Insulation helps on the interior run, but it only slows heat loss, it doesn't add heat. On a line that already freezes most autumns, the real fix is draining it and closing a dedicated valve. Insulation on its own gives people false confidence.

A small amount of water at the base right after use is how the drain port is supposed to work, since the hydrant empties below the frost line. Constant wetness when the hydrant isn't running is a different matter and usually points to a worn plunger or a cracked standpipe. Either way it wants looking at before the ground freezes.

Two things are worth confirming: that it drains fully after use, and that the ground around the base isn't staying saturated. A hydrant that can't drain will freeze in the standpipe. Fixing it after the ground hardens is much more disruptive.
