Davie mixes horse-property acreage with tight canal-front lots, and the plumbing underneath reflects that spread. When a line fails out here, you need a crew that shows up ready for either.
West of University Drive, lots stretch out and homes sit on private wells and septic. East toward State Road 7, you're back on municipal water and sewer. One town, two very different plumbing problems. Davie is also the widest build range of any city we cover: 5,859 people here in 1970, 20,500 by 1980, 47,217 by 1990, 75,720 by 2000 and 105,691 by 2020. Which decade your street landed in decides what is in the ground.
On the acreage side, a failing pressure tank or a cracked irrigation manifold can drop water pressure across the entire property before anyone notices a puddle. We test the well, the tank, and the irrigation split before touching a single fixture inside the house.
Where the town has run new sewer mains, plenty of older homes are mid-transition off septic. That tie-in work has to match slope and depth correctly, or the house ends up draining slower than the tank it replaced. We pull permits and camera the line before we call the job done.

Around Davie Road, Orange Drive and the Western Theme District the drains are cast iron poured under the slab and the supply is galvanized. Cast iron gives 40 to 60 years in this climate and that stock is past the window, rusted from the inside out with the bottom of the pipe channelled away. Add in a housing stock built mostly through the 70s and 80s, and you get original galvanized supply lines, undersized shutoffs, and drain pipe that's earned its age. A pinhole leak today is usually the first of several. We'll tell you honestly whether a patch buys you time or whether a repipe is the smarter spend.
Arrowhead went up between 1973 and 1983 with a median of 1974; Forest Ridge, Shenandoah and the condominiums of Pine Island Ridge followed. That whole run sits inside the polybutylene window, the grey supply pipe installed between 1978 and 1995 that chlorine degrades from the inside until a fitting lets go, usually in a wall.
Long Lake Ranches was built between 2002 and 2007, so out there it is PVC on the drains and CPVC on the supply. Neither of the two problems above is yours. The wear shows up instead at valves, pressure regulators and the water heater.
West of Flamingo Road there are still acre agricultural parcels off the municipal system, on a private well, a pump and a pressure tank, where iron and sulphur in the water chew through fittings, valves and heaters long before their rated life. When pressure drops or water turns cloudy, the cause could be the pump, the tank, or a cross-connection out in the yard. We trace the whole loop before touching anything, because guessing on a well setup usually means a second trip.
Burst supply lines, sudden no-water calls, well outages: a truck rolls same day.

See hydro jetting →Davie is the only municipality around here with a Western Theme Overlay District, adopted in 1980, and with horses allowed on the public road. It also holds Pine Island Ridge, the highest natural point in Broward County at 29 feet above sea level. Property types run from ranch to acreage to canal-front, on private well and on municipal supply, and the same crews cover these cities too, each with its own page and its own pipe problem.
