Ocala farms demand robust, reliable plumbing systems to support everything from irrigation to livestock care. At Miller & Sons Plumbing, we specialize in farm plumbing solutions designed to handle the unique challenges of agricultural operations in Florida’s horse country.

Durable Irrigation & Water Distribution

Ocala’s sandy soils and rolling terrain require irrigation piping that can withstand long runs and variable pressures. We design and install custom PVC and polyethylene mainlines precisely sized for your acreage, ensuring consistent flow across pastures and paddocks. Each system includes pressure-regulating assemblies to prevent misting, water waste, and damage to sprinkler heads, while state-mandated backflow prevention devices protect your potable supply from potential contamination. Our annual maintenance plans keep these safeguards functioning flawlessly so your crops stay hydrated and compliant with local regulations.

Livestock Watering Systems

Reliable water access is critical to animal health and farm efficiency. Our livestock watering installations feature automatic float-valve troughs that maintain optimal levels without manual intervention, reducing waste and ensuring every horse, cow, or flock has fresh water on demand. For Ocala’s cooler months, we offer frost-proof hydrants in durable stainless-steel or cast-iron, engineered to prevent freeze-related failures. Each system is designed for easy cleaning and winterization, so you can focus on animal care rather than plumbing concerns.

Barn & Outbuilding Plumbing

High-use areas like wash racks and feed-processing spaces require specialized drain and fixture configurations. We install heavy-duty floor drains equipped with sediment basins or grease traps to capture hair, feed particles, and detritus, preventing clogs and protecting your septic or wastewater system. Above grade, our stainless-steel hose stations and wall-mount faucets deliver durability against rough use and harsh cleaning chemicals. From horse-wash bays to milk-house lines, every installation is tailored to your barn’s workflow and sanitation requirements.

Wastewater Management

Effective wastewater management is essential to protect both your operation and the environment. We size septic or aerobic treatment systems based on livestock counts and wash-down volumes, then handle routine pumping, inspections, and repairs to avoid costly backups. For surface runoff, we design French drains, catch basins, and swales to channel excess water away from structures and keep your pastures intact. Our erosion-control piping solutions help preserve soil health and reduce maintenance on driveways and walkways.

Preventive Maintenance & Rapid Response

Unplanned plumbing failures can disrupt your entire operation. That’s why Miller & Sons Plumbing offers comprehensive preventive maintenance—yearly backflow testing, hydrant inspections, and septic system checks—to identify issues before they become emergencies. When leaks, burst pipes, or pump failures do occur, our state-certified team responds 24/7 to minimize downtime. With over two decades of farm-focused experience, we keep your Ocala property running smoothly through every season.
