For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

About seven in ten homes here predate 1980, and the median year is 1958. Rowhouses, small apartment buildings, and postwar colonials all bring different systems, and many still have original drain lines or only partial updates. Humid summers put pressure on cooling and dehumidification, and coastal storms test roofs, gutters, and basement waterproofing. Basements are common in the older rowhouse stock, and water often shows up there before it shows anywhere else. Roughly four in ten households own, so renters often meet a problem first and have to route it to someone else.

What that means for a call

With a median build year of 1958 and about 69% of homes standing before 1980, Washington has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.

Local watch-outs

  • Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
