Frost-Free Spigot: Disconnect

So, your frost-free spigot is supposed to be just that, frost-free. You should not have to worry about it freezing and causing you water problems if you do not unhook the hose during extreme cold.

But even if it is "frost-free", you still need to disconnect it during the winter months or you are taking a risk of your water pipes freezing and bursting. Why? Because water expands when it freezes and takes up about 10% more space than the same amount of liquid water does. Unfortunately, there is no room for expansion in your water pipes. And even though your frost-free spigots should allow for this expansion, is it worth taking a chance with your home?

Don't Dose... Unhook the Hose!!!

If you do forget and the water lines break, call the Local Area Experts to dry it up and make it... "Like it never even happened."
