Common Plumbing Problems in Lauderhill Homes
Lauderhill pumps its water from 6 wells in the Biscayne Aquifer, its only source, and lime-softens and filters it at the city plant. The plant produces about 6.6 million gallons a day.
Each year the city switches to free chlorine for about 10 days to clean its mains. The median Lauderhill home was built in 1976.
Condo Buildings in Inverrary and Beyond
- Tell the association about any leak; it controls the riser shutoffs.
- Original cast iron stacks may need lining or replacement.
- A clog in a shared stack backs up into the lowest unit.
- Get the association's rules on hours and insurance before work starts.
Annual Chlorine Switch
For about 10 days each spring the city switches to free chlorine to clean its pipes, and water can smell like a pool. It is not a plumbing problem. A rotten-egg smell from only the hot tap is different; that usually points to the water heater.
Cast Iron Drains
Drains under 1960s and 1970s buildings corrode and crack.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Lauderhill
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Lauderhill.
- Condo rules. Notice, insurance papers and set hours add time.
- Cast iron drains. Lining or replacing pipe under the floor is a large job.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
