Laurel homes and water damage
Old Town has older homes. Russett has townhomes. Old Town Laurel has 19th- and early-1900s homes near the Patuxent River with older plumbing and stone or brick foundations. Russett and West Laurel have many 1970s–1990s townhomes and single-family homes with finished basements, where a failed sump pump can soak carpet and drywall quickly. Townhomes share walls, so one leak can spread to neighbors, and homes near the river face flood risk. Many homes have basement bedrooms, offices and storage, so water reaches valuable belongings quickly, and many older homes have original water heaters and supply lines near the end of their life.
