Beat the Heat: Why Summer is the Best Time to Upgrade Your Outdoor Plumbing. Bear Plumbing | Serving Greene & Montgomery County
Summer is officially here in Ohio, and while most homeowners are busy planning vacations or firing up the grill, savvy property owners are thinking ahead—especially when it comes to their plumbing.
At Bear Plumbing, we see a major spike in outdoor plumbing service calls during June and July, and there’s a good reason for that. The warmer months present the ideal window to upgrade, repair, or install outdoor plumbing before cooler weather makes it harder—or more expensive.
If you've been thinking about that outdoor spigot repair, a backyard hose bib upgrade, or even a full irrigation system setup—now’s the time. Let’s explore why summer is prime time for these upgrades, what’s trending, and how you can prep your plumbing for year-round success.
Popular Summer Plumbing Services
Outdoor Spigot Repair or Replacement
Freezing temperatures over the winter often cause spigots to crack or leak. Summer is when these problems show up—often in the form of a slow drip or water pooling near your foundation. Fixing or upgrading to a frost-free spigot now can save big come winter.Hose Bib Upgrades
Newer hose bibs with anti-siphon and frost-proof features are growing in popularity, especially for those who garden or wash cars regularly. We recommend models like the Woodford Model 19 for reliability and freeze protection.Underground Water Line Repairs
Dry soil and warmer temperatures make it easier to dig and access underground lines. Whether it's a leak in your irrigation system or a busted supply line, June and July are optimal for repairs with minimal disruption to your landscaping.Outdoor Shower or Utility Sink Installation
Perfect for pool owners, dog lovers, or those who enjoy muddy weekend projects. Adding an outdoor shower or sink is a luxury that’s becoming more common—and Bear Plumbing can make it happen quickly and affordably.Yard Drainage Solutions
