The pipe that connects the faucet that connects to a garden hose has bursted. It bursted right at the base where it connects to the butt end of the faucet. Anyone know any quick or home fixes? No idea how it happened but I don't want to call a plumber either if its a small fix.

 

I thought you had hemorrhoids....

 

You need to find your water shut-off, the main one to your house. It might be out at the property line in the water meter box. After you get it shut off, you have several options for the repair, all of them fairly simple. Without seeing the actual configuration of your faucet, I can't recommend anything specific.

 

The copper pipe goes through the wall (probably about 8 inches thick) and comes out maybe 1 or 2 inches. The pipe is visible and is connected somewhere else through the roof of the garage that I cannot see.

The leak is right at the tip of where the end of the faucet and pipe connects. I hope this clears it up.

 

Sorry...

 

Still need more info.. is there a soldered threaded end that the faucet is on? If so you may only need to replace the spigot (faucet).

Otherwise you'll need to sweat solder a new fitting on the pipe and possibly need some a new length of pipe. Depends on what kind of shape it's and how much room you have to play with.

Take some pics... it'd make it a lot easier for anyone to help.

 

Siggy is right, more info is needed. If the fitting (faucet) is bad, you'll probably have to shut off the water to the house and change it out. How it's connected is the next question. Threaded, soldered or maybe a compression fitting (not as likely). Once you know that, you just need to buy the right fitting and install it.

 

I agree that pics would be very helpful here.

But just from reading, it sounds like you will need to:
1. Cut off the end of the pipe, just inside of where it burst
2. Solder on a coupler and extention (one end smooth, one end threaded - obviously smooth end goes into the coupler)
3. Attach a new faucet on the threaded end.

Tools needed:
1. Hacksaw or pipe cutter
2. Solder
3. Propane Torch,
4. Flux
5. Plumbers tape (aka Tephlon tape)

I've never soldered pipe, but it should be pretty straight forward. Just make sure to use the flux and it should go together nicely.
