That’s why slab leak repair should never be treated like a DIY project or a bargain-bin service call. It requires licensed plumbing professionals who understand pressure systems, proper repair methods, Florida building standards, and—most importantly...

Why tanks crack, pop, and fail during freezing nights—and what Cass Plumbing wants you to do *before* that cold snap hits. In Tampa, winter has a funny sense of humor.
