check the indoor water bibs.
There is usually a valve inside the house that shuts off the water to the outside hose bibb ( lawn service, sill cock, hydrant etc. - depends where you're from ). Find and shut this valve until spring. When the weather is reliably warm, open the inside valve and check to see if the frozen piping has split. If there is water running with the outside valve shut off, the ice has burst the pipe from the inside and a section of pipe and probably the outside valve will have to be replaced.
Turn hose connection at outside faucet counter-clockwise to disconnect.
A garden hose pressure relief valve is designed to regulate and release excess pressure in a garden hose system. It helps prevent damage to the hose and other components by maintaining the optimal pressure levels. When the pressure exceeds a safe limit, the relief valve opens to release the excess pressure, ensuring the system operates smoothly and efficiently.
By isolating the valve then remove it and replace it
A hose bibb may be known as a spigot or faucet in your area. In any case, it is the valve to which you connect a garden hose.
Replace it.
Get inside with a flash light and a friend outside with a garden hose and find out where the leak is.
A garden hose washer is a small rubber or plastic ring that is placed inside the hose coupling to create a tight seal. It helps prevent leaks and ensures a strong connection between the hose and the faucet or nozzle. This helps maintain the functionality of the garden hose by reducing water wastage, preventing water pressure loss, and extending the lifespan of the hose.

Yes, a running hose can freeze if left outside in cold temperatures because the water inside the hose can freeze due to the low temperatures.
The water for your house comes under the ground and under your house generally coming up under the kitchen sink. There is usually a 'stop cock' there for turning it off. Most outside taps are tapped off the cold supply after that 'stop cock' When the hose is turned on outside, someone inside will hear the sound of the water rushing through that stop cock.
If you notice your garden hose leaking at the faucet, you should first try tightening the connection between the hose and the faucet. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the washer inside the hose connector or the faucet itself. It's important to fix the leak promptly to prevent water waste and potential damage to your garden or property.
