Drain backs up right after a remodel?
Why it happens in Newville
Census estimates put the median Newville home at 1938, with about 84% built before 1960. Houses that old started with cast iron and clay. Many have been updated in pieces, with plastic inside the house and old pipe under the floor or yard. The joint between old and new is a common snag point.
What to try, and when to call us
If the clog keeps coming back at the same spot, ask the plumber to run a camera. It will show whether a joint or an old section is catching debris.

Upstairs neighbor's water in your tub?
What causes it in Newville
About 56% of Newville households rent, and only about 31% of homes are detached. In converted older houses, drains from several apartments can tie into one line, so a backup in a first-floor tub may come from upstairs.
What you can do right now
Stop using water and tell your landlord. A plumber can clear the shared line from a cleanout.
