Why it happens in Richlandtown

Census estimates show about 45% of Richlandtown homes are attached, and about 32% were built before 1940. In older attached homes, drains can share a section before reaching the street.

What to try, and when to call us

If both units are slow, stop using water and have a plumber find the clog. It may be in a shared line.

Why Richlandtown homes see this

The Bucksville station averages about 51 inches a year and about 15 days of an inch or more. Older laterals take in water when the ground is soaked.

When to stop and call

If the floor drain gurgles each storm, ask the plumber to camera the lateral for cracks.

What to Do While You Wait in Richlandtown

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.
