What Shapes Clogs in Spring Grove
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
Billing and grease rules at the borough
Spring Grove Borough's utilities page lists sewer billing through the borough office, with customer service at 717-225-5791 on weekdays. The borough's forms page includes grease trap regulations and documents. Grease rules exist because fats harden in sewer lines. In a home, the same grease coats the kitchen drain and turns into a sink that won't go down.

An old paper-mill town
Census estimates put the median Spring Grove home at 1959, with about 37% built before 1940 and about 51% before 1960. About 20% are attached homes. Cast iron drains in older houses rust inside and catch paper and grease. If the toilet and tub both slow down, the clog is likely further down the main line.

A station right in town
NOAA's Spring Grove station records roughly 45 inches a year, including about 11 days of an inch or more. The borough's storm water program asks residents to keep cleaners, oil and grass clippings out of storm drains. Inside the house, heavy rain is when a weak lateral makes the basement drain act up.

Before the Plumber Arrives in Spring Grove
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.
