Much of Parkville was built from the 1930s to the 1960s, so cast-iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe are common, along with water heater replacements. Water comes from the Baltimore City system and permits from Baltimore County.
Plumbing in Parkville: what's different
Parkville's housing is similar to the city's eastern neighborhoods just across the line: compact brick homes with basements, many with a single floor drain and sewer lines running toward the street under the front yard. Repeat drain backups and low pressure from old galvanized pipe are typical.
