Townhouses and twins
Half of all Mountville homes were built before about 1982, Census estimates show. About 39% of homes are attached and about 36% detached, and about 77% of households own. In a townhouse row, each unit usually has its own lateral, but they run close together. A plumber can clear yours from the cleanout and tell you if the problem is past your property.

Storms and basement drains
The Landisville 2 NW station logs about 45 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and about 11 of those days bring an inch or more. Storm water belongs in the storm sewer. Downspouts or sump pumps tied into a basement floor drain send rain into LASA's sanitary system and can push sewage back into the house.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Mountville
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.
