Between Florida\u2019s humid climate, hard water, and unpredictable storms, plumbing systems work hard year-round. Whether it\u2019s a burst pipe during a cold snap or a slow drain in the middle of summer, these problems can disrupt your home and your comfort. At Bayonet Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we\u2019ve been providing plumbing services in Orlando since 1977, and we know exactly how to diagnose, repair, and prevent the most common plumbing issues. Here are 10 problems we encounter most often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Plumber<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Dripping Outdoor Spigots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Leaky hose bibs waste water and can cause damage to exterior walls. We repair or replace worn washers and seals, ensuring your outdoor water access is ready for gardening, cleaning, and Florida\u2019s warm-weather fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Water Hammer (Noisy Pipes)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That banging sound when you shut off the water is called a water hammer. It\u2019s caused by sudden pressure changes in your pipes. We install water hammer arrestors or adjust your system to protect against damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Water Heater Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sediment buildup from Florida\u2019s hard water can cause your water heater to lose efficiency\u2014or even fail. We flush tanks, replace heating elements, and recommend high-efficiency upgrades when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Leaky Faucets and Fixtures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That steady drip isn\u2019t just irritating\u2014it\u2019s costly. Worn washers, O-rings, or corrosion are usually the cause. We replace faulty parts with durable components to stop the leak and improve water efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Running Toilets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day. Often, the flapper valve or fill mechanism is to blame. We replace these parts on-site, restoring quiet operation and conserving water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Slow or Clogged Shower Drains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hair, soap scum, and hard water buildup can slow drainage in showers and tubs. We use safe, professional-grade tools to clear clogs and restore proper flow\u2014without risking pipe damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Pipe Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From hidden pinhole leaks to major ruptures, damaged pipes can waste water and cause expensive repairs if left untreated. Our team locates leaks quickly and provides permanent solutions to protect your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Jammed Garbage Disposals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fibrous foods, grease, and utensils are common culprits for disposal jams. We safely clear blockages, reset motors, and offer usage tips to keep your disposal running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Hard Water Mineral Buildup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

High mineral content in Florida\u2019s water can leave deposits inside pipes, fixtures, and appliances. We install and maintain water softeners to protect your plumbing and improve water quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Storm-Related Plumbing Emergencies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Florida\u2019s heavy rains, tropical storms, and even hurricanes can cause sudden plumbing disasters\u2014like sewer backups, sump pump failures, or flooding from broken pipes. Our 24\/7 emergency team<\/strong> is equipped to handle urgent calls, even during extreme weather. We arrive quickly, make fast repairs, and offer guidance on preventing future storm damage to your plumbing system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
