Plumbing in Frederick homes: what to know
Old Town Frederick has early 1900s homes with older plumbing; newer neighborhoods are 2000s-onward with basements, PEX and irrigation.
Old Town drain and supply lines
Historic homes may still have galvanized supply lines and clay or cast-iron sewer lines prone to root intrusion and corrosion.
Basement plumbing in newer homes
Basement bathrooms added after construction sometimes have ejector pumps or long drain runs that clog or fail.
Frozen irrigation backflow devices
Above-ground backflow preventers in Frederick's newer neighborhoods crack when an early freeze arrives before the sprinklers are blown out, spraying water the moment the system is turned on in spring.
