Plumbing in Ellicott City, MD: what local homeowners should know
Ellicott City ranges from 1800s stone and frame buildings in the historic district to 1970s–2000s colonials and newer subdivisions west of Route 29. Older homes in Ellicott City may still have galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains or clay sewer laterals that can be scoped with a camera before deciding on repairs. Tree roots in sewer lines are a common cause of backups here.
