What the customer called about
A yard hydrant behind a shop building in Skiatook, ZIP code 74070, was no longer working. We needed to replace the buried hydrant to address the failed outdoor water fixture.
What our plumber found
We found significant rust at the old hydrant’s weep hole fitting. Replacing this fixture required digging around its buried base and water connection beside the shop.
How we fixed it
We removed the old hydrant and installed a new buried yard hydrant. We added a spring check valve and connected the new hydrant to the water line.
At the base, we placed a bucket with marble gravel around the hydrant’s drainage area. We then backfilled the surrounding excavation.
What this means for your home
A yard hydrant has important parts below ground, not just a handle and spout. If yours stops working, we recommend checking the buried connection and weep hole area rather than assuming the handle is the only problem.
