# Outdoor Plumbing Repair in Las Vegas > Outdoor plumbing repair in Las Vegas. Hose bibs, service-line leaks between the meter and the house, outdoor kitchens and soft spots in the yard. Source: https://monkeywrenchlv.com/services/outdoor-plumbing/ A soft or green spot in a Las Vegas yard, or a jump in the water bill with nothing dripping indoors, is often a leak on the service line between the meter and the house. Add the hose bibs that crack in the heat and the outdoor-kitchen supply lines, and most of what goes wrong outside is traceable and repairable. ## What this covers - **Hose bib repair and replacement**: Fixing and replacing outdoor faucets that drip, seize or split, and adding a frost-safe bib where it helps. - **Service-line leak repair**: Tracing and repairing a leak between the water meter and the house, the kind that shows as a soft spot and a rising bill. - **Outdoor kitchen and yard supply**: Repairing supply lines to outdoor kitchens, sinks and yard fixtures. ## Detail ### Soft spot, rising bill A patch that stays damp, or a bill that climbed with nothing dripping indoors, usually means the service line. ### Hose bibs and the heat Valley sun is as hard on outdoor faucets as any freeze. A split bib wastes water and undermines the wall it sits on. ### Meter to house is yours The utility owns the line up to the meter. From the meter to the house is the homeowner's, and that is where we work. ## Common questions ### There is a soft or green spot in my yard and my bill has gone up. What is it? Usually a leak on the service line between the meter and the house. That line is buried and under constant pressure, so a failure waters the ground above it long before anything shows indoors. A patch that stays damp in a Las Vegas summer, or a bill that climbed with nothing dripping inside, is the classic pair of symptoms. ### Who is responsible for the water line, me or the utility? The utility owns the line up to the meter. From the meter to the house is the homeowner's, and that is where most service-line leaks happen and where we work. It is worth knowing before you ring the utility about a wet patch and are told it is yours. ### Why do hose bibs fail so often here? Valley sun is as hard on an outdoor faucet as a freeze is elsewhere. The bib sits in direct heat all summer, the washers and packing dry out, and it starts to drip or seize. A split bib wastes metered water continuously and soaks the wall it is mounted on, which is the part that turns a cheap fixture into an expensive repair. ### Should outdoor lines be protected in a Las Vegas winter? In the valley itself, hard freezes are brief, but exposed bibs and irrigation lines still burst in a cold snap, and the higher outlying areas like Boulder City and Pahrump get properly cold. Insulating a bib costs almost nothing next to repairing a line that split behind a wall. ### Are you licensed and insured? Yes.
