1920s house and roots in the sewer line?
Why it happens in Manchester
Census estimates put the median Manchester home at 1975. About 26% were built before 1940 and about 68% are detached houses with their own lateral. In older homes, clay laterals with open joints let roots in, and cast iron drains build scale. The clog returns after plunging because the pipe itself is the problem.
What to try, and when to call us
A cable machine with a root cutter clears it. If roots come out on the blade, plan on it again, and ask about a camera inspection.

New house, toilet won't flush
What causes it in Manchester
About 20% of Manchester homes were built in 2000 or later. Newer PVC lines rarely clog on their own, so a backup in a newer house is usually something flushed: wipes, paper towels, or a kid's toy.
What you can do right now
A few tries with a flange plunger is fine. If the bowl rises or the shower drain gurgles, the clog is past the toilet and needs a snake.

Is it the authority's sewer or mine?
Why Manchester homes see this
The Northeastern York County Sewer Authority's history says it was formed on April 30, 1959, to serve Manchester and Mount Wolf, and today serves 4,109 customers, including 1,247 in Manchester Borough. The authority runs the mains. Its office number is 717-266-1493.
When to stop and call
The line from your house to the main is the owner's. If only your house is backing up, start with a plumber.

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.
- Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
- Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
- If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.

Who clears a clog in my sewer lateral?
The line from your house to the main is the owner's to keep clear, so call us.
Why does my basement drain back up only in storms?
The York Haven station averages about 11 days a year with an inch of rain or more. Cracked laterals take in water then. Have the line checked between storms.
What should I tell the plumber when I call?
How old the house is, which drains are slow, and whether more than one fixture is backing up. That tells them where the clog likely is.
