Florida’s heat, humidity, and unique water conditions cause specific plumbing issues that homeowners often overlook—until it’s too late. Understanding these problems and taking proactive steps can save you thousands in future repairs.
Most Frequent Plumbing Issues
- Slab Leaks: Soil shifting and pressure changes can crack underground pipes.
- Pipe Corrosion: Florida’s hard water and minerals wear down older metal pipes.
- Drain Clogs: Humidity, sand, and grease build up faster in southern climates.
- Water Heater Damage: Sediment buildup shortens lifespan and efficiency.
How to Prevent Plumbing Damage
- Install a water softener to reduce corrosion.
- Flush your water heater every six months to remove sediment.
- Schedule annual plumbing inspections with Shamrock Restoration.
- Use drain strainers to prevent debris buildup in sinks and showers.
