The waterfront and water-access character of Severna Park’s most distinctive communities creates a specific set of outdoor plumbing needs that most suburban plumbing companies don’t encounter regularly. Properties in Round Bay, Ben Oaks, Linstead on the Severn, Cape Arthur, Chartwell waterfront sections, and along Governor Ritchie Highway frequently require:
Outdoor Kitchen Gas Lines
For related service information, see gas line installation for outdoor kitchens — licensed gas fitter.
Built-in grills, side burners, pizza ovens, and patio heaters all require dedicated gas lines run from the main supply, properly sized for the total BTU load, with accessible shutoff valves and approved fittings for outdoor use. This is licensed gas fitter work — we hold the Maryland gas fitter certification required.
Whole-House Generator Gas Connections
For related service information, see backflow prevention testing for irrigation connections.
Standby generators provide protection against the power outages that frequently accompany the spring storms that raise groundwater in Severna Park’s waterfront communities. The gas line to a generator is sized for the unit’s BTU demand and connected with a proper outdoor shutoff.
Pool Heater Gas Lines
Gas pool heaters extend the swim season significantly in Anne Arundel County’s climate. A dedicated gas line sized for the heater’s BTU rating is required.
Hose Bib Installation & Winterization
Frost-proof hose bibs at multiple locations around the property require proper installation and annual confirmation that garden hoses are disconnected before the first freeze.
Irrigation System Plumbing
The backflow preventer connection at the irrigation system supply line requires a licensed plumber for installation and a certified tester for annual Anne Arundel County required testing.
Outdoor Shower Connections
Common on waterfront properties near the Severn and Magothy Rivers, outdoor shower installations require a supply line run with a proper shutoff and, in many cases, a drain connection.
Winterizing Outdoor Plumbing in Severna Park
Every fall, Severna Park waterfront homeowners should confirm:
- ✓ All garden hoses are disconnected from outdoor hose bibs
- ✓ Interior shutoff valves for outdoor hose bibs (most frost-proof models have one inside the wall) are closed and the bib is opened to drain
- ✓ Outdoor kitchen gas line shutoffs are accessible and operating correctly
- ✓ Irrigation system blowout is scheduled before the first freeze (compressed air purge of the irrigation lines)
- ✓ Pool heater gas supply is properly shut down for the season if the pool is being closed
Prevent Frozen Pipes
Failing to disconnect hoses from frost-proof hose bibs is the most common cause of outdoor pipe freeze in Severna Park — the hose prevents drainage and the frost-proof mechanism can’t protect the pipe.
