Local housing stock & common problems
The Southside is mostly newer than the rest of Jacksonville. The areas closest to Philips Highway and Beach Boulevard, in 32216, include 1960s and 1970s ranch homes. Baymeadows and Deerwood grew in the 1980s and 1990s with subdivisions, golf course communities, condos and apartments. The area around St. Johns Town Center, Gate Parkway and Kernan Boulevard filled in from the late 1990s through today, with two-story stucco homes, townhomes and large apartment communities.
Slab leaks and polybutylene
Many 1980s and 1990s homes sit on slabs with copper lines underneath, and some have polybutylene supply pipe. Both are common reasons for leaks and repipes.
Condos and townhomes
A leak in one unit quickly becomes a problem in the unit below or next door. Fast leak detection limits the damage and the dispute.
Water heaters and tankless
Many original water heaters from the building boom are due. Homes with natural gas are good candidates for tankless.
Retention ponds and low spots
Subdivisions are built around retention ponds, and some low-lying streets flood in heavy rain, which can back water into drains.
Built before the mid 1990s? Read about polybutylene pipes in Florida. Nearly all of the Southside is on JEA water and sewer. Newer homes mostly have PVC drains, so clogs tend to be grease, wipes and debris rather than roots and broken pipe.
