The 1910s through the late 1930s construction in Division means your home is almost certainly carrying galvanized steel supply in older homes, copper in post-1970s renovations for water delivery and cast-iron stacks and clay sewer laterals for waste — materials that were standard for their time but are now approaching or past their design lifespan.
