Licensed and Experienced Local Plumbers You Can Trust
An outdoor faucet – leaning tools, and even fun summer activities for the kids. Most properties typically have at least two outdoor taps: one in the front yard and another in the backyard.
While these faucets are built to handle seasonal use, they are not immune to wear and tear. Exposure to the elements, corrosion, rubber gasket deterioration, and most importantly, freezing during winter can all lead to leaks, cracks, or complete failure.
At Mister Plumber and Sewer Expert, our licensed plumbers in Mississauga provide expert outdoor tap repair, replacement, and installation services. Whether your faucet is leaking, damaged, or due for an upgrade, we’re here to help—quickly and professionally.
Common Issues With Outdoor Taps
Outdoor faucets are simple in function but can develop a variety of issues over time:
- Leaking or dripping even when shut off
- Stiff or hard-to-turn handles
- Frozen and burst valves or pipes
- Corroded or visibly damaged taps
- Low water pressure or blocked spouts
If you’re dealing with any of these problems, it’s important to address them quickly to avoid water waste or potential flooding in your basement or exterior walls.
Cold Water Garden Taps Connected to Copper Pipes
This is the most common type of outdoor faucet found in Mississauga homes. These taps are usually installed on copper lines and can sometimes be repaired by replacing the cartridge, provided the correct brand and size are available.
If repair parts aren’t accessible or the valve is too damaged, full replacement is the best option. Our plumbers use professional soldering techniques to install a new valve, ensuring a durable and watertight connection. We’ll shut off the water using the appropriate shut-off valve—either the dedicated indoor valve or the main valve near your water meter. Most repairs or replacements can be completed in under an hour, and we often offer same-day service in Mississauga.
Frost-Free Outdoor Faucet Installation and Repair
Frost-free or “self-draining” outdoor taps are designed to prevent freezing during cold weather. These taps feature a long stem that shuts off water inside the heated interior of your home, keeping the valve protected from freezing temperatures.
However, to function properly, the garden hose must be disconnected before winter. If water remains trapped in the pipe due to a connected hose, it can freeze and cause serious damage.
When repairing or replacing frost-free taps, our plumbers ensure compatibility by using the same brand and size of cartridge. For new installations, we’ll carefully drill through the exterior wall and connect the valve to the interior plumbing with minimal disruption to your home.
New Outdoor Faucet Installation and Upgrades
Whether you’re building a new home, renovating, or simply upgrading your outdoor plumbing, we offer expert installation services with customizable options:
- Choose from cold-only or hot-and-cold mixing valves
- Upgrade to frost-free models for winter protection
- Install larger water lines (¾” or 1”) for sprinkler systems
- Strategic placement for easy access and future maintenance
- Interior shut-off valves with drain ports for winterization
Proper planning of your outdoor tap’s location ensures convenience, durability, and ease of seasonal maintenance.
