Hose Bib Replacement

A leaking or broken outdoor faucet is more than a nuisance — get it replaced before it causes damage you did not plan for.

A hose bib seems like one of the smallest things on a home — until it starts leaking. A slow drip from an outdoor faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water over time, drive up your water bill, and quietly cause damage to the exterior wall or foundation behind and below it. Older hose bibs in Nashville-area homes corrode, crack, strip out internally, or simply wear past the point of reliable operation. When that happens, a replacement is almost always the smarter call over trying to repair a unit that has already given out. At Black Cat Electric and Plumbing, we replace hose bibs cleanly and correctly — with properly sealed, frost-resistant models that hold up through Middle Tennessee winters without failing.

The replacement process involves shutting off the water supply, removing the old faucet, inspecting the connection at the wall for any existing damage or corrosion, and installing a new hose bib that is properly threaded, sealed, and secured. Kyle Tapia handles the work personally and pays attention to what is behind the wall as well as what is visible from the outside. If the existing connection has corroded pipe threads or shows signs of water intrusion into the wall cavity, we identify that during the replacement and address it before installing the new unit. A hose bib replaced correctly does not leak at the wall, does not drip at the spout, and does not fail the first winter it faces.

This is a straightforward job when it is done right — and the consequences of doing it wrong show up later in water damage, mold, or a repeat call. If your outdoor faucet is dripping, leaking at the wall, or will not shut off completely, call (615) 479-0327 and we will get it taken care of cleanly and quickly.

What We Offer:

Standard Hose Bib Replacement – Full removal of your existing outdoor faucet and installation of a new, properly sealed hose bib that operates correctly and does not leak at the spout or wall connection.
Frost-Free Hose Bib Installation – Installation of frost-resistant outdoor faucets designed to prevent freeze damage during cold Tennessee winters by draining water back from the spout when shut off.
Wall Connection Inspection & Repair – During every hose bib replacement, we inspect the existing wall connection and surrounding area for corrosion, damaged threads, or signs of water intrusion that need to be addressed before the new unit goes in.
Shut-Off Valve Inspection & Replacement – We check the interior shut-off valve feeding the hose bib and replace it if it is no longer operating correctly — so you have reliable control over the outdoor water supply when you need it.
Proper Thread Sealing & Weatherproofing – Every replacement includes proper thread sealant application and exterior weatherproofing to prevent leaks at the wall penetration point from the start.
Multiple Hose Bib Locations – Whether your home has one outdoor faucet or several at different locations around the exterior, we can assess and replace all of them in a single visit when needed.

Why Choose Black Cat Electric and Plumbing for Hose Bib Replacement

Attention to What Is Behind the Wall – Most hose bib replacements are straightforward. But sometimes the wall connection has corroded threads, damaged pipe, or signs of water intrusion that get missed when someone just swaps the faucet and moves on. We check the condition of the connection before the new unit goes in — not after.

Frost-Resistant Models as Standard – Nashville winters are cold enough to freeze and crack a standard outdoor faucet. We install frost-free hose bibs as the default replacement option, which drain automatically when shut off and eliminate the most common cause of outdoor faucet failure in Middle Tennessee.

Licensed Plumber Does the Work — A hose bib replacement involves working with your home's water supply system, and doing it incorrectly leads to leaks inside the wall that may not be visible for months. Kyle Tapia is a licensed plumber who handles this work with the same care as any other plumbing job on the property.

Quick, Clean Single-Visit Service – Hose bib replacement is typically completed in a single visit. We come prepared, do the work cleanly, and leave without a dripping faucet, a wet wall, or a mess behind us. Small job, same standard.
