🌧️ Summer Plumbing Checklist for Tampa Bay Homeowners

Stay Ahead of Storm Season with Help from Cass Plumbing

Summer in Tampa Bay means barbecues, beach days, and—unfortunately—plumbing problems. As the rainy season ramps up and humidity rises, your home’s plumbing system faces unique challenges that can lead to unexpected headaches. From clogged drains and backed-up sewers to leaky outdoor faucets and overworked water heaters, now is the time to prepare.

And when plumbing issues strike, Cass Plumbing is the name Tampa Bay trusts. With over 20 years of experience, an A+ BBB rating, and more than 1,000 5-star reviews, Cass Plumbing is the go-to plumbing company for homeowners who want fast, honest, and reliable service.

☔ Why Summer Is Tough on Plumbing in Tampa

Summer in the Tampa Bay area brings an average of 7–10 inches of rainfall per month, combined with high heat and dense humidity. These conditions can wreak havoc on plumbing systems in several ways:

  • Heavy rain can overwhelm sewer lines and storm drains, leading to backups and flooding.

  • Tree roots, fueled by summer growth, can infiltrate underground pipes.

  • Outdoor plumbing like spigots and irrigation systems are under more pressure and usage.

  • Vacation season means more guests, more water usage, and more chances for clogs.

To prevent a plumbing disaster from ruining your summer plans, it’s smart to do a summer plumbing checkup—and no one does it better than Cass Plumbing.

Why Tampa Bay Homes Need Backflow Preventers

🧰 Your Tampa Summer Plumbing Checklist

Here’s what Cass Plumbing recommends you check (or let us check for you) before summer hits full swing:

✅ 1. Inspect Outdoor Spigots and Hoses

Hot sun and shifting soil can crack spigots and weaken connections. Cass Plumbing can inspect and replace worn parts to avoid leaks that waste water and cause spikes in your bill.

✅ 2. Clear Gutters and Downspouts

Blocked gutters can lead to water pooling around your foundation, eventually leaking into pipes or flooding basements. We’ll ensure your drainage system is flowing freely.

✅ 3. Test Your Sump Pump

With Florida’s sudden storms, a working sump pump is critical. If your home has one, Cass Plumbing can test, clean, or replace it—so you’re not caught off guard during the next downpour.

✅ 4. Flush Your Water Heater

Sediment builds up quickly in Tampa’s hard water. Cass Plumbing offers water heater maintenance to flush the tank and keep your hot water flowing efficiently all season long.

✅ 5. Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection

Tampa’s storm season often means backups. Our advanced sewer camera inspections detect cracks, blockages, or root intrusion before they turn into major (and costly) problems.
