Your home’s plumbing doesn’t stop at the interior walls. Outdoor plumbing — hose bibs, irrigation connections, outdoor kitchen water supply, and pool/spa plumbing — is just as important to maintain. Davis Plumbing and Heating Inc. handles all outdoor plumbing needs for Riverside County homeowners in Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Perris, and surrounding communities.
Hose Bib Repair and Replacement
The hose bib (outdoor faucet/spigot) is one of the most used and most neglected outdoor plumbing components. Common problems:
- Leaking from the handle or packing nut — The packing nut can usually be tightened or the packing replaced without full valve replacement.
- Leaking from the spout when off — The seat washer is worn. Replacement restores a tight shutoff.
- Frost-cracked hose bib body — Riverside County does have cold enough winters to occasionally freeze exposed hose bibs. A “freezeproof” or “frost-free” sillcock eliminates this risk — they shut off inside the warmer wall and drain the exterior tube.
- Anti-siphon/vacuum breaker failure — Required by California plumbing code to prevent irrigation water from back-siphoning into the potable water supply. Davis Plumbing installs and repairs anti-siphon hose bibs throughout the county.
Outdoor Kitchen Plumbing
Outdoor kitchens have become enormously popular in Riverside County’s warm climate. Adding a sink, ice maker, or beverage dispenser to your outdoor kitchen requires running water supply lines and drain lines. Davis Plumbing installs outdoor kitchen plumbing including:
- Water supply lines (hot and cold) to outdoor sinks
- Drain line connections to sewer or a dry well (depending on local code)
- Gas line connections for outdoor burners and grills (separate from water plumbing)
Irrigation System Main Valve and Backflow Preventer
The connection between your irrigation system and your home’s main water supply requires a backflow prevention device (RPZ valve or anti-siphon valve) to protect your potable water from irrigation system contamination. These devices are required by code and must be tested annually by a licensed tester in many Riverside County jurisdictions. Davis Plumbing installs and services backflow prevention assemblies.
Outdoor Spigot for Pool or Spa Fill
Many Riverside County homeowners want a dedicated fill connection near their pool or spa for topping off evaporation. Davis Plumbing installs dedicated outdoor supply lines and anti-siphon valves for pool filling stations.
