It is no secret to a Sanibel plumber that most of the water damage that occurs in Sanibel Island homes is due to plumbing leaks rather than tropical storms or hurricanes; even though this barrier island is on the "front line" so to speak. Sanibel plumbing issues are numerous; these include toilet tanks with cracks and leaky seals, corrosion of copper plumbing, fitting failures in all types of pipes, slab leaks, leaky water heater tanks, washing machine hose leaks and many more. Leaving leaky fixtures unattended is not advisable; any plumber in Lee County will tell you that humid breezes already contribute to creating favorable conditions for the growth of mold and mildew. Added moisture from leaky fixtures, even very small leaks, will fuel the growth of mold.

What steps should a Sanibel Island home owner or even renter take to make sure their home environment is mold free? Regular inspections of your home are crucial. You will most often be able to catch a potential problem before any damage occurs or you will be able to catch a problem in the early stages when the damage is minimal.

What areas are important to check? It is advisable to check around the back of toilet fixtures for excessive moisture, under sinks for leaks, behind washers, ice maker lines, shower drains and so forth.
