WATER PROFILE

What the water means for the glass

Miami-Dade Water and Sewer delivers water to Hialeah from groundwater at 200 mg/L (CaCO₃). That is very hard for a US municipal supply. On Hialeah glass that residency means visible spotting on dark glazing within a single dry-down cycle and accelerated lower-sash mineral residue over the working year. The local operating practice is a citric pre-treatment followed by a citric finish-rinse on long-residence glass, and a deionized rinse on heritage and high-value stock where chemistry matters most.

SPRING

February through April is the high season. Pollen passes; lovebug pre-soak protocols active in May.

SUMMER

Reduced residential volume. Storm-recovery work fills the calendar in the back half. Avoid roof-edge work during afternoon storm windows.

FALL

Hurricane season continues through November. October–November is the second peak season for residential — snowbird homes opening, storm recovery winding down.

WINTER

December through February is the busiest residential window of the year. Snowbird turnover drives consistent volume.

WHAT GETS ON THE GLASS

What actually shows up on Hialeah glass

Mildew bloom on north-facing trim
JUN-SEP

High humidity plus shaded trim produces visible mildew at the glazing edge of north-facing windows. Cleaning the glass without addressing the mildew recurs in weeks.

Hard-water sprinkler overspray
YEAR-ROUND

At 180–245 mg/L, Florida sprinkler overspray is harsh enough to leave visible mineral rings. Less severe than Arizona, but the year-round irrigation cycle means continuous accumulation.
