Pasadena has many waterfront communities that began as summer cottages and became year-round homes, so older plumbing, sump pumps, and septic systems and wells in some neighborhoods are common. Where public utilities are available, water and sewer come from Anne Arundel County.
Plumbing in Pasadena: what's different
Neighborhoods such as Riviera Beach, Fort Smallwood and the communities along Bodkin and Rock creeks grew from seasonal cottages. Converted homes often have plumbing that was extended in stages, with mixed pipe materials and water heaters in crawlspaces or utility rooms. Lake Shore and the area toward Mountain Road include larger lots where wells and septic are typical.

Frequently asked questions
My house is on a well. Can you still help?
Yes. We connect callers with contractors who handle household plumbing, pressure tanks and water treatment on well systems.
Why do my crawlspace pipes freeze?
Crawlspaces in converted cottages are often poorly insulated and vented. Insulating the pipes and sealing vents in winter helps.
