Baltimore plumbers who know rowhomes and old basements
Much of Baltimore's housing was built before 1950. Brick rowhomes put the meter, main shut-off and water heater in a narrow basement, share walls with the neighbors, and often still run on original cast-iron drains and clay sewer laterals. That's why basement floor drain backups, root-blocked sewer lines, frozen pipes in rear additions and low pressure from galvanized pipe are the calls Baltimore plumbers take most.
Who to call for what
- Baltimore City Department of Public Works (DPW): water and sewer service for the city and much of Baltimore County. Report main breaks to 311.
- BGE: gas leaks and anything at the gas meter. If you smell gas, leave the building and call BGE or 911.
- A licensed plumber: everything on your side of the property line, from the service line and sewer lateral to every pipe and fixture inside.
