Remove and drain the hose, close the inside valve that feeds the outdoor faucet, then open the outside faucet so the line drains. Leaving it open lets any remaining water expand without breaking the pipe. An insulated cover adds another layer of protection.
They still help, but they matter most on older faucets. IBHS says homes built before 2010 typically don't have frostproof outdoor faucets, and advises shutting off and insulating those valves. Even a frost-free spigot can split if a hose is left attached.
They sit outside in direct cold. The Red Cross lists outdoor hose bibs among the pipes that freeze most often, because water expands as it freezes and puts heavy pressure on the pipe until it can break.
If an outdoor faucet is already leaking inside the wall or water shows up in the basement, shut off the main water and call a plumber. 24/7 Express Handyman Service handles covers and hose prep, not repairs to the water line.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
