Bay Harbor Islands is a two-island town on the north end of Biscayne Bay, just west of Bal Harbour and Surfside. The town is small, but its plumbing is far from simple. The West Island is lined with single-family homes. The East Island holds the business district and a remarkable collection of mid-century apartment and condo buildings. Each side has its own plumbing needs, and A to Z Statewide Plumbing serves both with licensed plumbers and more than four decades of South Florida experience.

A Town Built in 1947, With Plumbing to Match
Shepard Broad founded Bay Harbor Islands in 1947. He filled two mangrove islands and sold lots to fund the work. Much of the town was built in the late 1940s through the 1960s. On the East Island, many of those buildings are low-rise apartments designed in the Miami Modern (“MiMo”) style that the area is known for. Decades later, here is what we typically find:
On the West Island (single-family homes):
- Original galvanized and copper supply lines with low pressure and pinhole leaks
- Cast-iron drain lines under the slab that are cracking or scaling shut
- Main sewer laterals affected by roots from mature landscaping
- Salt-air corrosion on exterior valves, hose bibs and outdoor showers
On the East Island (apartments, condos and businesses):
- Shared drain stacks and supply risers that are 60 or more years old
- Leaks that move from one unit to the units below
- Small-unit water heaters squeezed into closets and kitchens
- Restaurants and shops on Kane Concourse that need grease trap and backflow service

Renovating a Mid-Century Building in Bay Harbor Islands?
Many East Island buildings are being renovated or brought up to date. Plumbing is often the hidden part of the budget. Before you start:
- Camera-inspect the main drain and stacks. Sixty-year-old cast iron may need to be replaced while walls and floors are open.
- Check the water service size. Older buildings were designed for fewer fixtures than modern units have.
- Plan water heater placement for each unit, including drain pans and leak sensors.
- Coordinate shut-offs with tenants or owners well in advance.
- Confirm permit requirements with the town before plumbing work begins.
We work with owners, architects and general contractors on renovation plumbing, from early assessment to final inspection.

Bay Harbor Islands Plumbing FAQs
Do you work on older MiMo apartment buildings?
Yes. We repair and replace aging risers, drain stacks, water heaters and fixtures in mid-century buildings, and we coordinate the work with owners and tenants.
Who handles a leak between two units in my building?
We trace the leak to its source and document our findings. Responsibility then depends on your building’s rules and insurance policies. Our report gives owners and managers the facts they need.
Should I repipe my West Island home?
If your home still has original galvanized or aging copper pipes and you’re seeing low pressure, discolored water or repeated leaks, repiping is usually the long-term fix.
How does living on Biscayne Bay affect my plumbing?
Salt air speeds up corrosion on exposed copper, valves, hose bibs and outdoor showers, and a high water table can make underground leaks harder to spot. We recommend a yearly check of exterior fixtures and the water heater connections, and replacing corroded valves before they fail. Most exterior fixes are quick and inexpensive when caught early.
