Residential Outdoor Plumbing

Stephens’ trained professionals are your outdoor plumbing experts. With decades of hands-on experience in Huntington Beach, South Bay, and beyond, our team handles everything from hose bibb replacements to slab leak repairs with precision and care. Whether it’s a minor leak or a major underground issue, we’ve seen it all — and we know how to fix it quickly and affordably.

Common Outdoor Plumbing Problems We Solve

Outdoor plumbing systems face unique challenges due to weather, soil conditions, and exposure to the elements. Our technicians routinely diagnose and repair issues such as:

  • Leaking or broken hose bibbs (spigots)
  • Malfunctioning sprinkler valves and irrigation systems
  • Clogged or damaged outdoor drains
  • Outdoor sink leaks, installations, or replacements
  • Slab leaks beneath concrete foundations
  • Backflow prevention issues affecting water safety
  • Sewer line blockages or root intrusion

No matter the size of the outdoor plumbing problem, Stephens delivers proven solutions designed to last.

What Does an Outdoor Plumber Do?

An outdoor plumber specializes in the water lines, fixtures, and systems located outside your home or business. Unlike standard indoor plumbing, outdoor systems are often exposed to harsher conditions — from soil shifts that cause slab leaks to irrigation lines that develop clogs or cracks.

Our outdoor plumbing team:

  • Installs and repairs hose bibbs, sinks, and outdoor faucets
  • Diagnoses and replaces irrigation and sprinkler system valves
  • Detects and repairs underground leaks and slab leaks
  • Installs and maintains backflow prevention devices
  • Clears and repairs outdoor drains and sewer lines

When you choose Stephens, you’re hiring licensed, insured professionals with over 30 years of local expertise in tackling the toughest outdoor plumbing challenges.

Hose Bibb Replacement & Installation

Your hose bibb is the faucet found on the exterior of your house where garden hoses are often connected. Unfortunately, these parts can leak and cause frustration for any homeowner.

While some people think fixing hose bibb issues is easy and try to DIY it, the reality is that experts should handle it. Sometimes piping behind the faucet must be worked on as well.

Stephens’ trained outdoor plumbers will assess the situation and replace or install a new hose bibb as needed. Count on us to do quality work at affordable prices.

Expert Sprinkler System Repair & Valve Replacement

A healthy lawn or garden relies on a properly functioning sprinkler system. When valves fail, you may notice:

  • Low water pressure in your irrigation system or even inside your home
  • Sprinkler heads spraying weakly or unevenly
  • Pooled water or soggy patches in your yard, signaling underground leaks

At Stephens, we specialize in comprehensive sprinkler valve repair and replacement. Our technicians quickly diagnose the issue, repair or install new valves, and ensure your irrigation system is working efficiently. We’ll guide you through the entire process, from inspection to final testing. Call Stephens to get sprinkler valves replaced in no time.

Outdoor Sink Replacement & Installation

At Stephens, we have decades of experience replacing and installing sinks of all kinds, and our services extend to your outdoor sink as well.

Outdoor sinks can have issues with buildup and leaks, just like indoor sinks. Leave it to our experts to be able to recommend the right solution for your home and outdoor sink setup.

Don’t try to DIY your outdoor sink replacement or installation! Improper setup of outdoor sinks can lead to more problems down the road. Call Stephens to avoid this completely.

Slab Leak Detection, Repair & Replacement

If you have a leak that stems from the pipes beneath your concrete floor, we’re here to help. Stephens’ trained technicians have years of experience with slab leak repair services.

We offer slab leak detection and different types of slab leak repair depending on your home. Contact us to take away the stress of finding and fixing difficult leaks beneath your flooring.

Common symptoms of slab leaks include:

  • The sound of running water when pipes aren’t in use
  • Unexplained high water bills
  • Moisture, mildew, or hot spots on floors
  • Cracks in flooring or walls

Outdoor Drain & Sewer Services

A clogged or broken outdoor drain can lead to standing water, flooding, or even foundation damage. Stephens offers:

  • Outdoor drain cleaning and hydro jetting
  • Sewer line inspections with video camera technology
  • Root intrusion removal and pipe repairs
  • Complete sewer line replacement if needed

We ensure your drainage and sewer systems flow freely, protecting your home and yard from costly water damage.

Backflow Prevent Services

Backflow occurs when contaminated water flows backward into your clean water supply, posing serious health risks. Our certified plumbers provide:

  • Backflow device installation
  • Annual testing and inspections (required by many cities)
  • Repairs and replacements when devices fail

By staying proactive with backflow prevention, you’ll keep your home and family safe.

Outdoor Plumbing FAQs

What are the common signs that a hose bibb needs replacement?

Look for dripping water even when the faucet is turned off, rust or corrosion on the fixture, low water pressure from connected hoses, or water pooling around the foundation near the bibb.

How can a homeowner prevent outdoor plumbing issues?

Routine maintenance is key. Inspect hose bibbs for leaks, flush sprinkler systems before each season, keep outdoor drains clear of debris, and schedule annual plumbing inspections with Stephens to catch small issues before they become costly repairs.

Do I need a special plumber for sprinkler systems?

Yes, it's best to hire a plumber with specific experience in irrigation and sprinkler system repair. They understand the complexities of valves, heads, controllers, and underground lines, ensuring a correct and efficient diagnosis and repair that a general plumber might miss.

Real Reviews From Happy Customers

Reviews-LeftQuote

I worked with several contractors to diagnose and fix my AC Pro mini split units. Hundreds of dollars later and hours of frustration baking in the heat because of a non-working AC, Stephens was able to properly diagnose and fix my AC within days of calling them. Oscar, Omar, and Pancho are the best technicians with a wealth of knowledge. I called them for several different issues, and they have always been reliable, consistent, professional, friendly, and good at what they do! I know if I have a problem with my AC they'll get the job done. I am hard to please and id give them 10 stars if I could. Thank you Stephens Plumbing for doing an A++++ job!
