I’m always happy to pass on great info...and this is great info!.

Plumbing runs through your home, carrying water and gas to your bathroom, kitchen, laundry and living space. But many elements of your backyard living area rely on well-designed, high quality plumbing. Consider these top five outdoor plumbing problems that all homeowners face and find out how to solve them quickly and affordably.

Broken or Leaky Hose Bib

Hose bibs provide the water source for your outdoor hoses. These well-used plumbing connections can break, burst, or fall apart due to age and general wear. Hose bibs are also susceptible to frost damage.

Leaky Sprinkler Pipes or Broken Sprinkler Heads

Sprinkler systems provide worry-free irrigation for urban, suburban and rural properties. But most of these residential systems are quite easy to break or damage. Landscapers often have trouble with sprinkler lines and any digging in the yard could end up cutting a line or breaking a sprinkler head.

Unable to Locate Plumbing Lines for Future Work

Landscaping plans typically evolve over time with new features being added or changed every few seasons. But your outdoor plumbing may be vulnerable when these evolutions involve major changes and excavation.

Roots Interfering with Existing Outdoor Plumbing

Shallow tree and shrub roots can cause problems with plumbing lines running through your yard or along the house. Any location where tree roots and plumbing lines mingle has the potential for disaster. Aggressive and strong, roots move to water sources and can quickly wind around joints and straight runs. As the roots grow and search for moisture these joints and piping crack, bend and break under the stress.
