Miami Lakes, FL Plumbing Services

Bluewater Plumbing Co. serves Miami Lakes, FL, and the team is licensed and insured. What follows is the plumbing picture tied to how Miami Lakes was built and the water that runs through it.

A town built starting in 1962

Miami Lakes was developed beginning in 1962 by the Graham Companies as an early planned community with curving, tree-shaded streets. That means the oldest homes here have been on the same pipes for decades. 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 sewer camera inspection is a clear way to learn what shape those original lines are in.

Built around man-made lakes

Miami Lakes is named for its many curving lakes, and water covers close to seven percent of the town. The land sits only about seven feet above sea level, so the water table stays high. A high water table can seep into cracked sewer lines and slow how the ground takes drainage. Older buried pipes near the lakes are worth checking with a camera before small leaks grow.

Heavy wet-season rain

Miami Lakes sits in a tropical rainforest climate, the only zone like it in the lower 48 states, with heavy rain through the wet season. Hard rain pushes a lot of water into yard drains and sewer lines fast. When the system backs up, a clean-out or a camera check tells you where the trouble is. Backflow testing is available for homes that need it.

Whether your Miami Lakes home dates to the early build years or sits near one of the lakes, the pipes are worth a look. Contact Bluewater Plumbing Co. to schedule.
