Plumbing conditions in Florida

Florida is warm and humid year-round, with a hurricane season from June through November and frequent heavy rain. A high water table and limestone geology make drainage and sinkholes local concerns.

Nearly all homes are built on concrete slabs, so slab leaks and under-slab drain problems are common, and water in much of the state is hard.

Frozen pipes are rare in most of Florida. Heat, humidity, water quality and storms cause far more plumbing problems than cold.

Common plumbing problems in Florida

Slab leaks

With so many Florida homes on concrete slabs, water lines under the floor leak quietly. Warm spots, a running meter or a rising water bill are the usual clues.

Leak detection →

Storm-season drain and sewer backups

Tropical storms and hurricanes bring heavy rain to Florida, which can overwhelm drains and back up sewer lines. Clear main lines and check valves before the season helps.

Drain cleaning →

Flooding and sewer backups

Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Florida push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.

Sewer line repair →

Hard water and scale

Hard water in much of Florida leaves scale in water heaters, tankless units and fixtures, shortening tank life and reducing efficiency. Regular flushing helps.

Water heater replacement →

Salt-air corrosion

Salt air along the Florida coast corrodes exposed metal pipes, fixtures and water heater fittings faster than inland.

Repiping →
