Outdoor & Irrigation Plumbing in Savannah, GA
Long growing seasons mean sprinklers, hose bibs and outdoor showers work hard here. Outdoor leaks waste water and can soak a foundation without anyone noticing.
Request a plumberHose bibs
A faucet that drips or leaks behind the handle when the hose is on usually needs a new washer or a frost-free replacement. A leak inside the wall behind it is more urgent.
Sprinkler lines
Broken heads, a zone that won't shut off, or soggy spots in the yard point to a leak or a stuck valve. Run each zone and walk the yard.
Backflow protection
Irrigation systems connect to your drinking water, so a backflow preventer stops lawn water from being drawn back into the house supply. Ask your water provider what it requires for your system.
Outdoor showers
Popular on Tybee and the islands for rinsing off sand. They need a proper drain away from the house and their own shut-off so they can be drained in a freeze.
Winter
On the few freezing nights, cover outdoor faucets and drain exposed lines. See emergency plumbing if one splits.
Water use
Watering early in the morning and fixing leaks quickly keeps bills down in the long, hot summer.
Hose connections
Washing-machine-style quick connectors and long hose runs left pressurized all summer can split. Turn the faucet off when you're done, not just the nozzle.
Frequently asked questions
- Who fixes sprinkler systems, a plumber or an irrigation company?
- Both may. A plumber handles the connection, backflow device and supply line; zone heads and controllers are often irrigation work.
- How do I find an underground leak?
- Turn off the irrigation and watch the meter. If it still moves with the house taps off, the leak may be on the supply line.
