Land O’Lakes plumbing, from well pumps to modern subdivisions
Land O’Lakes is one of the more varied service areas in Pasco County. You have older ranch homes on well systems in the western and southern parts of the area, mid-90s to 2010s subdivisions on city water, and a handful of newer developments still going in. A plumber working in Land O’Lakes has to be equally comfortable pulling a well pump, retrofitting a softener into a garage, and doing routine service calls in a modern build.
Jerry Calhoun runs Son of a Plumber Inc. and services Land O’Lakes regularly. Call or text 813-368-6028 for service.
The things that come up most in Land O’Lakes
Well systems and pressure tanks
If your Land O’Lakes home is on a well, the pressure tank, pump, and switch are all wear items. Signs the well system is due for service include short-cycling (the pump kicking on every time you use water for a few seconds), water hammer, pressure that swings a lot at the fixture, or a pump that runs longer than it should. Jerry services well pressure tanks, replaces pumps, and diagnoses pressure switch and check valve problems.
Softeners and filtration on well water
Well water in this area is often not just hard but also carries iron, sulfur, and sediment. A softener alone will not fix a well water problem. You usually need a filtration and softening combination sized to your specific water quality. Jerry can look at your water test or run one, and spec a system that actually addresses what is coming out of your well, not a generic softener that is going to get overwhelmed.
Water heater service in older ranches
The 1970s and 1980s ranch homes in Land O’Lakes are running water heaters that have often been in place for 10 to 15+ years. When those go, they often go all at once. Jerry is a Rheem-certified installer and can replace a tank or convert to a tankless system. In homes with electric water heaters and no gas service, hybrid heat pump water heaters are worth a look: they cost more upfront but the energy savings are real.
Repipes on older ranches
A ranch home built in the 1970s or early 1980s is a candidate for a copper repipe if you are seeing pinhole leaks, or a full PEX conversion if the pipe throughout the home is failing. On slab foundations these can be routed through the attic to keep things simple. Jerry does repipes personally and will walk you through what the project actually looks like day by day before you commit.
Newer subdivisions with normal service needs
In the newer parts of Land O’Lakes, the calls tend to be more routine: faucet and fixture replacements, garbage disposals, toilet repairs, softener rebeds, and the occasional shower valve. These are quick calls handled well by a plumber who is not going to talk you into work you do not need.
