What Is a Yard Hydrant?
A yard hydrant is a frost-free outdoor water fixture commonly used on large properties and in rural areas. The hydrant connects to a buried water line below the frost line and drains itself after each use to prevent freezing. This is not only critical in extreme cold, but also in properties where water is needed far away from the home. These frost-proof hydrants have a valve that closes underground as soon as you turn off the handle to prevent frozen and burst pipes.

Jackson Plumbing offers professional yard hydrant installation in Decatur and throughout Morgan, Madison, and Limestone Counties. Our services ensure you have access to the water you need. We handle the entire process, start to finish. This includes trenching to below the frost line, tapping the municipal or well water supply, laying a gravel drain bed, and securing the hydrant to be stable. Finally, we backfill and pressure test your new frost-free hydrant to confirm there are no leaks before closing the trench.

Yard Hydrant Service FAQs
How long do yard hydrants last?
The average yard hydrant will last 20-30 years. However, this depends on many factors, including water quality, drainage quality, frequency of use, and local climate conditions.
Why does my yard hydrant keep running after I turn it off?
If the hydrant keeps flowing after you turn it off, it could have a worn plunger or a valve that isn’t fully closing. Issues like debris in the valve and drain port blockages can also affect shutoff. For a proper diagnosis, contact our team.
