The Tampa area is quite unique in many of its features, and while some of these features make Tampa such a desirable place to live, some features can have a heavy impact on plumbing and water usage. Let’s cover some of the most common drainage issues in Tampa Bay and the Tampa area.
Much of Tampa’s water is rich in mineral content, and when this type of water moves through the pipes of a resident’s home, particles begin to build up. As time passes, the mineral build-up compounds and hardens. Hardened minerals inside the pipes can slow water flow and interfere with drainage.
It’s not uncommon in the Tampa area for pests to find their way into plumbing pipes. Insects, rodents, and small reptiles or amphibians are attracted to sources of water and when exploring plumbing pipes, they have the potential to get caught in drainage systems.
In addition to being rich in mineral content, Tampa’s water is chlorinated. Chlorine, though it can be beneficial when getting rid of bacteria, can also be destructive to plumbing systems. Chlorine is corrosive, so it can speed up the process of pipe destruction in residential and commercial properties.
If you live in or around Tampa, you’re probably no stranger to plumbing problems. This is especially true for homeowners who reside in older homes.
