window cleaner

I am a window cleaner in Florida. Today as I was cleaning a customers windows i banged into the outside spigot with the window screen. No big deal, that kind of thing happens all of the time. By the time I secured the screen in place and moved to the next window the spigot was on the ground and a stream of water was shooting out of the wall. I turned the water off at the curb and alerted the homeowner of what happened. They think I should be responsible for it and even accused me of standing on it! Right. Well, I think it was previously compromised and when the screen hit it was the final straw. The PVC broke flush with the wall so a plumber was called to chip away enough wall to cap it off to the tune of $900. Does PVC, at the thread, have any tendencies to crack and weaken to the point of bumping it will break it?
