Jacksonville Biggest Plumbing Problems

Cast Iron and Galvanized Failure in Historic Riverside and Avondale

Jacksonville historic Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods have homes from the 1890s through 1940s with cast iron drain systems and galvanized supply lines now 80 to 130 years old. These are among the oldest residential plumbing systems in Florida and are generating a consistent wave of repiping and drain replacement calls as the neighborhoods see increased renovation activity.

Hard Water from the Floridan Aquifer

Jacksonville draws from the Floridan Aquifer through northeast Florida limestone geology. The water is notably hard with high calcium and magnesium content. Scale deposits inside water heaters and supply fittings are a city-wide issue. JEA water utility customers throughout Duval County deal with hard water impacts on appliances and plumbing year-round.

Tree Root Sewer Intrusion from Live Oaks

Jacksonville historic neighborhoods are famous for their massive live oak canopy. Those trees have root systems that have been infiltrating clay tile and cast iron sewer laterals for 50 to 100 years in many Riverside and Avondale properties. Root intrusion is the single most common cause of recurring sewer backup in established Jacksonville neighborhoods.

St. Johns River Flooding and Sewer Backup

Jacksonville sits on the St. Johns River, one of the few US rivers that flows north. Major storm events and hurricane activity cause the river to back up, flooding low-lying riverside neighborhoods and pushing sewage through drain systems in properties near the river system and its tributaries throughout Duval County.
