Local housing stock & common problems
Orange Park grew quickly from the 1960s through the 1980s, helped by nearby NAS Jacksonville, and many neighborhoods off Kingsley Avenue, Blanding Boulevard and Park Avenue (US 17) are filled with single-story brick and block ranch homes from that era. Fleming Island, across Doctors Lake, developed mostly in the 1990s and 2000s as planned communities like Fleming Island Plantation and Eagle Harbor, with larger homes, PVC drains, CPVC or PEX supply lines and lawn irrigation.
Slab leaks and aging copper
Many Orange Park ranch homes sit on slabs with copper lines underneath. After 40 or 50 years, pinhole leaks are common. Warm floor spots and a running meter are the giveaways.
Older sewer laterals
Homes from the 1960s and 1970s may have cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals that crack and fill with roots from the area's pines and oaks.
Hard water and water heaters
Hard Floridan aquifer water builds scale in tanks and tankless units. Many original and second-generation water heaters in the area are due for replacement.
Septic on the edges
Most homes in town and on Fleming Island are on central sewer, but some older unincorporated neighborhoods and rural lots in Clay County rely on septic and wells.
Septic vs city sewer. Depending on the address, water and sewer in this area come from the Town of Orange Park or the Clay County Utility Authority (CCUA). If you don't see a sewer charge on your utility bill, you're likely on septic.
Flood zones and storms. Homes near Doctors Lake, the St. Johns River and Black Creek can sit in FEMA flood zones. Black Creek's record flooding during Hurricane Irma in 2017 was a reminder that storms can flood drain fields, push water back into drains and damage water heaters and well equipment in garages and outbuildings.
