Outside Faucet Sprays Like a Shower in Fuquay-Varina
Fuquay-Varina · October 2026 · Alex · From our service records

What the customer reported
A Fuquay-Varina homeowner with a roughly 12-year-old house called about a leaking hose bib. He said that when he uses the outside faucet, he takes a shower.
What we found and did
Alex found that the vacuum breaker had failed, which caused the water to spray out. These often have a screw that breaks off inside, so the breaker can't be removed. The home is a slab home, and the homeowner said the other hose bib is located behind the stove in the kitchen and he did not want to cut open the wall. Alex was able to pull the hose bib on the left side of the home out and connect to it from outside.
