Why Szczecin homes get this: Szczecin's large stock of grand pre-war (often German-era) tenements carries aging steel and cast-iron plumbing past replacement age, with shared risers turning single leaks into multi-flat problems. The Baltic-influenced damp climate and high water table near the Oder keep basement drainage and damp-related work constant.
