Corrosion and cracked drain stacks drive most emergencies in houses of this age. For 21212, that points first to galvanized water lines, cracked cast-iron drains and pinhole leaks in copper.

Is a leak in 21212 your pipe or the utility’s?
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. Report water running in the street, a leaking hydrant or a main break to Baltimore City 311 (call 311 or use the 311 app).
