Common Problems
My Roof Is Leaking
A roof leak needs a roofer, but if water has already damaged your ceiling or drywall, you may also need a water damage restoration professional. If the leak is active and spreading, act fast to minimize damage.
Water Coming Through My Ceiling
Water coming through your ceiling could be a roof leak, a plumbing leak, or even AC condensation. The source depends on whether it happens during rain, when you use water, or constantly — TBCRN helps you figure out which professional you need.
My AC Is Not Cooling
If your AC is running but not cooling, the most common causes are a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, a frozen coil, or a failing compressor. An HVAC technician can diagnose and fix the issue.
My Breaker Keeps Tripping
A breaker that trips repeatedly indicates an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. This is a safety feature — don't just keep resetting it. An electrician should diagnose the cause.
My Toilet Is Backing Up
A toilet that backs up or overflows can be a simple clog or a sign of a deeper sewer line issue. If a plunger doesn't fix it, or if multiple drains are affected, you need a plumber.
My Water Heater Is Leaking
A leaking water heater usually means the tank has corroded through and needs replacement. Turn off the power and water supply, then call a plumber. Small leaks from fittings may be repairable.
Mold Appeared After a Leak
Mold can appear within 24–48 hours after water exposure in Florida's humid climate. You need a mold remediation professional to safely remove it and address the moisture source. Don't try to clean large areas yourself.
My Lights Are Flickering
Flickering lights can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a more serious electrical panel issue. In Florida's lightning-prone climate, this should be checked by an electrician to rule out fire hazards.
A Tree Fell on My House
If a tree has fallen on your house, you need a tree removal service to safely remove it, then a roofing contractor and possibly a general contractor for structural repairs. If anyone is injured or the structure is unstable, call 911 first.
My AC Is Leaking Water
Water leaking from your AC is usually caused by a clogged condensate drain line, a frozen evaporator coil, or a failed condensate pump. An HVAC technician can clear the line and check the system. If water has damaged your ceiling or walls, you may also need a water damage contractor.
My Outlet Smells Burnt
A burning smell from an outlet is a fire hazard. Turn off power to that circuit at the breaker immediately and call an electrician. Do not use the outlet until it has been inspected and repaired.
My AC Keeps Running Constantly
An AC that runs constantly in Florida heat is working harder than it should. Common causes include a dirty air filter, a thermostat set too low, restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or an aging system that can no longer keep up. An HVAC contractor can diagnose the real cause.
My Outside AC Unit Is Not Running
If your indoor air handler is running but the outdoor condenser unit is not, the cause could be a tripped breaker, a failed capacitor, a faulty contactor, or a thermostat issue. Some checks are safe for a homeowner; electrical components inside the unit should only be serviced by an HVAC technician.
Why Is My AC Frozen?
A frozen AC coil is usually caused by restricted airflow (dirty filter, blocked vents, or a failing blower) or low refrigerant. Turn the cooling off at the thermostat, switch the fan to "on" to help thaw the coil, and let the system fully defrost before calling an HVAC contractor.
I Have No Hot Water
No hot water can mean a failed heating element (electric), a failed pilot or gas valve (gas), a tripped breaker, or a failed tankless unit. The type of water heater you have determines who to call and what to check. Do not attempt gas or electrical repairs yourself.
Sewage Smell in My House
A sewage smell inside your home can come from a dry drain trap, a cracked or failing drain line, a venting problem, or a septic system issue. If there is visible sewage backup or wastewater, avoid contact and call a plumber immediately. Do not try to mask the smell — find the source.
Do I Have a Slab Leak?
A slab leak is a pipe leak under the concrete foundation of your home. Signs include unexpected wet or warm flooring, an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or reduced water pressure. Professional leak detection is needed to confirm and locate it.
My Garage Door Won't Open
A garage door that won't open or close can have a simple cause (dead remote batteries, blocked photo-eye, tripped breaker) or a serious one (broken springs or cables). Safe checks are limited — torsion springs and cables are under extreme tension and should only be handled by a professional.
Missing Shingles After a Storm
Missing shingles after a storm expose the underlayment and roof deck to water. Even if you don't see leaks inside yet, the roof is vulnerable to the next rain. Document the damage from the ground with photos, contact your insurance company, and have a roofing contractor inspect it before the next storm.
