Doctor Phillips sits in Florida's humid subtropical region — a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity. That's hard on a home's plumbing: high year-round humidity that sweats and corrodes copper pipe and summer heat and moisture that strain water heaters all accelerate wear on pipes, fittings, and water heaters, so the failures we see most here are rusted water heater tanks in the muggy climate and storm-driven flooding that overwhelms sump pumps. We spec pipe, fittings, and fixtures for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.

Most Doctor Phillips homes were built around 1992, and 15% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.
