Stay Vigilant

While in the winter in Florida we do not have to worry about freezing pipes we do still need to worry about things going on in our pipes that we cannot see. The water in Florida is incredible hard and can erode your pipes and fixtures much faster if you do not have a treatment system in place. 

Many towns in Florida use chlorine which make it acceptable per standards to drink but not very pretty looking or home friendly. 

The hard water affecting your pipes could be under your sink, behind your washing machine or completely unseen behind your shower wall. It is important to look at the adjoining walls and make sure there isn't any water spots or growth happening because there is a pipe eroding and leaking behind that wall. 

As with all homeownership it is important to stay vigilant and make sure your home is always running in tip top shape!
