Prevent freezing your water lines by having a frost-free outdoor faucet installed.

Riley is very friendly and personable. It was great to have such a knowledgeable, communicative and pleasant person do the repairs needed.” Judy L
Every home in Edmonton needs a frost-free outdoor faucet is handy, prevents freezing in your water line, and allows you to use your outdoor tap all year long. As you know, temperature lows often drop below -30°C. So, protecting your home’s plumbing isn’t optional; it is essential. A frost-free outdoor faucet is a plumbing upgrade you’ll wonder how you ever lived with out.
A frost-free faucet (also called a freeze-proof faucet or sillcock) is like a standard outdoor tap, but winterized.
A frost-free faucet has a long stem that extends inside your home, where it’s warm enough to keep water from freezing. Typical outdoor faucets keep the water close to the exterior where it’s exposed to sub-zero temperatures, and require homeowners to turn off the outdoor water lines in the fall. (At least the fall months in Edmonton, where freezing temperatures can come early.)
Frost-Free taps can be used all year, including in January, without risking a frozen pipe disaster.
Edmonton’s average winter temperatures hover between -10°C and -20°C, but as we know, often dip lower during extreme cold snaps. These are the kind of conditions that cause water to expand, pipes to burst, and homeowners to panic. A frost-free faucet eliminates this risk by keeping the water supply inside the warmth of your home’s walls.
Love late-fall gardening? Need to rinse the dog off after a muddy romp in January? Frost-free faucets give you outdoor water access even in winter (yes, even in Edmonton).
Have peace of mind, knowing your outdoor water lines will not freeze or burst i the coldest Edmonton months. (A burst outdoor faucet can cost a fortune in water damage repairs, so installing a frost-free tap is a small investment that could save you a lot of money in the long run.)
