What makes Fort Lauderdale slab leak distinct
Fort Lauderdale developed around Fort Lauderdale built 1838 during the Second Seminole War; incorporated 1911; canal-rich "Venice of America" identity. Atlantic coastal + intracoastal waterway exposure; 360°-canal salt-air on canal-front properties The dominant 1920s mediterranean revival + 1950s ranch + 1980s+ canal-front estate + modern construction era determines the failure modes we see most often, and the mixed eras — galvanized + type l copper + pex-a in waterfront new construction supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls. Salt-air pinhole corrosion on copper; canal-front DERM coordination; HOA-managed waterfront condos.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Fort Lauderdale
PEX-A reroute over slab cut wherever possible to preserve original terrazzo, tile, and historic finishes. Fort Lauderdale's 1920s mediterranean revival + 1950s ranch + 1980s+ canal-front estate + modern housing stock calls for different repair pathways — we default to the least-invasive option that solves the problem long-term.
PEX-A reroute through walls + ceilings
Bypass failed under-slab run with new PEX-A supply through wall cavities, attic chases, or ceiling joists — preserves finishes.
Default — preserves finishesControlled slab cut + spot repair
Where reroute geometry doesn't work, controlled access cut through slab, repair, pressure-test, patch.
