What we actually see in Fort Lauderdale
- Cast iron drains past their spanMid-century houses here drain through cast iron that has corroded from the inside. Descaling and jetting buy the line back; at some point replacement is the honest answer, and a camera decides which.
- Waterfront and near-water propertiesHigh water table, salt in the air, and a leak that never dries out because the ground is already wet. Finding it is the work; the digging is the easy part.
- Shower valves and fixtures in older bathsValves that have gone stiff or stopped holding temperature, in tile nobody wants to disturb. The valve body comes out through an access hole and the trim covers it.
- Water heaters in tight garages and closetsReplacement here is as much about access and clearances as it is about the unit.

Common questions
How quickly can you get to Fort Lauderdale?
Same-day is usually available, and emergencies get priority around the clock. Call and you will get a real arrival window.
My drain keeps backing up. Why?
On an older Fort Lauderdale house it is usually the pipe rather than what went down it. A camera down the line tells you which, instead of another cable job every few months.
