some free advice...
If you have a county sewer tap clean-out and it is clogged (usually located near the street), call your municipal sewer authority and they should solve the problem for you for free!
Think you have a Sewer clog?
2. Skip the chemicals: Please avoid pouring liquid chemical drain openers down the line. They rarely clear main line tree roots or heavy clogs, they can damage older pipes, and they leave a hazardous acid pool that puts your plumber at risk. Always let us know if you’ve already used them!
3. Check the street tap: If you have a municipal or county sewer tap clean-out near the street line and it is overflowing, call your local water/sewer utility first. If the blockage is on their side, they will often clear it for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, especially for homes with crawl spaces, but with one major consideration: they only protect the valve itself, not the pipes leading to it. If the ambient air in your crawl space drops below freezing, the supply lines can still burst.
For homes built on a concrete slab, standard frost-proof hose bibs are usually too long to install. Because a slab home’s exterior walls are typically only 4 to 6 inches thick, there isn’t enough depth to house the long stem of a frost-proof valve without it poking out into your actual living space.
Yes, they are actually required by modern plumbing codes. While they can be a bit annoying—like when they spray you with water when you turn off the spigot with a hose attached—they serve a critical safety purpose. They prevent contaminated water (like puddle water, fertilizer, or lawn chemicals) from being siphoned backward into your home’s clean drinking water supply if there is a sudden drop in water pressure.
A quick warning: If you attempt to remove a stuck or locking vacuum breaker, please be incredibly careful. They are often secured with a break-away set screw. Forcing it can permanently destroy the threads on your outdoor spigot, turning a simple fix into a mandatory spigot replacement.
