Did you turn on your (frost free) outside faucet and water starting leaking inside your house? Here's the top 5 reasons that is happening:
A hose was left on the faucet during freezing weather and split the faucet.
The faucet is split because you forgot to remove a hose before freezing weather
It was installed without correct pitch
It doesn't extend into an adequately heat space
But really, I bet someone left a hose attached to it
Remove all hoses and adapters from outside faucets before any freezing weather.
Bonus tip:
Save yourself some headaches by not leaving aluminum hose connectors attached to faucets for extended periods of time. I don't know why, but those aluminum to brass connections seize up and need to be cut off with a hacksaw.
