Outdoor Plumbing System Repair in San Antonio, TX
Dripping hose bibs, a broken line in the yard, a wet spot near the meter. We take care of the plumbing outside your walls.
Why this happens
Outside plumbing lives a hard life. Hose bibs freeze, catch a mower now and then, and wear from daily watering. The line from your meter to the house can crack when the ground shifts. Sprinkler backflow preventers split in hard freezes. A swampy patch in the lawn, a meter spinning with every tap closed, or weak pressure across the house can all mean an outdoor leak.

Outdoor Plumbing System Repair near Alamo Ranch and Westover Hills
Most far west side homes have a sprinkler system the HOA expects you to keep running, along with hose bibs on unprotected walls. Clay soil moves yard lines around, and every big freeze cracks a few backflow preventers. If one of your bibs burst in 2021, the rest may be weakened. Properties toward Castroville often have long yard runs with their own set of issues.
Outdoor Plumbing System Repair FAQ
My outside faucet drips from the handle. What causes that?
Most often a worn packing washer or nut. A leak inside the wall usually means freeze damage to the valve.
How does a frost-free bib work?
The valve seat sits deep in the wall where it stays warm, so the exposed part drains and does not freeze.
Who repairs the pipe on the street side of the meter?
Your water utility, usually SAWS. From the meter to the house is on the homeowner.
