Old core, newer edges
Census figures place the median Parkesburg build year at 1982, with about 27% built before 1940 and about 21% in 2000 or later. About 21% are attached homes. If the street main has been replaced, your own lateral may now be the oldest pipe between your house and the treatment plant. Roots and cracks there cause repeat backups.

Lots of heavy rain
The Coatesville 2 W station, about three miles away, normally sees about 52 inches a year and roughly 15 days of an inch or more. Heavy rain is when cracked laterals take in water. The borough's stormwater program also asks residents to keep grease and oil out of storm drains.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Parkesburg
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.
