Water in the basement
Ellicott City knows flooding: Main Street was hit hard in 2016 and again in 2018. Even far from the river, heavy storms test basements across Howard County. A reliable sump pump with a battery backup, checked before spring, is cheap insurance.
Old and new homes
Ellicott City ranges from 19th-century stone buildings to subdivisions built in the last 20 years. Older homes bring old pipes and drains; newer ones bring tankless water heaters and builder-grade fixtures that wear out. MJ handles both.
