Why Miramar homes need these repairs
Miramar is a south Broward County city of mostly owner-occupied homes, with older neighborhoods in the east and newer planned communities to the west. The city treats its own water with membrane filtration, and a high water table, heavy rain and aging east-side plumbing shape the calls.

Miramar's water supply and your plumbing
Miramar runs two water treatment plants. The East plant switched from lime softening to reverse osmosis and nanofiltration in 2019, and the West plant, built in the late 1990s, also uses membrane treatment. [1]
The East plant is permitted for nearly 6 million gallons a day and the West plant for nearly 11.5 million. [2]
Polybutylene-era homes in Miramar: leaks and repiping
The median home in Miramar was built in 1995, and 32% of homes predate 1980. Homes from that era were typically built with copper or CPVC supply, plastic drains, and in some homes gray polybutylene supply pipe, which is where leaks, low pressure and drain problems usually start as they age.
- Galvanized steel supply (1900–1960)
- Copper supply (1950–2000)
- Polybutylene (some homes) (1978–1996)
- PEX / CPVC (1995–today)

Miramar plumbing questions
Can recurring clogs in Miramar mean a sewer line problem?
Yes. When several drains back up together, the main sewer line is the likely cause, and a camera inspection shows whether it's roots, a sag or a break. Why it comes up in Miramar: Cast-iron drains in 1960s–80s east-side homes crack under slabs.
When is a leaking water heater an emergency in Miramar?
A leak from the tank itself won't stop and usually means replacement; turn off the gas or power and the cold-water valve, then call. Why it comes up in Miramar: Humid garages and year-round use wear out tanks.
Is Miramar water treated with reverse osmosis?
Yes. Both city plants use membrane treatment (reverse osmosis and nanofiltration), so the water is low in hardness.
Do I need a softener in Miramar?
Usually not on city water, because membrane treatment removes most hardness. Some west-side homes are served by other utilities; check your bill.
Why do older east Miramar homes have drain problems?
Cast-iron drains from the 1960s–80s scale and crack under the slab. A camera inspection shows whether lining or replacement is needed.
What should I check after a big storm in Miramar?
Look for slow drains or gurgling toilets, which can mean the sewer is backed up, and check outdoor equipment for damage.
