What Shapes Clogs in Newville
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
A prewar borough
Census estimates put the median Newville home at 1938, with about 72% built before 1940 and about 84% before 1960. Only about 31% are detached houses, and about 56% of households rent. Houses that old started with cast iron and clay. Some have been updated in pieces, with plastic inside the house and old pipe under the floor or yard, and the joint between them is a common snag point.

One number for water and sewer emergencies
The Newville Water and Sewer Authority lists the borough office, 717-776-7633, for water and sewer emergencies during business hours, 8:00 to 4:30 on weekdays, and a separate after-hours number, 717-448-5706, for evenings, weekends and holidays. Those numbers are for problems in the public system. A clog inside the house or in your lateral is for a plumber.

Tell the landlord first
With more than half of households renting, many Newville clogs start with a call to a landlord. In converted older houses with several units, drains from different apartments can tie into one line, so a backup in a first-floor tub may come from upstairs. A plumber can clear the shared line from a cleanout.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Newville
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.
