Plumbing conditions in Florida
Florida has hot and humid year-round, with a June-to-November hurricane season. Mostly slab-on-grade concrete block homes; many built from the 1950s to 1980s have cast-iron drains under the slab that are now failing.
Freezing weather is rare in Florida, so the main plumbing stresses are heat, water chemistry and ground movement rather than frozen pipes.
Much of Florida has hard water. Scale builds up in water heaters and fixtures over time, which shows up as popping noises in the tank, weak shower flow and crusty aerators.
Common plumbing problems in Florida
- Hard-water scale in water heaters and fixtures
- Hurricanes and storm surge
- Tropical downpours and flash flooding
- Mold growth from high humidity
- Aging drain and sewer lines in older neighborhoods

Cities we serve in Florida
Each city page covers local conditions. Towns without a page are served too.
Miami, FL
Miami-Dade County
Miami faces hurricanes, king-tide flooding and year-round humidity, and many 1950s to 1970s homes have cast-iron drains under the slab that are cracking.
Tampa, FL
Hillsborough County
Tampa Bay is highly exposed to storm surge, and older neighborhoods like Seminole Heights have original cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines.
Orlando, FL
Orange County
Orlando's afternoon summer storms dump heavy rain quickly, and its hard, mineral-rich water is tough on water heaters and fixtures.
Jacksonville, FL
Duval County
Jacksonville covers a huge area along the St. Johns River, with flood-prone low areas and many 1960s and 1970s slab homes with cast-iron drains.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Broward County
Fort Lauderdale's canals and low elevation make tidal and storm flooding common, and the city's older sewer mains have seen high-profile breaks.
Tallahassee, FL
Leon County
Tallahassee has more trees and rolling hills than most of Florida, so root intrusion into sewer lines and heavy tropical rain are frequent problems.
St. Petersburg, FL
Pinellas County
St. Petersburg sits on a peninsula exposed to Gulf storm surge, and many of its 1920s to 1950s homes have original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing.
Cape Coral, FL
Lee County
Cape Coral's many canal-front homes and low elevation mean high storm-surge exposure, and a lot of homes use well water for irrigation.
