Hose Bib & Outdoor Plumbing Jacksonville, FL
RiverCity Plumbing provides hose bib and outdoor plumbing services in Jacksonville, FL, including hose bib replacement, frost-free valve installation, irrigation hookups, and outdoor kitchen water connections. Jacksonville's occasional hard freeze events damage standard hose bibs — frost-free models with a 6–8 inch freeze depth protect against the area's periodic below-freezing temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my hose bib keep leaking in Jacksonville?
Outdoor faucets in Jacksonville fail for two primary reasons: UV exposure degrades rubber washers and packing material much faster than in northern climates, and the constant UV + salt air near the coast corrodes internal metal components. We install anti-siphon hose bibs with replaceable packing for longer service life.
What is an anti-siphon hose bib and why do I need one?
An anti-siphon (or vacuum breaker) hose bib prevents contaminated water from a garden hose — like water sitting in a hose on the lawn — from being siphoned back into your home's drinking water supply. Florida plumbing code requires anti-siphon devices on all outdoor hose connections.
Do I need a permit to install an outdoor shower in Jacksonville?
Outdoor showers that connect to the home's water supply and drain to the sewer typically require a plumbing permit in Duval County. We handle the permit application, installation, and inspection coordination as part of our outdoor shower service.
Can you add a second hose bib on the other side of my house?
Yes. We run a new supply line from your interior plumbing to any exterior location, install a properly sized anti-siphon hose bib with a dedicated shutoff valve inside, and weatherproof the penetration. Most jobs are completed in a single visit.
