Baltimore City Plumbing That Gets the Job Done
Row House Plumbing, Commercial Service, and Everything In Between
Baltimore’s plumbing is as old as the city itself.

Bailey Bros. serves Baltimore City homeowners and businesses with same-day appointments, 24/7 emergency service, and upfront pricing from our Edgewood location.

Serving Baltimore City from Edgewood
Our shop is at 2714 Pulaski Highway in Edgewood, about 20 miles northeast of downtown Baltimore via I-95. Baltimore City is home to over 585,000 residents in more than 250,000 housing units spread across 81 square miles. The city’s housing stock includes some of the oldest residential plumbing in Maryland, from brick row houses built in the 1800s and early 1900s to mid-century homes and modern construction in redeveloped neighborhoods.
Baltimore’s row houses are the city’s defining residential architecture, and they come with plumbing challenges that suburban homes don’t share. Shared party walls, stacked plumbing between floors, narrow access points, lead service lines in the oldest blocks, and cast iron drain stacks that have been in service for a century or more. We handle row house plumbing across Baltimore’s neighborhoods and understand the construction techniques that make these homes unique.
Our team is led by a licensed Master Plumber and Master Gas Fitter with 28 years of experience. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured under Maryland License #74826. Financing is available through Wisetack for larger plumbing projects.

Plumbing Services in Baltimore
Clogged drains, slow drains, sewer camera inspections, and sewer line repair for Baltimore homes and businesses. The city's aging sewer infrastructure means root intrusion, bellied lines, and cast iron failures are among the most common calls we handle. Save $350 on hydro jetting this season.
Traditional and tankless water heater installation, repair, and replacement. Baltimore row houses often have water heaters in tight basement spaces that require careful sizing and installation. Save $200 on installation or $400 on a tankless upgrade this spring.
Burst pipes, sewer backups, gas leaks, and flooding. We provide 24/7 emergency plumbing to Baltimore City. When your home or business has a plumbing emergency, call (443) 787-5995.
Hidden leaks in row house walls and between floors. Baltimore's oldest homes may still have galvanized steel, lead, or original cast iron plumbing. When spot repairs stop making sense, whole house repiping with modern PEX or copper solves the root cause.
Drain cleaning, grease trap service, hydro jetting, backflow testing, gas line work, and commercial maintenance plans for Baltimore restaurants, offices, retail, and commercial properties.
What Baltimore City Homeowners Should Know
Row House Plumbing Requires Row House Experience
Baltimore has one of the largest collections of row houses in the United States. These homes share party walls, have stacked plumbing that runs vertically through multiple floors, and often have cast iron drain stacks, galvanized supply lines, and lead service connections that predate modern code. Working on row house plumbing requires understanding the construction, knowing how to access pipes without unnecessary demolition, and recognizing when a spot repair versus a full repiping is the right call.
Century-Old Plumbing Under City Streets
Baltimore’s water and sewer infrastructure dates to the mid-1800s in the oldest sections of the city. While the city has modernized major trunk lines, the lateral connections between the main and individual homes are often original. A sewer camera inspection can show you the condition of your lateral before a problem forces an emergency repair.
South Baltimore, Greektown, Little Italy, and Canton
The neighborhoods south and southeast of the Inner Harbor along Eastern Avenue and Dundalk Avenue are among the most densely built in the city. Row houses from the late 1800s through the 1940s, commercial properties along the main corridors, and a mix of long-term homeowners and newer residents who’ve renovated. Plumbing issues in these neighborhoods often trace back to the original infrastructure.
Restaurants and Businesses on the East Side
Eastern Avenue and Dundalk Avenue run through some of Baltimore’s most restaurant-dense neighborhoods, including Greektown, Highlandtown, and Canton. We provide grease trap service, commercial drain cleaning, hydro jetting, backflow testing, and commercial maintenance plans for restaurants and businesses along these corridors.
Major Plumbing Work With Payment Plans
Repiping a Baltimore row house, replacing a sewer lateral, or installing a new water heater in a tight basement can be a significant expense. We offer financing through Wisetack with monthly payment plans for all credit levels so you can address the problem now instead of waiting for it to get worse.

Hear It From Your Neighbors
Very Professional and gets the job done! Bailey Bros was recommended to me by a friend who is a general contractor. They came and were very transparent with everything that needed to be done. They were professional and courteous as they explained everything before and during the process. They had to dig a very deep trench to access my sewer line and they returned the following days to finish, re-seed and straw my yard. Thank you! I have peace-of-mind knowing the task was done right.
I was having problems with my toilet and was looking for a plumber. I called Bailey Bros. and spoke with Ray on the first call. He came to my home and fixed the issue. He was very professional and easy to deal with from the first conversation I had with him. He was great! I will only call Bailey Brothers for any plumbing issues I have in the future.
Had these guys install a hot water heater for me. I bought the heater and they were gracious enough to install it. They were friendly, responsive and the least expensive after a comprehensive search. Significantly less expensive. They were thorough and explained everything. Shawn (my tech) was charming. Someone you’d be happy to go out and have a drink with. They have a 5 star rating. They ran a little late, but for the savings and quality of work, it was well worth it. The basement was a little cleaner after their work than before they arrived. I highly recommend them.
Thank you Shawn and Mike! My water heater busted on a Saturday and they were able to install a new one within a few days! 🥰 you guys are awesome! It’s so much better than the old one from 1999! 🫠
