Many homes here were built in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Older homes often have old pipes. These pipes can crack or leak. Most homes in this area sit on slab floors. Slabs are flat concrete bases. Finding leaks under a slab takes special tools.
Each part of Ocoee is a little different. Homes in Arden Park, Forestbrook, and McCormick Woods each have their own needs. Houses near Starke Lake or Prairie Lake may need help fast when pipes break.
When you need a plumber Ocoee residents trust, we're here to help. We can come the same day for most homes. Call us to set up a time.
Homes Near Starke Lake Face Unique Plumbing Challenges
Homes near lakes sit on wet ground. This brings extra problems. Houses close to Starke Lake or Bill Breeze Park are near the water table. The water underground pushes up on the slab and pipes.
The soil in Central Florida is sandy. Sandy soil can shift and move. When it moves, it pulls on pipes. Small cracks can grow into big leaks.
Water heaters work harder here too. The air is very humid. That means your water heater runs longer to keep up. A tankless water heater can help. It does not work as hard and lasts longer.
Older Ocoee Homes May Need Re-Piping Before Pipes Fail
Some Ocoee homes have old gray pipes inside the walls. These are called polybutylene pipes. They were used from 1978 to 1995. Homes in Brookstone and Prairie Lake may still have them.
These gray pipes have a stamp that says PB2110. They break down when they touch chlorine. The City of Ocoee adds chlorine to the water to keep it clean. But chlorine hurts these old pipes over time.
You can look for these pipes under your sink or near your water heater. If you see gray bendy tubes, you may need new pipes. PEX and copper pipes work much better. They follow today's Florida building rules.
New pipes stop leaks before they start. This keeps your home safe from water damage.

Places to Visit in Ocoee FL
What to Expect During a Plumbing Visit in Your Ocoee Home
Not sure what happens when a plumber comes? Here is what to expect.
Some Ocoee homes are in gated areas. Arden Park is one example. Please give us your gate code when you call. This helps our worker get to you on time.
Our worker will come in a truck with our name on it. Before we start, we tell you what we plan to do. No surprises.
Most small jobs are done the same day. Fixing a drain or a faucet is usually quick. Bigger jobs like new pipes or a water heater take more time. We will set up a day that works for you.
Common Drain and Sewer Problems in Central Florida Slab Homes
Slow drains and backups happen a lot in Ocoee. Many homes sit on slab floors. The sandy ground shifts over time. This can make pipes dip and sag. Waste gets stuck in the low spots.
Big oak trees cause problems too. Areas near Vignetti Park and Tiger Minor Park have old, large trees. Tree roots grow toward water. They can crack into sewer pipes.
We use a small camera to look inside your pipes. This shows us the problem without digging. Once we find it, we can blast the pipes clean with strong water jets.
If you have a leak under your slab, we can find it. Catching slab leaks early keeps your home's base safe.
Preventing Plumbing Emergencies in Hot, Humid Florida Weather
A little care now can save you from big problems later. Here are some tips.
Summer storms bring a lot of rain. Old sewer lines can fill up too fast. Get your pipes checked before June. Fix small issues before the heavy rains come in September.
Our hot, sticky weather makes water heaters work hard. Flush your tank once a year. This clears out gunk and helps it run better.
Cold snaps are rare in Ocoee, but they happen. After a freeze, check your outdoor hose hookups. Look for cracks.
If you live near the lake or in a low area, find your main water shut-off valve. Knowing where it is can save your home if a pipe bursts.
