Street main got replaced, but your drain still backs up?
Why it happens in Parkesburg
The Daily Local reported that Pennsylvania American Water upgraded sewer mains in Parkesburg, replacing wastewater pipe from the 1940s, and LancasterOnline reported new lines on Beale Street replacing some from the 1930s. The main is new. The lateral from your house to it may not be.
What to try, and when to call us
Roots and cracks in that private pipe cause repeat backups. Have it cleared and run a camera to see what shape it's in.

Call the utility for a main backing up into the street or manholes overflowing. A clog only in your house is your lateral or drains, and a plumber clears it.

Toilet gurgling every time it pours?
Why Parkesburg homes see this
The Coatesville 2 W station, about three miles away, normally sees about 52 inches a year and roughly 15 days of an inch or more. Census figures place the median home at 1982, but about 27% predate 1940, and cracked older laterals take in water in heavy rain.
When to stop and call
A toilet that gurgles during storms is the line telling you it's full. Cut water use until it passes and have the lateral checked.

What to Do While You Wait in Parkesburg
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.
