The Foster Road area is part of northwest Hallandale Beach, ZIP code 33009. This page does not rely on a boundary map. It uses fixed points the city itself names: Foster Road east of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and Foster Park at 609 NW Sixth Avenue.

This page covers the plumbing services people in that part of the city ask about, what the public record says about the area, and practical steps that apply to any older building.

What the city says about this part of Hallandale Beach

The city's history page says the northwest community voted on May 21, 2003 to adopt the name "the Palms of Hallandale Beach." It records that The Palms, a well-known club, stood on Foster Road east of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in the mid-1950s, and that a handful of homes now stand on that site.

Foster Park opened with a ribbon cutting on September 29, 2012, and includes the community center at 609 NW Sixth Avenue. Foster Park and Ingalls Park are named for Foster Ingalls, the city's first mayor. The city also lists OB Johnson Park, which was renovated in phases starting in 2015.

Older buildings: what to check rather than assume

The city's adopted plan, in its history section, says older housing in Hallandale Beach is found mainly west of Federal Highway, and describes it as wood-framed single-family houses and cottages. That is a general description of the city. It does not name this neighborhood, and it does not say what is inside anyone's walls.

So the honest answer for any house here is to check, not assume. A homeowner can ask when the house was built, whether the plumbing has been replaced, and what the supply pipes are made of. A plumber can confirm it, and our repiping page explains when replacing old supply lines is worth discussing.

Finding a leak without tearing out the wall

If a bill is rising or a floor is damp, start with a leak check. Our leak detection service uses listening gear and moisture readings, so the opening that follows can be small and exact.

Common plumbing calls near Foster Road

These are general plumbing situations. They are not claims about how often any of them happen in this neighborhood.

  • A drain that is slow or backs upIf one fixture is slow, the clog is local. If several back up together, the trouble is in a larger line. See drain cleaning and sewer line cleaning.
  • A water heater that leaks or runs coldWater at the base of the tank usually points to the tank. Water heater repair covers what can be fixed, and water heater replacement covers what cannot.
  • A faucet that drips or a tub that will not shut offSmall drips add up on a bill. A faucet repair is usually a short visit.
  • A toilet that runsA worn flapper or fill valve is a common cause, and the fix is typically small. See toilet repair.
  • Damp ground or a wet spot near the houseWater at the surface may come from a supply line. Our water line repair page covers what repairing a line involves.

City utility or your plumbing: who to call first

The City of Hallandale Beach Utilities Division provides water and sewer service. Its page says that when a meter keeps running with everything shut off, the break is on the customer's side. If water is coming from the street or the meter box itself, that is the utility's side, and the city's Public Works line is (954) 457-1616.

Gas smell is different. Leave the building and call 911 from outside before you call anyone else.

The map centers on Foster Park, whose address the city gives as 609 NW Sixth Avenue. Foster Road runs near it, east of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

Hiring a plumber: three checks before work starts

First, look up the license. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation has a free search by name or number. Second, ask for the price in writing before the work begins. Third, ask whether a permit is needed and who pulls it, since the city's Building Division handles permits and inspections.

Questions homeowners ask

The city refers to Foster Road, Foster Park and the northwest community, which chose the name the Palms of Hallandale Beach in 2003. This page does not rely on a boundary map and describes the area using the points the city names.

No. Age alone does not decide it. What matters is what the pipes are made of, what condition they are in and whether they have been replaced. A plumber can check, and you can ask the previous owner or look at permit records.

Turn off every fixture and check the meter. If it still moves, the city's utilities page says a plumber is needed to find a break on your side. Note the readings and call with them in hand.

For water coming from the street or the meter box, call the city's Public Works line at (954) 457-1616. For a problem inside your property, a plumber is the right call.
