Getting a truck across Park Blvd on a weekday is its own project, so we come up 49th instead of fighting the light stack on US 19. Much of the housing went up between 1978 and 1995, which means gray polybutylene supply lines and acetal crimp fittings that finally give up — a pinhole behind a vanity, nobody home, and the slab's wet down the whole hall. No storm required.
Ground is flat and low through the Joe's Creek and Sawgrass Lake drainage, so rainfall alone does damage here. The creek overtops in a hard July storm. We're in the manufactured-home parks fairly often too; those dry differently, and belly insulation holds water long after the floor feels fine. Out on 118th Ave N it's sprinkler heads and roof leaks instead.
Poly pipe, flat ground, and older parks near Freedom Lake
My house is from the 80s — how do I know if I have the gray poly pipe?
Look under a sink or at the water heater. Gray plastic pipe with crimp rings is usually Quest. It fails at the fittings without warning, so if you've had one leak, expect more.
It's a mobile home and my coverage is thin. Can you still help?
Yes. We'll walk what the drying actually requires before anything starts, so you're deciding with real numbers.
