Plumbing Services in Pinecrest, FL

Bluewater Plumbing Co. works in Pinecrest, FL, and we are a Florida state-certified plumbing contractor. This page covers the plumbing conditions that come with Pinecrest's older ranch houses and the limestone ground they sit on.

Ranch houses from the 1950s and 1960s

During the 1950s and 1960s Pinecrest filled up with ranch-style houses set on one-acre lots. Many of those homes still run on their first set of pipes. Salt air and hard water are rough on Miami plumbing, and we see a lot of corroded fittings and aging cast-iron drain lines in older homes. A house from that era is a good candidate for a sewer camera inspection to check the drain lines before a slow drain turns into a buried-pipe repair.

Limestone ground under the village

Pinecrest Gardens shows the area's bare limestone up close, with natural streams, sinkholes, caves and fissures. The whole village sits on this kind of rock, only about seven feet above sea level. Ground like that drains fast in some spots and shifts in others, which puts stress on buried sewer lines and laterals. When an old line cracks down there, a camera is the way to see it, and we also handle drain and sewer line work.

Big lots and mature trees

Pinecrest holds onto a lushly landscaped, rural feel, with large lots and old trees. Roots from mature trees go looking for water and can push into sewer laterals at the joints. That shows up as repeat clogs and slow drains in older Pinecrest homes. Backflow testing and sewer camera work are available when an aging line needs a closer look.

If you own an older home in Pinecrest, a check of the drain and supply lines is a smart move. Reach out to Bluewater Plumbing Co. to set up a visit.
