1960s and 1970s houses, mostly owned
Census figures place the median Shrewsbury build year at 1986, but about 44% were built from 1960 to 1979 and only about 9% before 1940. About 77% are detached and about 80% of households own. Fifty-year-old drain lines collect grease and scale. If the kitchen sink is slow every winter, or the basement toilet gurgles, have the line cabled before it backs up.

Snow and rain in the hills
The Millers 4 NE station shows a 1991-2020 normal near 48 inches a year, with around 13 one-inch days and about 34 inches of snow. Snowmelt and storms soak the ground, and old laterals let water in. Drains that slow down for a day after a storm are a sign the line needs a look.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Shrewsbury
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.
