What Shapes Clogs in York Haven
Local numbers that matter for drains here, each with its source.
A water company owns the sewer
The York Water Company announced that it acquired the wastewater collection and treatment assets of the York Haven Sewer Authority in York Haven Borough. York Water's wastewater service rules say owners must keep the wastewater service line clear between the building and the company's sewer. So the company runs the main and plant, and the line from your house is yours.

A river borough of old houses
Seven in ten York Haven houses went up before 1940, and more than four in five before 1960, according to Census estimates. A quarter are attached. Old cast iron and clay pipe, and short laterals running to mains along the river streets, are typical. Roots and scale make clogs come back, so ask for the line to be cabled fully, not just the fixture.

Rain on the Susquehanna
The York Haven weather station is right in town. It has a normal of about 44 inches a year, with an inch or more falling on about 11 days. Wet ground and high water push groundwater into old laterals, and basement drains are the first to show it.

Before the Plumber Arrives in York Haven
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.
