Plunger only helps for a few days?
Why it happens in Wrightsville
The typical Wrightsville home dates to 1944, by Census estimates, with about 70% built before 1960 and about 23% attached. Houses that old usually started with cast iron and clay. Scale builds up in iron, and roots get into clay joints. The plunger pushes a hole through, and the clog closes back in.
What to try, and when to call us
A cable machine clears the full line, and a camera shows whether it's scale, roots or a break.

Basement floor drain gurgling in wet weather?
What causes it in Wrightsville
The Landisville 2 NW station shows a normal near 45 inches a year, with around 11 one-inch days. In old laterals, saturated ground means more water in the pipe, and the basement floor drain and the lowest toilet are where you notice it.
What you can do right now
Don't use the floor drain as an outlet for a sump pump or washer if it's already slow. Have the line cleared first.
