What affects plumbing in Florida
Water
Most of the state draws hard, mineral-rich water from the Floridan aquifer, and well water often smells of sulfur.
Homes and pipes
Nearly all homes are slab-on-grade, and houses built before about 1975 often have cast iron drain lines under the slab that are now corroding.
Common problems
- Failing cast iron drains under slabs
- Slab leaks in copper supply lines
- Hard water scale and sulfur odor
