Ridgewood and Market Heights have 1920s–1950s homes with basements. Much of the city has early-1900s wood-frame homes with aging plumbing and stone or brick foundations. Many Canton homes were built in the early 1900s for steelworkers, with basements, plaster walls and hardwood floors. Old floor drains and sewer laterals often back up during heavy storms, and aging water heaters and supply lines in basements fail without warning, soaking stored belongings.
