A leaking or malfunctioning outdoor faucet is not only an annoyance but also leads to significant water waste and potential damage to your home’s exterior, foundation, or interior walls. As C-20 licensed mechanical contractors, MDTECH provides certified expertise to ensure durable and code-compliant plumbing solutions.

Targeted Solutions for Common Outdoor Faucet Issues

Our technicians diagnose and repair the specific mechanical failures common to exterior plumbing fixtures:

1. Consistent Drip or Spout Leak

• The Diagnosis: If water constantly drips from the spout when the handle is closed, the main seal is broken. This is typically due to a worn-out washer (in compression faucets) or a damaged cartridge (in modern models).

• The MDTECH Fix: We isolate the water supply, disassemble the faucet, and replace the internal stem washer, seat washer, or cartridge. This restores the tight seal and eliminates dripping, conserving water.

2. Leak Behind the Handle (Stem Leak)

• The Diagnosis: Water leaks from around the faucet handle when the water is turned on.

• The MDTECH Fix: This requires servicing the packing material or the O-rings surrounding the valve stem. We either tighten the packing nut or replace the internal packing components to stop the leak without affecting the main water flow.

3. Faucet Replacement Due to Corrosion or Freeze Damage

• The Diagnosis: The faucet body is visibly corroded, or there is a severe leak behind the wall, indicating the fixture split due to freezing water.

• The MDTECH Fix: We carefully remove the damaged fixture and install a new, robust replacement. We recommend and install frost-free sillcocks which utilize an extended pipe to locate the valve seat inside the home’s heated space, minimizing the chance of future freeze-related failures. We ensure all connections to the main water line are professionally sealed.
