Pittsburgh Outdoor Faucet Types and Installation

Call (412) 388-2512 if your experiencing outdoor facuet issues!
Here at W.J. McNabb Plumbing, we’ve installed every type of outdoor faucet Pittsburgh homes need. Standard hose bibs work fine in warmer spots, but Pittsburgh winters demand better. These basic models use simple compression valves – good for mild weather, trouble when temperatures drop.
Our family’s been fixing frozen faucets for 40+ years. That’s why we love frost-free hose bibs for Pittsburgh homes. These smart faucets keep their working parts warm inside your heated walls. When you turn them off, water drains from the outdoor section – no more frozen pipes or cracked faucets.
Keep Your Outdoor Faucets Safe Through Pittsburgh Winters
Need extra security? We install loose-key hose bibs too. These special faucets need a removable key to turn the water on and off. Perfect for rental properties or vacation homes, just remember to keep that key handy!
Quality matters in Pittsburgh’s tough weather. We only install faucets built to last:
-
- Solid brass faucets – fight rust and last decades
Trust Your Premier Pittsburgh Plumber to pick the right faucet for your home. Our team knows which models stand up to McKees Rocks winters. We’ll help you choose, then install it right – guaranteed.
Winter’s coming? We’ve got you covered. Pull those hoses inside where it’s warm. Got regular faucets instead of frost-free? Shut off the inside valve and drain those pipes bone-dry. If you don’t know how or need help – call our office right away!
Our family checks these same points on every service call:
Your Premier Pittsburgh Plumber knows Pittsburgh winters destroy outdoor faucets fast. After 40+ years fixing frozen pipes, we’ve learned every trick to keep your faucets flowing.
- Look for drips and leaks monthly
- Clear those screens before they clog
- Watch for loose packing nuts and worn washers
- Test your water pressure often

Fix or Replace? Trust Your Local Pittsburgh Plumber's Advice
Most outdoor faucets last 10-20 years. But Pittsburgh weather beats them up faster than most. After thousands of repairs across McKees Rocks, we know exactly when to fix and when to replace.
Sometimes a simple fix does the job:
-
- Handle leaks just need fresh seals
- Stiff turning? We’ll get it smooth again
- Washer and O-ring troubles? Quick work
- Drips that stop with a good tightening
But watch out – corroded faucets spell real trouble. Bad corrosion lets contaminated water flow right into your home. We’ve seen it too many times in our 40 years. When rust takes over or repairs keep coming back, replacing saves you money down the road.
Here’s what we tell our Pittsburgh neighbors – if your faucet needs multiple fixes or repairs, time for new. Let W.J. McNabb Plumbing take a look. We’ll give you straight talk about what your faucet needs.
