Local housing stock & common problems
Murray Hill grew up in the 1920s and 1940s with brick and frame bungalows along Edgewood Avenue and nearby streets. Ortega, on its peninsula between the St. Johns and Ortega rivers, has grand early 1900s and 1920s homes. Lakeshore, Cedar Hills and Paxon filled in with modest block and brick homes from the 1940s to the 1960s. Argyle and the subdivisions off Blanding Boulevard and Collins Road came later, mostly from the 1980s on. Head west past I-295 toward Normandy and Whitehouse and you reach larger rural lots.
Older drain and sewer lines
Murray Hill, Ortega and Lakeshore homes often have cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals with root problems. Some mid-century homes have Orangeburg pipe.
Septic and wells
Large parts of the western Westside rely on septic tanks and private wells. JEA's septic tank phase-out program has moved some older neighborhoods to sewer, but many homes still have their own systems.
Galvanized and polybutylene
Older homes may still have galvanized supply lines; homes from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s may have polybutylene. Both are common reasons to repipe.
Rivers, creeks and storms
Ortega and riverfront streets, plus low areas along the Cedar River, Ortega River and McGirts Creek, can flood in tropical storms, affecting drains and septic fields.
