About the Homes in Rock Hill
Although Rock Hill has a small footprint—just over one square mile—it’s a diverse community with a variety of home values and styles.

Rock Hill Sewer Lateral Program
A residential sewer lateral is the sewer pipe that runs from your home’s foundation to the sewer main. The sewer pipes inside your home can become clogged or crack due to tree roots or other issues. In much the same way, the main sewer drain that leads all the way to MSD can break or clog, and that can be expensive to fix (upwards of $15k). Thankfully, the community of Rock Hill does have a Sewer Lateral Repair Program to offset the costs of repairing a broken sewer lateral.
If you experience slow drains, foul odors, or low water pressure, you could have a clogged drain pipe. Knowing where the blockage is located is important, because if the clog is somewhere along the sewer lateral at least five feet outside your home’s foundation, the City of Rock Hill’s Sewer Lateral Repair Program may cover the repair costs up to $4,500, 10% of which is the responsibility of the homeowner. To qualify for reimbursement, homeowners must pay the annual lateral assessment fee on their real property tax bill each year and pay to have the lateral cleaned. If a drain cleaning does not remove the blockage, property owners should submit the application along with a non-refundable $275 application fee and a copy of the paid drain cleaning bill. Rock Hill staff will hire a plumber to perform a camera drain inspection to identify the defective area and the cause of the problem. Click here for details and to apply.
