Outdoor Plumbing Services in South Metro Denver

From hose bibbs and backflow preventers to vacation valves and freeze damage repair — Southside Plumbing keeps your outdoor plumbing protected through every Colorado season.

BEYOND THE FOUNDATION WALLS

Your Home’s Plumbing Doesn’t Stop at the Door

Colorado’s dramatic temperature swings make outdoor plumbing one of the most vulnerable parts of your home. A hose bibb that survived August can crack in October. A backflow preventer that tested fine in spring can fail after a hard freeze. And a garden hose left connected overnight can turn a simple fixture into a burst pipe behind your wall.

Southside Plumbing handles the hard piping — copper and brass supply lines — that feeds your outdoor fixtures, including hose bibbs, spigots, and backflow preventers. We repair freeze damage, install new outdoor fixtures, and add vacation valves that let you shut off indoor water while keeping your lawn irrigation running. Our master plumbers have been protecting Highlands Ranch homes from outdoor plumbing failures since 2005.

TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE

Vacation Valves: Protect Your Home While You’re Away

  • Lawn stays watered — Irrigation keeps running on its normal schedule while you travel.
  • Leak protection — Indoor water supply is shut off, eliminating the risk of an unattended leak causing water damage.
  • No neighbor coordination — You don’t need to ask someone to come turn your water on and off while you’re away.
  • Insurance-friendly — Many homeowner policies look favorably on proactive water damage prevention measures.

Outdoor Plumbing FAQ

The most common cause is water left in the line that froze and expanded. When water freezes inside a hose bibb or the pipe behind it, it can crack the brass body or split the copper supply line. Leaving a garden hose connected traps water inside the bibb, which is why disconnecting hoses before the first freeze is so important. Our master plumbers repair freeze-damaged hose bibbs and the hard piping (copper and brass) behind them.

If your home has an irrigation or lawn sprinkler system, a swimming pool, a pond, or a fire suppression system, a backflow preventer is likely required by code. This device prevents contaminated water from flowing backward into your home’s potable water supply — and into the municipal water system. Our licensed plumbers install and service backflow preventers for residential properties throughout South Metro Denver.

A vacation valve is a shut-off valve installed inside your home that lets you turn off the water supply to the house while keeping your outdoor plumbing functional. This is especially useful when you travel — your lawn can still be watered while the risk of an unattended indoor leak is eliminated. Homes that don’t have a separate supply line for outdoor plumbing benefit most from a vacation valve installation.

Disconnect all garden hoses before the first freeze — a connected hose traps water inside the bibb and almost guarantees freeze damage. If your hose bibb has a separate shut-off valve inside the house, close it and open the outdoor bibb to drain the remaining water. Insulated hose bibb covers add an extra layer of protection. For homes with irrigation systems, have the system professionally blown out before winter. If you notice a hose bibb that drips or doesn’t fully shut off, get it repaired before cold weather arrives.
