Running toilet

Toilet won't stop running after a clog?

Why it happens in Stewartstown

Stewartstown Borough lists sewer rates as of January 1, 2026: a flat $132.82 for 0 to 3,000 gallons, then $3.47 per 1,000 gallons from 4,000 to 5,000 gallons, with higher tiers above that. Plunging can knock the flapper loose, and a partial clog means flushing twice.

What to try, and when to call us

Check the flapper first. If the toilet still flushes slow or gurgles, the clog is partly blocking the line and should be cleared before the next billing period.

What causes it in Stewartstown

The Census Bureau dates the median Stewartstown house to 1990, and about 32% were built in 2000 or later. Newer PVC lines rarely clog on their own, so wipes, paper towels and too much paper are the usual cause. About 19% of homes are in buildings with five or more units, where one unit's wipes can clog a shared line.

What you can do right now

A few tries with a flange plunger is fine. If water rises or another fixture gurgles, stop and call.

Borough plant, or your lateral?

Why Stewartstown homes see this

The York County Planning Commission's wastewater plant map lists a Stewartstown Borough plant. The borough handles the public sewer. The lateral from your house to the main is the owner's.

When to stop and call

About 27% of homes predate 1940. In those older houses near the center, roots and scale in the lateral are the more likely cause of a backup.

What to Do While You Wait in Stewartstown

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.
