Why Boca Raton homes need these repairs

Boca Raton is an affluent Palm Beach County city of mostly owner-occupied homes and gated communities built since the 1960s. The city pumps Biscayne Aquifer water and softens it with membranes and lime, and a high water table, salt air near the Intracoastal and aging cast-iron drains under 1960s–80s slabs drive most of the plumbing calls here.
