Water heaters in Plantation homes
Plantation has established neighborhoods of single-family homes, many from the 1960s through the 1980s, with mature landscaping and larger lots.
Older Plantation homes sometimes have water heaters inside the home rather than in the garage, which makes a drain pan and leak shutoff especially worthwhile.
