Outdoor plumbing gets ignored until it fails, largely because most of it is
either behind the house or underground.
The common jobs are straightforward: replacing worn hose bibs with quarter-turn
valves that actually shut, adding an accessible exterior shutoff so the whole
house doesn’t have to be isolated to work on one tap, and putting proper
backflow protection on irrigation connections.
The less common ones matter more. Main water line failures between the meter and
the house show up as a soaring bill, a wet patch, or pressure that has quietly
dropped over months. We locate those before excavating rather than trenching
along the line hoping to find it, which on a landscaped Peninsula lot is the
difference between a small repair and a rebuilt garden.
We also run supply for outdoor kitchens and sinks, and handle the sequencing
where that ties into gas for a grill — same crew, one visit, rather than
coordinating two trades around each other.
