Outdoor Plumbing Also Needs Your Attention!
According to the Washington Post, a simple drip from a leak leads to over 34 million gallons of water per year?
That’s water gone down the drain—somewhat literally—and high utility bills!
However, when you talk about plumbing, the first thought that comes to mind is indoor plumbing.
However, what most people tend to not realize is that outdoor plumbing can face just as much troubles as indoor plumbing.
As your Delray Beach plumber, we advise you about outdoor plumbing.
What does outdoor plumbing include?
If you’re someone who hasn’t focused much on outside plumbing, then here are a few systems you should know:
- Faucets
- Drains
- Septic lines
- Sewer lines etc.
It’s important to keep one eye open at all times to notice any problem that may be occurring. Immediately addressing the issue may save you from a large expense! Here are three of the common outdoor problems you can keep an eye out for:
Problem #1: Sprinklers
If you own a large garden, then sprinklers are a must-have for you! However, sprinklers are not a onetime purchase and need to be maintained.
One of the major outdoor plumbing problem that people tend to face is leak in the sprinkler system. Usually people tend to dig up the garden to get to the root of the problem, however this can only lead to property damage. Sprinklers often have unexpected damage which can only be addressed by professional plumbers so if you face dampness near your sprinklers, contact a professional immediately!
Problem #2: Winterizing faucets
Summers are on their way out and winters are making their way. One of the most common problems during winters is often the outdoor faucets getting frozen. These may not seem like a major problem but often leads to a pressure build up which eventually damages the faucet.
Instead of steaming your pipes, which is often dangerous for both animals and you, it’s better to contact a professional plumber to winterize your pipes.
Problem #3: Hose bibs
Hose bibs supply water to outdoor plumbing fixtures and are often susceptible to damage. This is another problem that is much common during winters. Hose bibs tend to leak or crack during winters which affect the water supply in the entire outdoor area.
