My home in Palm Harbor FL. Built in 1991 had to have all plumbing replaced at a cost of $8000. before we could sell and move to TV.

OUCH. I'm not a plumber but as I understand it few Florida homes have abasement or crawl space. When they re-plumb rather than running the pipe under the slab they run it through the attic. A whole new set of problems. Cold water heated in your attic.
Any leak above your head-ceiling.
