If you’ve lived in Northwest Ohio long, you know how unpredictable the seasons can be. Local homeowners often run into issues like:
Frozen spigots in winter – one unprotected faucet can burst and flood a basement when temperatures drop below freezing.
Limited water access – older homes may have just one outdoor spigot, usually inconveniently located.
Outdoor lifestyle upgrades – pools, spas, and outdoor kitchens are more common than ever, and each requires reliable plumbing.
Having safe, well-placed, and code-compliant plumbing outside doesn’t just make life more convenient—it protects your home from damage and makes your yard far more usable year-round.
A handyman might be able to install a faucet, but outdoor plumbing done the wrong way can leave you with leaks, water pressure issues, or even contaminated drinking water. Here’s what sets Tin Man apart:
Code Compliance & Backflow Protection
Every new connection to your home’s water system needs proper safeguards to keep dirty water from flowing back in. We install backflow preventers and frost-proof spigots that meet local code and protect your health.
Right-Sized Water Lines & Pressure Balancing
Adding sprinklers, outdoor sinks, or multiple hose bibs can overwhelm older pipes. We make sure your water lines are properly sized and pressure is balanced so you don’t deal with weak flow or sudden drops indoors.
Winter-Proof Solutions
Freeze damage is one of the biggest threats to outdoor plumbing in Bowling Green. We install frost-proof hose bibs, insulate exposed pipes, and add shut-off valves so you can easily drain lines before winter.
Licensed, Insured, and Trusted
Our plumbers are fully licensed and insured, with over 35 years serving Northwest Ohio. You can trust us to do the work safely, legally, and with long-lasting results.
We handle everything from simple repairs to complete backyard plumbing makeovers. Some of our most requested services include:
No more dragging a garden hose around the house. We add new hose connections exactly where you need them—front, back, or side of your home. Frost-proof options available to prevent winter damage.
Perfect for grilling stations, patios, or gardening areas. We can install both cold- and hot-water outdoor faucets, or even a full sink setup so cleanup is quick and easy.
We connect your irrigation system directly to your water line with proper backflow prevention. Seasonal shut-off valves and drainage systems protect your yard plumbing year after year.
If you’re dealing with pooling water or soggy patches in your yard, we can install or repair outdoor drains to move water away from your foundation and keep your landscaping healthy.

Northwest Ohio’s climate swings from freezing winters to humid summers, and those extremes can be tough on outdoor plumbing. Taking a few proactive steps each season not only protects your pipes but also saves you from costly repairs. Here’s how to keep your outdoor systems in top shape year-round:
Before Winter: Protect Against Freezing
As temperatures dip below freezing, any water left in outdoor lines can expand and burst the pipes. Before the first hard frost, shut off water to exterior spigots, open the faucet to drain excess water, and disconnect hoses. For extra peace of mind, ask our plumbers to install frost-proof spigots or insulated hose bib covers, which provide added protection against Ohio’s harsh winters.
Spring: Inspect for Winter Damage
Once the thaw sets in, it’s time to check your outdoor plumbing for cracks, leaks, or frost damage. Pay special attention to hose bibs and irrigation connections—these are common failure points after a cold snap. Turn the water back on slowly and look for any drips or signs of water pressure loss, which may indicate a hidden leak underground.
Summer: Maximize Outdoor Water Use
Summer is when outdoor plumbing works hardest. Whether it’s watering gardens, running sprinklers, or filling pools, your system is under constant demand. To avoid pressure drops indoors, we can help you balance your water supply with properly sized lines or dedicated outdoor hookups. For homeowners with irrigation systems, scheduling mid-summer maintenance ensures sprinklers are adjusted correctly and not wasting water through overspray or leaks.
Fall: Prepare for the Cycle Again
As leaves fall and temperatures cool, it’s time to get ready for another freeze. Shut off and drain irrigation systems, disconnect hoses, and schedule a plumber to blow out sprinkler lines if you have a larger system. Fall is also a great time to add new shut-off valves, backflow preventers, or insulation if you struggled with frozen plumbing in past winters.
By following these steps—or scheduling Tin Man for an annual outdoor plumbing inspection—you extend the life of your fixtures and keep your home protected year-round.
