Leak Busters Plumbing specializes in the repair and replacement of aging cast iron pipes, ensuring your plumbing system is safe, reliable, and up-to-date. If you’re experiencing frequent leaks, slow drainage, or strange odors, it may be time to replace your cast iron pipes with modern materials.
Florida’s high humidity speeds up the corrosion of cast iron pipes, causing them to rust and deteriorate faster than in drier climates.
Coastal areas in Florida, including Jacksonville, have salt-rich soil that reacts with cast iron, leading to accelerated corrosion and pipe failure.
Heavy rainfall and frequent flooding expose pipes to excess moisture, worsening rust and increasing the likelihood of pipe breakage.
Florida’s shifting soil and occasional sinkholes can place additional pressure on cast iron pipes, causing cracks or collapses.
The state’s high water table keeps pipes in constant contact with water, further speeding up the deterioration process of cast iron pipes.
