Fasten Your Hose Bib.

No, this is not information for moms with their babies.  It is that thing outside of your Columbus area home that dispenses water.  It’s an outside spigot, located on the exterior of your house.  This time of year the hose bib gets a workout after it laid dormant all winter long.  Now, it may be time to replace it.

To fix it a plumber will –


1.  Turn off the water at the source
2.  Unscrew the packing nut located beneath the handle
3.  Grasp the handle and pull the valve stem out without causing damage
4.  Then remove the screw on the valve stem holding the washer

Maybe it is a DIY job, but it is probably left to a plumbing professional who has done it hundreds of times.  In the Columbus Ohio area that man is Brent Staats the owner of Staats Plumbing in Columbus.  For any and all plumbing problems that may occur on your property be it residential or commercial call Brent at (740) 625-5284.
