Overtown slab leak — what makes this neighborhood distinct
Miami's oldest Black community established 1890s as "Colored Town," anchored by Lyric Theater (1913). Historic African-American cultural anchor pre-dating Liberty City and post-I-95 displacement era For slab leak specifically, this matters because: the dominant 1890s–1950s frame vernacular + bungalow + post-i-95 redevelopment construction era determines what failure modes we see most often, the galvanized + cast iron + selective modern pex-a supply baseline tells us what we'll find behind walls, and Lyric Theater 1913 as a neighborhood anchor shapes how repair coordination needs to happen. Post-I-95 displacement context; modest housing stock surviving 1960s highway demolition.
Four repair pathways calibrated for Overtown
PEX-A reroute over slab cut wherever possible to preserve original terrazzo, tile, and historic finishes. Different Overtown buildings call 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.
When reroute impossibleFull PEX-A repipe
When multiple leaks indicate end-of-life supply, full repipe through wall + attic cavities; abandoned under-slab line stays isolated.
