Signs You Have an Outdoor Plumbing Problem

You may not be aware of an outdoor leak or issue until it becomes more critical. Unlike indoor plumbing, small drips or leaks can soak into the ground. If you don’t check the area frequently, it could go unnoticed. If ignored, it only gets worse.

Some signs of possible outdoor water leaking you may want to look for are:

• Unexplained increases in your water bill. If your regular water bill fluctuates by more than $10-$15 a month, and you haven’t hosted a lot of guests, it’s a sign of a water leak somewhere.
• Muddy areas or puddles in the yard. If it hasn’t rained a lot lately, but you have puddles or soggy spots, there’s probably a leak nearby.
• You hear water running. Check your water appliances indoors first. If they aren’t leaking, it must be outside.
• Overgrowth in certain areas of the lawn. Those areas are getting extra water from somewhere. It could be the sprinkler system, faucets, or hose bibs.
• Cracks in the foundation. Water will eventually seep into the foundation, causing it to crack. This is a serious problem that can cause much damage.
• Moisture on walls. Your water pipes and lines transport water from outside into your home. If there are any leaks in the piping, they will emit moisture, which will accumulate on the walls outside and inside.

Often, it’s difficult to track the source of the water leak yourself. Simply Green Plumbing has sophisticated leak detection tools to trace the water leaks. Once we find the source, we will present the results to you with a plan of action on remediating the problem.

Recent Outdoor Plumbing Jobs

Los Gatos, August 2026: a water bill that jumped from about $200 to $2,500 a month

The home sits empty for long stretches, and the loss showed up during the evening sprinkler window. Two of our plumbers ran each of the 15 irrigation zones one at a time while reading the live flow rate at the meter, and listened at the valves with a geophone. Zones 3 and 12 used far more water than their sprinkler heads should, which points to a break in the pipe past the valve. The next step, capping the heads on those two zones and watching the meter, does not need a licensed plumber, so we suggested the homeowner’s gardener do it at landscaping rates. San Jose Water has a leak adjustment process, and the zone-by-zone readings document the loss.

Los Gatos, May 2025: a corroded line to the hose bib and sprinklers

A branch line outside the kitchen window that fed a hose bib and the sprinkler valves had been added by someone else in galvanized pipe, and it was corroded and leaking near the foundation. We rerouted it in Type L copper under the house with a check valve, an isolation valve and a new hose bib with a vacuum breaker, strapped the piping under the floor, and sealed the wall opening so rodents cannot use it.

Saratoga, June 2026: seven leaking hose bibs

All seven outdoor faucets leaked. We checked the water pressure first, since high pressure is a common cause. It was 60 PSI, well within range, so the faucets themselves were simply worn out. We replaced them with quarter-turn hose bibs with wing handles that are easy to turn, then tested every fixture inside and out, because work on older galvanized pipes can shake debris loose.
