Local housing stock & common problems
The Northside covers a lot of ground and a lot of eras. Older neighborhoods closer to the Trout River and Broward River have 1950s to 1970s block and brick homes. Large rural lots out toward Oceanway, New Berlin and Black Hammock have homes of every age, many on their own septic and well. And since the 2000s, big subdivisions have filled in around Oceanway, New Berlin Road and the airport, with PVC drains and CPVC or PEX supply lines.
Septic tanks
Many Northside homes outside the newer subdivisions use septic. JEA's septic tank phase-out program has connected some older Northside neighborhoods to sewer, but plenty of homes still rely on their own systems.
Private wells
Larger lots often have private wells, so pumps, pressure tanks, sulfur smell and iron staining are common calls. See water filtration for treatment.
Marsh, rivers and flood zones
Low areas near the Trout River, Broward River, Dunn Creek and the marshes along Heckscher Drive can flood in tropical storms, saturating drain fields and pushing water back into drains.
Polybutylene and aging pipe
Homes from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s may have polybutylene supply lines; older homes may have galvanized pipe. Both lead to leaks and repipes.
