Services

Outdoor Plumbing Services We Handle

Outdoor faucet (hose bib) repair and replacement

Leaking hose bibs, handles that won't shut off, frost-free bibs that aren't draining properly or a hose bib that split over winter.

Irrigation line repair

Broken poly pipe, damaged heads, a line that was hit by a shovel or a section that's eroding the yard. We find the leak and repair the line.

Backflow preventer for irrigation

Oregon requires a backflow preventer on every irrigation system. If yours is missing, leaking or due for testing, we handle it. See our backflow prevention page.

Outdoor spigot installation

Adding a hose bib to the side of the garage, back of the house or near a detached structure. We run supply line from inside and install a frost-free bib sized for your water pressure.

Yard drain and French drain

A pooling yard or driveway flooding after rain. We install or clear yard drains and French drains to move water away from the house. Tigard's wet season is long — proper drainage protects your foundation.

Outdoor shower installation

Adding a rinse-off shower on a deck or near a pool. We tie into the nearest supply line, run hot and cold if needed and install a proper drain.

Sprinkler system plumbing

We handle the plumbing side of irrigation systems — supply connection, backflow preventer, pressure regulation and main line. We don't design sprinkler layouts, but we handle the plumbing code requirements.

Outdoor gas lines

Gas line to a BBQ, fire pit, outdoor heater or generator. See our gas line services page for details on outdoor gas line installation.

Hose Bibs

Hose Bib Repair and Replacement

Dripping from the spout when off

The washer or seat inside the valve has worn out. Repairable without replacing the whole bib in most cases.

Leaking around the handle stem

The packing washer behind the handle has failed. We replace the packing while the water is off — quick repair.

Split from freezing

A hose left connected over winter backs water up into the pipe section inside the wall. If that section freezes, the pipe splits. We replace the cracked section and the hose bib.

Frost-free bib not draining

Frost-free bibs have a stem that extends back into heated space. When a hose is left on, the bib can't drain and loses its freeze protection. We check the stem length and correct installation.

Yard Drainage

Yard Flooding in Tigard

Tigard's wet season runs October through April. Yards that pool water, driveways that flood and low spots next to the foundation can cause long-term damage. Proper drainage moves the water away before it becomes a structural problem.

Standing water in the yard

A French drain or catch basin moves water away from the low spot and into a proper discharge point — away from the house or into the storm system.

Water pooling next to the foundation

Water next to the foundation will eventually find its way into the crawl space or basement. A perimeter drain or redirected downspout can prevent long-term moisture issues.

Blocked yard drain or area drain

Leaves, sediment and debris block Tigard yard drains every fall. We clear blocked drains and flush the connected line to restore flow.

Driveway flooding

A channel drain at the bottom of a sloped driveway intercepts runoff before it reaches the garage. We install the drain and connect it to a proper discharge point.

Local Knowledge

Outdoor Plumbing in Tigard: What to Know

Frozen hose bibs are a Tigard winter problem

Tigard doesn't freeze hard often, but when temperatures drop below 28°F, outdoor faucets without proper freeze protection can split. The fix: disconnect your garden hoses every fall before the first freeze. Frost-free bibs also need the hose off to drain properly.

Wet season and drainage

Tigard averages 37 inches of rain per year, mostly between October and April. Yards without proper drainage collect water that migrates toward foundations and crawl spaces. It's better to address drainage in the dry season before the rains start.

Backflow required on irrigation

Every irrigation system connected to Tigard's water supply requires a backflow preventer. If you're adding or repairing irrigation, we include the backflow assembly as part of the plumbing work. Annual testing is also required by Tigard Water.

Common Questions

Outdoor Plumbing Questions

Why is my outdoor faucet leaking?

Most outdoor faucet leaks are a worn washer inside the valve (dripping from the spout) or a failed packing behind the handle (leaking around the stem). Both are repairable without replacing the whole bib.

What is a frost-free hose bib and do I need one?

A frost-free bib has a long stem that places the valve inside the heated part of the wall, away from freezing temperatures. In Tigard, frost-free bibs are standard. The key is disconnecting your hose in fall so the bib can drain and stay frost-free.

My outdoor faucet split over winter. How much does it cost to replace?

Hose bib replacement in Tigard typically runs $150–$350 installed. If the pipe behind the wall also split, add repair of that section.

My yard floods every winter. What are my options?

The main options are a French drain (a perforated pipe in gravel that collects and redirects water), a catch basin, or regrading to direct water away from the house. We assess the site and recommend what fits your yard.

Can you add a hose bib to the back of my house?

Yes. We run a supply line from inside, penetrate the exterior wall and install a frost-free hose bib. Most installs take a few hours.

Do I need a permit for a new outdoor faucet in Oregon?

Yes. Adding a new hose bib or outdoor water connection in Oregon requires a plumbing permit. We pull it as part of the job.

My irrigation has a leak somewhere. How do you find it?

We look for wet spots, pressure loss and zones that don't build pressure correctly. Once we locate the break we repair the line and check the rest of the system while we're there.

Does my irrigation system need a backflow preventer?

Yes. Oregon requires a backflow preventer on every irrigation system connected to the potable water supply. If yours doesn't have one, we install the correct device and it must be tested annually. See our backflow prevention page.

Can you install an outdoor shower?

Yes. We run supply lines to the outdoor location, install a mixing valve for hot and cold if needed, and install a proper drain with a trap. We pull the permit as part of the job.

Who is responsible for a water line that runs to a detached garage?

You are — it's part of your private plumbing system. We repair or install supply lines to outbuildings, garages and detached structures as part of outdoor plumbing work.
