Common Plumbing Problems in Plantation Homes
Plantation runs 2 water treatment plants that draw groundwater from the Biscayne Aquifer. In place of chemical softening they use membranes, which strip out the calcium and magnesium that make water hard.
The city has used this membrane treatment since the 1990s. The median Plantation home was built in 1984.
Cast Iron Under East Plantation Homes
The city's older eastern neighborhoods were built with cast iron drains under the slab. After 50 years or more the pipe scales, cracks and sags. Signs are slow drains throughout, sewer smell and repeated backups. A sewer camera inspection shows how far the damage runs before you decide between lining and replacing.
