Which parts of Orange Park see it most
Census ACS data show Orange Park's median home was built in 1974, and about 70% of housing units predate 1980, so original plumbing and water heaters are a frequent leak source. The Aquarius Concourse area near McGirts Creek and Orange Park Mall is the neighborhood local reporting identified as flooding during Irma.

Common Emergencies in Orange Park
Orange Park conditions: Orange Park sits on the west bank of the St. Johns River in Clay County, with a humid subtropical climate of hot, stormy summers. In September 2017, Hurricane Irma's surge and heavy rain pushed nearby Black Creek to a record crest and flooded homes along Black Creek and Doctors Lake. In western Orange Park, the Aquarius Concourse neighborhood near McGirts Creek flooded during Irma, and Orange Park High School sheltered more than 700 residents. Long air-conditioning seasons and high humidity let mold take hold quickly after any indoor leak.
- Clogged air-conditioner condensate drain lines, where algae and debris build up during Florida's long cooling season, overflowing the drain pan onto ceilings, walls and flooring.
- Aging water heaters, supply lines and drain pipes in Orange Park's housing stock, where about 70% of homes were built before 1980.
- Slab and under-sink plumbing leaks in 1960s and 1970s ranch homes that go unnoticed until flooring buckles.
- Roof leaks from wind-driven rain during tropical storms such as Hurricane Irma in 2017.
- Washing machine and dishwasher hose failures that flood kitchens and laundry rooms.
