Main got relined, but my drain still backs up?
Why it happens in Jonestown
A 2025 Northern Lebanon County Authority notice posted by Jonestown Borough describes a sewage pipe relining project, with a brief sewer interruption while each lateral connection was lined. Relining puts a new pipe inside the old main. It doesn't touch the lateral from the main to your house.
What to try, and when to call us
If your toilet or floor drain still backs up, that lateral or the house drain is where the clog is. A plumber can cable it from the cleanout and, if needed, run a camera to the main.
New house, and the toilet's already clogged?
What causes it in Jonestown
By Census estimates, the middle Jonestown home went up in 1993, and about 46% were built in 2000 or later. Newer PVC drains rarely clog on their own. When they do, it's usually what went down: wipes, grease, paper towels or too much toilet paper in a low-flow toilet.
What you can do right now
A few tries with a flange plunger is fine. If it won't move, or two fixtures are slow, stop and call. About 22% of homes predate 1940, and in those older houses roots and old pipe are more often the cause.

Camera found a break past the cleanout?
Why Jonestown homes see this
Jonestown council minutes from February 2022 record a sewer lateral repair finished with temporary paving, with permanent paving in spring. Lateral breaks under the street do happen here.
When to stop and call
If a plumber's camera shows a break past your cleanout, ask the borough which part of the lateral is yours before anyone digs. The borough office is at 717-861-5414.
