1960s to 1980s Homes from the Lakes to the Water
Many Federal Way homes were built from the 1960s to the 1980s. Homes from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene supply pipe, a gray plastic prone to failure. Older homes may have galvanized steel supply or clay sewer lines, and many original water heaters and fixtures are worn by now.
Lakehaven Water and Sewer District serves much of the city, so check with them about water and sewer service. For work that needs city sign-off, check with the City of Federal Way. Homes near Dash Point and Redondo sit close to the water, and wet winters soak the soil around buried lines.
