Why Plantation homes need these repairs

Plantation is a leafy, mostly owner-occupied Broward County suburb of 1950s–80s homes on large lots and canals, west of Fort Lauderdale. The city softens Biscayne Aquifer water with membranes at two plants. A high water table, heavy rain, mature trees with roots in old drains and aging cast-iron pipe under slabs drive most of the sewer, drain and water heater calls here.
