The Hurricane-Season Plumbing Checklist for Florida Homes
Ten minutes before the storm saves thousands after it. Run this list when a watch turns into a warning:
- Find and test your main shutoff now — not by flashlight at 2 a.m.
- Fill the tubs for flushing water if service is interrupted.
- Strap or check the water heater and know where its valve and breaker are.
- Clear yard drains and gutters — most “flooding” calls are really blockage calls.
- Backflow check if you’re low-lying: storm surge in a compromised sewer lateral is the worst houseguest.
After the storm: if the water heater took on floodwater, don’t relight it — call first. Same for any gas smell.
