Ready for South Florida’s fall? Let’s talk plumbing! Why? Because a change in season is the perfect time to keep your pipes and fixtures happy—and avoid those costly disasters right when you want to kick back.

Inspect for Leaks

Don’t just glance—get hands-on! Look underneath sinks, behind toilets, around water heaters, and at all hose bibs and shut-off valves. Slide your hand along pipes. Feel for moisture, rust, or discoloration. Why? Even pinhole leaks can waste thousands of gallons yearly and attract pests.

Test Water Pressure

Run every faucet, shower, and outdoor spigot. Is pressure weak or crazy strong? Attach a water pressure gauge to an outdoor tap. Ideal range: 40–60 psi. Too high stresses your pipes. Too low? You might have sediment, corrosion, or a sneaky leak in the system.

Flush Your Water Heater

South Florida’s hard water = rapid calcium buildup. Drain a few gallons from the heater into a bucket—if water runs cloudy, flush the full tank. This keeps heaters working efficiently and helps prevent clogs and premature tank failure.

Clean Drains & Gutters

Don’t stop at kitchen or bath drains. Snake out shower/tub drains, check garage and patio floor drains, clear all outdoor gutters and downspouts. Clogged gutter? Water spills against your foundation, risking mold and structural damage.

Check Outdoor Pipe & Hose Damage

Summer UV and hurricane weather beat up exposed pipes. Inspect garden hoses, bibbs, sprinkler lines, and pool plumbing for cracks, bulges, or green buildup. Replace before a surprise winter burst.

Test Sump Pump & Backflow Valve

Pour water directly into your sump pit—does the pump kick on instantly? Check discharge pipes for blockages. Inspect your backflow valve for smooth operation—dirty water should never enter your home.

Inspect Toilets for Running or Phantom Flush

Listen for running water after you flush. Watch for ‘phantom’ fills. Lift the tank lid—replace tired flappers or wonky fill valves. These simple fixes slash your monthly water bill.

Check Washing Machine Hoses

Old rubber hoses are a flood waiting to happen. Feel for stiffness, cracks, or rust on connections. Swap to braided stainless steel hoses—they’re tougher than Florida storms!

Look for Signs of Mold or Mildew

Take a deep breath—do you smell musty odors in bathrooms, closets, or near water fixtures? Check walls, ceilings, and under cabinets for discoloration or soft spots. Mold means hidden leaks. Act before it spreads!

Schedule a Pro Inspection

Don’t leave safety to chance. Booking a full plumbing check—especially if you’ve got an older home or post-storm damage—is your insurance against surprise repairs. Professionals catch what you can’t!
