Meet Tom and Sarah, next-door neighbors in beautiful Melrose Manors. Their homes look exactly the same from the outside – both gorgeous beachfront properties built in the same year. But this summer told two very different stories. While Sarah enjoyed peaceful beach days, Tom spent thousands fixing burst pipes and dealing with water damage. What made the difference? A simple summer plumbing check.
At Plumbing Around The Clock, we see this tale play out every summer in Melrose Manors. The tough mix of 89% humidity and salty ocean air can wreck your home’s plumbing faster than a Florida thunderstorm rolls in. But here’s the good news – you can prevent these problems with some basic maintenance.
The truth is, most homeowners don’t realize how Florida’s intense summer weather affects their pipes until it’s too late. Think about it – when was the last time you checked your outdoor faucets or looked for signs of pipe corrosion? Don’t worry if you can’t remember – you’re not alone. But today, we’re going to change that.
Living in Melrose Manors means dealing with some of the toughest weather conditions for plumbing systems. That high humidity we feel? It’s not just making us sweat – it’s also eating away at our pipes. When hot, humid air meets cooler pipes, it creates condensation. This might seem harmless, but over time, that moisture can cause metal pipes to rust and break down.
At Plumbing Around The Clock, we’ve seen perfectly good outdoor faucets turn into rusty messes in just one summer season. The salt creeps into tiny cracks and speeds up corrosion faster than you can say “beach day.” Temperature changes don’t help either. When pipes heat up during those scorching summer days and cool down at night, they expand and contract. This constant movement can weaken joints and create tiny leaks.
Don’t let summer catch you off guard. A little checking now saves big headaches later. At Plumbing Around The Clock, we’ve made this super simple checklist to help protect your Melrose Manors home. Here’s what you need to look at:
Let’s keep this really easy. You brush your teeth every day, right? Well, your plumbing needs some regular care too. At Plumbing Around The Clock, we find that homes checked monthly hardly ever end up with big emergency repairs.
Watch your water bill like a hawk. A sudden jump in water use? Something’s leaking. Walk around your house once a month and look under sinks, behind toilets, and around your water heater. Use your phone’s flashlight – it helps spot problems better than regular light.
Got a sprinkler system? Run it during the day (yes, during the day) once a month to check for broken heads or leaks. The rest of the time, keep it on its normal schedule. And those drains that work fine? Pour some water down the ones you rarely use – like the guest bathroom or laundry sink. This keeps nasty smells from creeping up.
You can handle some plumbing checks yourself, but some jobs need expert hands. Anything involving that salty air corrosion or pipe repairs? That’s definitely pro territory. At Plumbing Around The Clock, we’ve seen too many DIY fixes turn into flooding disasters.
Here’s what’s safe for you to do: check for visible leaks, keep an eye on water pressure, and listen for weird noises. But stay away from anything involving your main water line, sewer line, or water heater repairs. These jobs need special tools and know-how to fix right the first time.
Think about cost too. A regular checkup might cost $100, but waiting until your pipes burst? That could run into thousands. Plus, your insurance might not cover damage from neglected maintenance. A quick call to a licensed plumber now could save your summer vacation fund later.
Don’t wait for a plumbing emergency to ruin your summer plans. At Plumbing Around The Clock, we’re ready to help keep your Melrose Manors home safe from summer plumbing disasters. Get in touch with us:
Remember Tom and Sarah from earlier? Sarah saved over $600 in emergency repairs just by staying on top of her plumbing maintenance. Your home deserves the same care. Whether you need a quick check or have questions about your plumbing, we’re here to help protect your Melrose Manors home.
Let’s make sure your home stays on the protected side this summer. One call is all it takes to prevent those expensive emergency repairs.
