Common Plumbing Problems in Tamarac Homes
Tamarac has 2 water systems. Most of the city gets water from Tamarac's own treatment plant, which draws from the Biscayne Aquifer. The city says the plant partly softens the water to about 60 milligrams per liter, or 3.5 grains per gallon.
The eastern service area is different. Its water comes from City of Fort Lauderdale wells and is treated at a Fort Lauderdale plant. The median Tamarac home was built in 1981.
Signs the Cast Iron Is Failing
- Drains that clog again weeks after being cleared.
- A sewer smell indoors or roaches coming up from drains.
- Tile that lifts or stains along the line of the pipe.
- A sewer camera inspection shows the inside of the pipe before you agree to any repair.
Leaks in a Condo
In a condo building, who pays depends on where the pipe is. Lines that serve only your unit are usually yours. Shared stacks and pipes in common walls are usually the association's. Shut off the water to your unit, tell the property manager and take photos before anything is cleaned up.
Slab Leaks
Copper supply lines under the floor pinhole with age.

- How much cast iron. One bad section and a whole-house drain replacement are far apart.

- 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.
