Common Plumbing Problems in Lehigh Acres Homes
Most Lehigh Acres homes are not on public water. A Lee County study found that most residents are served by domestic wells and septic tanks, and the county counted 32,879 permitted septic tanks in the community.
The Florida Governmental Utility Authority runs the public system, with about 12,620 water customers supplied from 10 wells. The median Lehigh Acres home was built in 2003.
No Water on a Well
- Check the pump's breaker and reset it once.
- Look at the pressure gauge; zero means the pump is not delivering.
- A pump that short-cycles usually means a waterlogged pressure tank.
- If the breaker trips again, leave it off and call.
Septic or Plumbing?
If one fixture is slow, the clog is in that drain. If every drain is slow, toilets gurgle and the yard over the tank is wet, the septic system is the problem. Stop using water until it is checked. See sewer backup.
Well Pump and Pressure Tank Failure
No water, or a pump that clicks on and off quickly, points to the pump, switch or tank.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Lehigh Acres
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Lehigh Acres.
- Pump depth. Pulling a submersible pump from a deep well takes more labor than swapping a pressure switch.
- Septic work. Pumping the tank and repairing the drain field are separate jobs, often by separate companies.
- 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.
How to Find a Licensed Plumber in Lehigh Acres
These checks take a few minutes and prevent most bad experiences, whichever Lehigh Acres plumber you end up hiring.
Check the Florida License
Plumbing contractors in Florida are licensed by the state. Before any work starts at your Lehigh Acres home, ask for the license number and look it up with the Florida Construction Industry Licensing Board.
Confirm Who Pulls the Permit
For work that needs a permit, the plumber should pull it.
What to Ask on the Phone
- What is the arrival window?
- Is there a service, trip or after-hours fee?
- For an emergency, will you stop the damage first and quote the permanent repair before starting it?
- What is your license number?
