Pre-1980 housing here is 71%, above the Maryland figure of 52%. That ranks 6th highest of the 34 Maryland cities we profile. Clay pipe lets roots in at the joints, cast iron scales and cracks, and the line from the house to the street belongs to the homeowner in most places.
Only 46% of homes are single-family detached, so many sewer problems involve a shared building line. Check with your HOA or landlord before booking work.
