From healthy waste disposal to good hygiene, we all depend on our home or business’s water supply. But when the plumbing fails, daily chores can become challenging. In Florida’s humidity and heat, malfunctioning showers and backed-up waste make it even more unpleasant. Here, RooterOne, of Port Saint Lucie, FL, shares some of the most common plumbing problems found in the area. 

5 Issues Common to Florida Homes & Businesses

1. Leaky Faucets

While a leaky faucet might not seem like a big deal, it wastes water and can drive up your utility bill. When leaking water pools in sinks and bathtubs, it adds more humidity to the air and could cause water or moisture damage in the kitchen or bathroom. 

2. Leaky Pipes

Sinks and tubs may catch the water from a leaky faucet, but when your pipes are leaking, it can quickly cause severe water damage, as those leaks saturate sheetrock, ceiling tiles, and flooring. Buildings that are older may have worn out plumbing that can eventually develop leaks. If you notice a suspicious water spot in your home or business, call a plumbing team right away. 

3. Running Toilets

A running toilet can cause the water bill to skyrocket and indicates an issue with the toilet’s mechanism. A plumber can troubleshoot the issue and get it running properly again in no time.

4. Toilet & Drain Clogs

When your toilet or drains are clogged, it could indicate a blockage in the pipes anywhere from the home or business to the water main. There are several potential causes for this, but the results can be frustrating and unsanitary if you try to fix it yourself. 

5. Poor Water Pressure

Low water pressure, whether isolated to one area of the home or affecting every water source, indicates a larger problem like a clog or leak in the water supply pipes.
