at your water main if you have a leak or a burst pipe </li><li>Avoid using any water fixtures in your home, including appliances</li><li>Clear a path to the problem area so that it’s easily accessible </li><li>Consider shutting your breaker if you’re concerned that the leak may affect your electrical system</li></ul></div>
