Outdoor faucet leaking or won't shut off — Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland
A dripping hose bib or outdoor faucet wastes water, erodes the foundation, and can freeze and burst in winter. Common causes include a worn washer or O-ring, a corroded valve seat, a cracked vacuum breaker, or a failed frost-proof stem. A plumber can replace internal seals, swap the entire sillcock if it is frost-damaged, and install a backflow preventer to protect your drinking water supply.
