Winter in South Florida- Are your pipes and water heater ready?

Written By Danielle Snyder

Winter in South Florida may be mild, but occasional cold snaps can cause unexpected issues in your home—particularly with pipes and water heaters. Even a slight drop in temperature can stress older plumbing systems, leading to burst pipes or water heater leaks that result in costly water damage.

Common Signs to Watch For:

  • Water pooling around your water heater.

  • Sudden drops in water pressure.

  • Unusual noises (like banging or gurgling) in pipes.

Why It Matters:

A burst pipe or failed water heater can flood your home in minutes, causing structural damage and creating a breeding ground for mold.

Prevention Tips:

  • Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas.

  • Schedule regular maintenance for your water heater.

  • Monitor for leaks or pressure changes.
