Disconnect Hoses from Outside Faucets

Following a flood or water damage, it is crucial to disconnect hoses from outside faucets to prevent further damage and ensure proper repairs.

How to Disconnect Hoses from Outside Faucets

  • Locate the faucet: Identify the outside faucet where the hose is connected.
  • Turn off the water supply: Shut off the water supply to the faucet using the valve located near the faucet or main water shut-off valve.
  • Release water pressure: Open the faucet to release any remaining water pressure in the hose.
  • Disconnect the hose: Use a wrench or pliers to loosen the coupling that connects the hose to the faucet. Avoid using excessive force.
  • Inspect the hose and faucet: Check the hose for any leaks or damage. Inspect the faucet for any debris or corrosion.
  • Store the hose: Coil the hose and store it in a dry, protected location until further use.
