      The toilet and shower keeps backing up. The side sewr pipe was cleaned out around a year ago. Is it possible that the pipes are collapsing in. The are Galvanized.

      Thanks

      I’m sorry, meant to say it is cast iron.

      when they cleaned them, did they put a camera down the pipe to check condition of the pipe.
      try a company with a camera to check on pipe condition or dips in the pipe that would catch clogs.

      Cast Iron itself will not bend but there can be settling at the joints which will leave a dip. Often a structure has cast iron inside and changes to clay piping outside. Clay is noted for allowing roots to enter and to have dips. Many houses have their sewer cleaned yearly. When the drain needs to be cleaned more frequent than yearly then it is time to replace the line.
      When they clean the line this time ask them where and what the obstruction is.
