Twinbrook has mostly 1950s ranch homes, while the West End has older homes from the early 1900s. Newer townhomes and condos near Town Square share walls, so one leak can affect neighbors. Twinbrook's 1950s ranch homes often have finished basements over old block foundations, and many newer townhomes have basement levels too. When storm sewers back up or a sump pump fails, water spreads across the lower level quickly, soaking carpet, drywall and stored belongings.
