Outdoor Plumbing Services
From leaky hose bibs to new yard hydrant installations, we connect you with plumbers who can handle all your outdoor water needs.
Extending Your Plumbing to Your Yard
Your home's plumbing doesn't stop at the walls. Outdoor faucets (hose bibs or spigots) are essential for gardening, cleaning, and recreation. When they leak, freeze, or break, it can cause water waste and potential damage to your foundation. LocalXR connects you with professionals who can repair existing outdoor fixtures or install new ones.
Signs of Outdoor Plumbing Problems
Address these issues to prevent water waste and protect your home.
Dripping Hose Bib
A constantly dripping outdoor faucet is wasting water and likely has a worn-out washer.
Leaking from the Wall
If you see water leaking from the wall behind the spigot when it's turned on, the pipe inside the wall may be cracked.
No Water Flow
A lack of water could be a simple blockage or a sign of a frozen or broken pipe.
Low Pressure
Weak flow from your garden hose might indicate a problem with the spigot's valve or a leak in the line.
When to Call a Professional
Call a professional to repair leaky outdoor spigots, especially if the leak appears to be coming from inside the wall. Professional installation of frost-proof faucets is also crucial to prevent pipes from bursting in the winter.

Outdoor Plumbing FAQs
Should I detach my hose in the winter?
Yes, absolutely. Always detach your garden hose before the first freeze. Leaving it connected can trap water in the pipe, causing it to freeze and burst inside your wall, even with a frost-proof spigot.
What is a frost-proof sillcock?
It's a type of outdoor faucet designed with a long stem that shuts the water off deep inside the heated part of your home, preventing the water in the pipe from freezing and breaking.
