Local plumbing issues in St. Petersburg
Storm surge and flooding
Low-lying neighborhoods flood during hurricanes and heavy rain.
Older cast iron
Cast-iron drains in mid-century homes crack and corrode.
Reclaimed water systems
Many homes use reclaimed water for irrigation, which requires backflow protection.
Septic and sewer
Some older areas were on septic before connecting to sewer, and old laterals can be mixed materials.
Water heaters in garages
Garage water heaters in hot, humid conditions corrode faster and need relief lines and pans.
Hurricane-ready plumbing
After recent storms, many owners have added backwater valves and moved equipment off garage floors.
Reclaimed water lines
St. Petersburg's reclaimed water system is one of the oldest in the country, and homes that use it for irrigation need backflow protection and separate, clearly marked piping.
