Pinhole leaks, rusty water or an insurance letter about your pipes? Here is what Largo homeowners should know about repiping, and how to get a free estimate from a licensed local plumber.
About Largo
Largo is the third-largest city in Pinellas County, with 82,485 residents at the 2020 census. It was incorporated in 1905 on a farming economy, grew quickly after World War II and reached about 20,000 people by 1970, becoming a bedroom community as agriculture declined. (Source: Wikipedia, Largo)
Largo has grown a great deal since 1970, so many homes date from the 1970s through the early 1990s. That is prime polybutylene territory, along with older postwar homes that may have galvanized or copper.
What's likely in the walls of Largo homes
The year a home was built is the best first clue to its plumbing. These are general patterns, not a diagnosis. Remodels and past repairs change what is there, and a licensed plumber confirms it on site.
- Homes from the 1950s to mid-1970s commonly have copper or galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains under the slab.
- Homes built from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, the gray plastic supply pipe that many Florida insurers will not cover.
