Plumbing Ideas for Your Outdoor Living Space

Do you spend more time outside than inside during the warmer months? If your outdoor living space is becoming more glamorous than the inside of your home, you are a true lover of spending time outdoors. You have the pool, patio and outdoor kitchen to make your backyard the ultimate oasis for your free time. But have you added plumbing to finish the process? Here are a few plumbing ideas to complete the ultimate outdoor living space:

  • Outdoor shower. If you have a chlorine pool, you need a shower outside to make it quick and easy to rinse off after a swim. Create a private area with cedar walls for the shower and you may want to use it every day.
  • Plumbing for your outdoor kitchen. The outdoor kitchen has become a popular asset for outdoor living areas, but many are not fully plumbed into the water system of the home. Add a fully functional sink to make cleaning up and cooking your fantastic meals a breeze.
  • Cool water features. Add a waterfall, bubbling fountain or other water feature to give your outdoor area even more pizazz. It can help cool the air while adding a visual and audio backdrop that only moving water can provide.
  • Outdoor bar. If you love serving cocktails to your guests, adding a plumbed sink and icemaker to your outdoor bar will make you the ultimate host or hostess.

Bring your indoor plumbing outdoors with the help of your local plumber. With everything you need in your backyard, you may not want to go back inside until the winter weather rolls in.

Benefits of an Outdoor Kitchen Sink

The outdoor kitchen has become one of the most popular additions to outdoor living areas. The backyard grill now has company, with many beautiful outdoor kitchen built with functional counters, cabinets, stovetops and refrigerators. But many are missing one important element: a kitchen sink. Here are some great benefits to adding a plumbed sink into your outdoor kitchen.

  • Save time. When you are grilling a great meal outdoors, you don’t have time to be running back and forth into the kitchen. A sink helps reduce those trips with water right there to help your create your fabulous meal.
  • Easy clean up. Keep that grilling mess out of your home with easy clean up at the source. Plus, you can clean pans and dishes as you go, making the final clean up faster and easier.
  • Sanitary. You want to be sanitary when you are cooking a big meal, especially for friends and family gatherings. Your outdoor kitchen sink gives you a convenient place to wash your hands with hot water while preparing your meal.
  • Douse that flame. If your grilling gets out of hand, it is always nice to have a water faucet right there to help douse that flame and save those steaks on the grill. Moderating the heat on a charcoal grill often needs a little water to help you cook low and slow.

Make your outdoor cooking experience easier and more convenient with a professionally plumbed kitchen sink. Talk to your local licensed plumbing contractor about remodeling your outdoor kitchen to incorporate a sink. Don’t forget to ask for a kitchen sink that includes a hand sprayer to make it even easier to clean those pans and grills.
