Brevard county has a very unique geographical and environmental situation. Several things contribute to why plumbing systems in Florida need more frequent checking and maintenance on a regular basis.

Much of Florida has a very high water table, meaning the groundwater is relatively close to the surface. This can increase the risk of water infiltrating sewer lines and causing damage. It also makes it more likely for leaks or failures to affect plumbing systems, as the water table can put pressure on underground pipes.

Florida’s proximity to the ocean can lead to saltwater intrusion into underground water sources. Saltwater is corrosive and can accelerate the deterioration of pipes and plumbing components, leading to leaks and other issues. This gives homeowners and businesses great reason to invest in regular checks before a $50 issue becomes a $5000 plumbing issue.

Florida has a hot and humid climate for most of the year. This humidity can contribute to the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria inside plumbing systems. These growths can clog pipes, cause foul odors, and even impact water quality. If you are not looking inside your pipes daily to make sure there are no issues, you will absolutely have the chance of a problem occuring.

Florida is prone to hurricanes and tropical storms several months throughout the year, which can bring heavy rains and flooding. Flooding can overwhelm sewer systems and lead to backups and damage. It’s crucial to ensure that plumbing systems are in good condition to handle these weather events. Having a professional come out and asses what could be is always the best option until waiting after the damage is done.

Many areas in Florida have hard water, which contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, these minerals can build up inside pipes, reducing water flow and affecting plumbing efficiency. Having a technician come out to check the status of your pipes should be something you consider when you live in the Brevard county area.

Some parts of Florida have older infrastructure, including plumbing systems. Older pipes are more prone to corrosion, leaks, and blockages. Brevard county is a great example as we have some of the nicest older homes mixed in with many of the new homes. Beachfront homes have been a staple in the region for decades, and many still have very old plumbing.

Florida is a popular tourist destination with a significant seasonal population increase. This puts extra stress on plumbing systems in terms of usage and wear and tear. If you own an AirBnb or a rental property that is getting hammered during our peak tourism months, your plumbing may be getting hit harder than it can handle. Another great reason to get a check up on your plumbing.

Due to the warm climate, people often use more water for activities like swimming pools, irrigation, and cooling systems. Increased water usage can strain plumbing systems and increase the risk of problems. Calling a professional plumber at the first sign of a problem will always save you more money in the end.
