When you think about plumbing projects, you probably think about indoor plumbing options. The truth is, there are many outdoor plumbing projects to consider. These outdoor projects can help upgrade your home value. They can also help to upgrade your outdoor living and lifestyle. Here are a few of those projects that your plumber can help you with and what you need to know about each project.
Outdoor Shower
One of the more common upgrades that can step up your outdoor living is an outdoor shower. Instead of having a simple shower head and plumbing installed, consider upgrading it even more. You can have a fully enclosed outdoor shower with a tankless water heater system, drain and cover for bad weather. These showers can be ideal for cleaning up after yard work, showering after the pool or simply having some natural outdoor time while you shower. It can be relaxing and can be ideal for guests that may want to shower and change clothes after the pool without tracking water into your home.
Outdoor Washing Station
There are several benefits to an outdoor washing station. These washing stations are usually a sink that you can use to clean your hands, wash vegetables, wash foods as you prepare them for the grill or clean up from a grilling party. The washing stations can be designed to be full sinks with water runoff that runs into your current septic or sewer system. If you would like a further upgrade, you can have the water used in these washing stations come from rainwater catches and delivered by plumbing systems created and installed by your plumber. The water can also be sent to a greywater system after use to use once more in your garden.
Outdoor Covered Spa
One outdoor plumbing upgrade that has many benefits is an outdoor covered spa. The spa usually consists of a whirlpool or bath that is enclosed with a cover and possibly on the sides with a screened in area or retractable mesh privacy screens. The tub can be connected to an outdoor tankless hot water system or its own water source. This upgrade gives an outdoor spa bath experience that can be used year-round if the enclosure is designed properly. It can also be a small getaway and relaxation spot without having to go into town to a traditional spa.
When you are ready to have some of these projects come to life in your outdoor living space, contact your plumber.

They can also answer questions about pricing, alternative materials and specialty plumbing questions related to your design plans.
