Sewer & Main Line in Oriole, Lakes of Delray & Huntington Lakes: what to know
In attached villas, drain lines from two or more homes may join before reaching the community's sewer main. A backup in one home can be caused by a blockage after that joint, so it is worth asking neighbors whether they have had problems before assuming the line is yours.
Cast iron drains of this age tend to scale inside, narrowing the pipe until paper and grease catch. Descaling the line can restore flow, and a camera inspection shows whether the pipe is sound enough to keep or needs lining or replacement.
