Common Plumbing Problems in Alafaya Homes
Alafaya is in unincorporated east Orange County, so water comes from Orange County Utilities. It is groundwater from the Floridan aquifer, treated at the Eastern Regional Water Supply Facility on Curry Ford Road.
The county says the aquifer water needs little treatment beyond aeration to remove hydrogen sulfide, then chlorine and fluoride. The median Alafaya home was built in 2002.
Rotten Egg Smell From Hot Water
Florida groundwater naturally carries hydrogen sulfide, which the county removes at the plant. If only your hot water smells like sulfur, the cause is usually a reaction inside the water heater, not the supply. A plumber can flush the tank and change the anode rod. See water heater replacement if the tank is old.
When You Rent
- Shut the water at the fixture or the main first.
- Tell the landlord or manager right away, in writing if you can.
- Ask who is calling the plumber before you book one.
- Take photos of the leak and any damage.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks installed when the house was built around 2000 are at the end of their life.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Alafaya
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Alafaya.
- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- Drain location. Clearing a main line costs more than a single sink or tub.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.

- What is your license number?
