April in Jacksonville feels like a warm hug, with temperatures nudging up to an average of 80°F and the promise of summer just around the corner. For homeowners in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, it’s the season of flip-flops, backyard barbecues, and—believe it or not—hot showers that don’t quit. But here’s the catch: your water heater’s been slogging through winter, and if you don’t give it some love now, it might leave you high and dry (or cold and cranky) when the humidity hits. At Turner Plumbing, located right here at 1903 Hendricks Ave. in Jacksonville, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to tell you why a spring tune-up is the smartest move you can make before summer steams up.
Let’s talk about what’s lurking in your water heater. If you’re in Duval County—or really anywhere in Northeast Florida—you’re dealing with hard water. It’s not your fault; it’s just the geology around here. That mineral-rich water leaves behind sediment, like tiny pebbles settling at the bottom of your tank. Over time, that buildup acts like a blanket, forcing your heater to work harder to warm up your showers or dishwater. The result? Higher energy bills and a unit that’s gasping for air by the time June rolls around. Industry studies say about 75% of water heater failures could’ve been avoided with a little maintenance. That’s three out of four breakdowns that didn’t have to happen—pretty good odds for a quick check-up, right? Turner Plumbing’s crew knows how to flush out that gunk and spot trouble before it turns into a cold-water crisis.
For homeowners, this isn’t just about comfort—it’s about being ready. April’s warm days mean more laundry from outdoor fun, more dishes from family gatherings, and maybe even a few extra guests crashing at your place near St. Augustine’s historic charm. Your water heater’s got to keep up. And if you’re running a business—say, a café in Jacksonville’s Riverside or a rental property near the beach—hot water isn’t optional; it’s your livelihood. A breakdown mid-summer could mean unhappy customers or tenants, and nobody wants that headache. That’s where Turner Plumbing shines. They’ve got flat-rate replacements if your unit’s on its last legs, and their techs can tune up your existing system so it’s purring through the heat. No guesswork, just results.
Timing’s everything with this. May’s right around the corner, and once the humidity settles in, you’ll be glad you acted. A quick flush or a professional once-over can extend your water heater’s life and keep it efficient when you need it most.
