Mixed housing ages mean mixed plumbing: galvanized and cast iron in the oldest houses, copper in mid-century homes and PEX or CPVC in recent construction. The emergency depends on which of those is in your walls. The repairs to expect most in 21202: burst supply pipes, pinhole leaks in copper and cracked cast-iron drains.
62% of homes in 21202 are in buildings with five or more units. In those buildings a leak in one unit drips into the units below, and building staff control the valves that isolate each riser.

Who is responsible for a water leak outside a 21202 home?
The property owner is responsible for the service line from the water meter into the house; the Baltimore City Department of Public Works maintains the outdoor lines up to and including the meter.
