Common Plumbing Problems in Pine Hills Homes
Pine Hills is unincorporated, and Orange County Utilities serves unincorporated Orange County with water, sewer and reclaimed water. Its drinking water comes from the Floridan aquifer.
Not every house is on sewer. The county converted 95 parcels along a stretch of Pine Hills Road from septic tanks to county sewer, paid for with state grants, federal relief money and county funds. The median Pine Hills home was built in 1980.
Septic or Sewer?
Check the utility bill for a wastewater charge. Without one, the house has a septic tank. Slow drains throughout, gurgling toilets and wet ground over the tank mean stop using water and have it checked. With sewer, a backup at the lowest drain is a blocked line. See sewer backup.
Signs of a Failing Cast Iron Drain
- Several drains slow at the same time.
- A sewer smell inside or in the yard.
- Roaches or drain flies coming from floor drains.
- Cracked tile or a sunken strip of yard above the pipe. Ask for a sewer camera inspection.
Water Heater Replacement
Older tanks are past their expected life.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Pine Hills
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Pine Hills.
- Under-slab drains. Lining, spot repair and full replacement are priced very differently.
- Septic work. Pumping the tank is a separate job from repairing the plumbing.
- 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 Pine Hills

Check the Florida License

- For an emergency, will you stop the damage first and quote the permanent repair before starting it?
- What is your license number?
