Why it happens in Red Hill

Red Hill Borough's page on the Upper Montgomery Joint Authority says owners are advised that it's in their long-term interest not to plant trees or deep-rooted shrubs directly over the route of the lateral. UMJA was set up in 1960 and serves Red Hill, Pennsburg and East Greenville.

What to try, and when to call us

If you already have a tree over the line and the toilet keeps backing up, a plumber's cable with a root cutter clears it. A camera shows how bad it is.

What to Do While You Wait in Red Hill

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.
