    Default Plumbers?.... next question on house...

    I have no water to the faucet out back of the house... I don't even know where to start....

    Help?

    I do have a sprinkler system (supposedly, I can't get it to work) and there are a lot of extra PVC pipes under the house (crawlspace). I've tried looking for valves that might turned off and traced some lines... but I'm drawing a blank.

    Walk me through some ideas... or come on over and I'll buy you a few beers or whatever your beverage tastes are.

    start from where the main line comes into the house. Tends to be near the main meter, or main line into the house.

    Rgr, I started at the street. Found the line into the yard, into the crawl space. From there is goes into a box and out of 15 million PVC pipes and when I trace those, some I can follow to end, some go where I can't reach/see... I need a webcam or something for pictures...

    BTW, laid the weed n feed for the grass today, we'll see what happens there...

    do you have a backflow valve out back, or a box in the grass? What about a controller? check where these accumulate, and they have be turned off somewhere.
