A leaking water spigot can spell trouble for your home.

As we move closer and closer to summer, acts associated with using your outside hose become more common. Whether that be watering your grass, watering your plants, or filling up a pool. With this becomes the danger of discovering your outside water spigot froze and cracked, meaning the first time you turn on the water it can create major water damage in your home. Often times, most people do not realize there is a problem until after it is far too late. Having someone in the house on the other side of the wall where the spigot is located or in the basement can be crucial and lead to early detection. If you discover there is a leak, you should use the shut off valve located in the house to turn off the water supply. Immediately contact a plumber to have them out to inspect and take care of the problem before it gets out of hand.
