Replace Hose Spigot Fountain Valley
Old outdoor faucets (also called hose bibs or spigots) wear out all the time in Fountain Valley. Some leak at the handle, some spray from the threads, and others spin in place like they ain’t even connected. When you need to replace a hose spigot in Fountain Valley, we make it fast, clean, and worry-free.
We’ve swapped out hundreds of these from homes off Magnolia and Slater to backyards near Los Alisos Intermediate. Whether it’s stripped, leaking, or completely busted off the wall, we’ll cut out the bad section and solder, crimp, or thread on a new frost-proof spigot that actually works.
Every hose bib we install gets tested under pressure and sealed tight to prevent leaks into the wall. Plus, we make sure it’s mounted clean and solid—not dangling or crooked.
Call us (714) 964-3519 to replace your hose spigot in Fountain Valley. Most are done in under an hour.
Story: Garden Trouble Off Brookhurst
A homeowner near Brookhurst and Talbert called us in late spring. They were trying to set up new drip irrigation and noticed their back spigot was gushing water from the handle every time they turned it on. They tried duct tape (didn’t work), then a spray sealant (also didn’t work).
We came out that afternoon, shut off the water at the side valve, and found the internal stem cracked. The wall pipe was also wobbly. We cut it out, cleaned it up, and installed a frost-proof vacuum breaker spigot that won’t freeze or leak. The homeowner was back watering the garden that same evening—and the side of the house was no longer soaked.

Homeowner Prep Before Hose Spigot Work
You don’t need to lift a finger—but here’s how you can help us out:
- Clear any garden tools, pots, or hoses near the spigot
- Let us know if the water shut off is inside or outside
- Avoid using irrigation or sprinklers the morning of service
Totally optional, but it makes things go smoother and quicker.

DIY Mistakes That End in Leaks
- Using plastic hose bibs (they snap)
- Threading the new one in crooked
- Forgetting to drain the line first
- Soldering too hot and melting the gasket
It might seem like an easy job—but one slip could flood the wall cavity. Best to leave it to the pros.
