How We Connect Your Exterior Faucet

We search first in basements and crawl spaces under homes. We look for both cold and hot water pipes. If you are only looking for watering plants then cold water will do, but if you’ll use it for cleaning your car or others, then you might want both hot and cold. We will need to know what you intend with the new water outlets or whether you will be working in the garden, watering plants, washing cars or washing up after yard work. If your intended area of need is some distance from your home, then trenching and laying the pipe might be required.

No matter where your work area is located, however, it’s best if we can install a shut off valve inside the home to make winterizing easier. By turning off the valve inside the home and opening the faucets on the exterior of the home, water can be drained thereby eliminating most of your freezing worries. If a turn-off valve is not used, then we recommend frost-free outdoor faucets (also called a sillcock) for each exterior faucet.

Benefits of Having an Outdoor Faucet

Have you ever had to carry buckets of water from your shower or bathtub outside to wash the car? Have you ever been working in the yard and thought how much nicer it would be to clean yourself up a little bit before tracking much of the backyard into your home? Exterior faucets can make life easier for you. We take precautions both during installation and afterward to complete caulking and insulation steps to keep cold air from seeping into your home.

Here are some of the benefits of exterior faucet installation in Tacoma:

• You won’t need extra-long garden hoses and connections
• You can use hot water to clean your car, mower, or windows without using a bucket brigade
• You can set up a drip system for your vegetable and flowers
• You could lay the groundwork for an in-the-ground sprinkler system
• You could connect water to a greenhouse
• You could provide cold or hot water to a travel trailer or camper
