Pre-1960 homes were plumbed with galvanized steel for water and cast iron for drains, and most now carry copper patches from later repairs. Corrosion and cracked drain stacks drive most emergencies in houses of this age. For 21225, that points first to galvanized water lines, cracked cast-iron drains and pinhole leaks in copper.
Rowhouses and townhouses make up 49% of homes in 21225. Row homes share party walls, so water from a burst pipe travels into the house next door, and in most row homes the water line enters through the front basement wall from the meter out front.
