Who Is Responsible for Sewer Backup in Maryland?

Question:

I have a question about sewer back up, If I had to have a plumber come to my house and they had to fix a backup from the sewer. How far it is my responsibility or the HOA. The plumber had to go out 60 feet to clear the line.
I ask my HOA to be reimburse for my cost. I was denied they told me that it was my cost.

Thank you

Answer:

Hi Rhonda,

To know who is responsible for specific elements, it is important to check your HOA’s governing documents. Your governing documents will outline the maintenance obligations and responsibilities of the HOA and the homeowners. Most of the time, the HOA is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of common areas, while the homeowner is responsible for their own individual properties/units.
