Plumbing in Towson, MD: what local homeowners should know

Towson mixes 1920s–1950s brick Colonials and Cape Cods, Rodgers Forge rowhomes and Stoneleigh cottages with 1960s–1980s split-levels and newer infill. Older homes in Towson 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.
