Common Plumbing Problems in Bradenton Homes
Bradenton's main water source is the Bill Evers Reservoir on the Braden River, about 6.5 miles from downtown, blended with water from aquifer storage and recovery wells.
The city treats the reservoir water with carbon for taste and odor, settling, filtration and chloramines, and adds a corrosion inhibitor. The median Bradenton home was built in 1983.
Earthy Taste From Reservoir Water
Bradenton's water starts in a reservoir, so in warm months it can pick up earthy tastes and smells that the plant treats with activated carbon. A change in taste at every faucet is usually the supply. If only the hot water smells, the water heater's anode rod or sediment is the likely cause.
Before Hurricane Season
- Know where your main shutoff and sewer cleanout are.
- If drains back up during a storm, stop using water until it passes.
- After flooding, have a plumber check the water heater before using it.
- If backups repeat, a sewer camera inspection shows whether the line is damaged.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks in garages and closets fail with age and humidity.
