Miami Beach's older sewer laterals
Pre-1980 housing here is 66%, above the Florida figure of 35%. That ranks 4th highest of the 111 Florida cities we profile. Clay pipe lets roots in at the joints, cast iron scales and cracks, and the line from the house to the street belongs to the homeowner in most places.
Only 11% of homes are single-family detached, so many sewer problems involve a shared building line. Check with your HOA or landlord before booking work.
In Florida: Most of the state draws from limestone aquifers, so water is generally hard and softeners are common.
Permits
Excavation in the yard or street needs a permit, and someone has to call 811 first to get utilities marked.
