Coverage here: single ZIP code
Elm Springs is covered by one ZIP code, which usually means a small town or a single delivery area. In places that size the sewer laterals tend to be older and privately owned right to the connection, records of what was laid and when are often thin, and a meaningful number of properties may be on septic rather than a municipal main. The first question a contractor asks in a town like this is which of the two you are on, because it changes the entire job.
Freeze depth: about 14 inches
The frost line in Arkansas is shallow at about 14 inches, so frozen laterals are rare in Elm Springs. That removes one common cause of joint movement — which means repeat blockages here are more often about roots, grease loading or pipe grade than about frost.

I searched for a plumber near me, not drain cleaning. Same thing?
For a blocked drain, usually yes. Drain cleaner near me, rooter service near me, drain snaking near me, sewer cleaning near me and clogged drain near me nearly always describe the same visit in Elm Springs — the trade uses the words interchangeably. Two are genuinely different: emergency plumber near me covers burst pipes and no-water calls that are not drain work at all, and septic service near me means a property with no municipal sewer connection.

Who owns the pipe between the house and the street?
In most of the US the property owner owns the lateral all the way to the main, including the section under the public footpath. That surprises people, and it is worth confirming with your municipality before agreeing to any excavation, because the answer decides who pays.
Does it matter how old the house is?
It is probably the single most useful thing you can tell a contractor. Pre-1950 usually means clay or cast iron with jointed sections that roots enter. Roughly 1950 to 1980 often means cast iron, and in some areas Orangeburg, which is bituminised fibre and fails by deforming rather than cracking. After about 1980 it is generally plastic — sound, but unforgiving of a bad fall.
Every drain in the house is slow at once.
That points past any single fixture to the main sewer line serving the whole property, and running more water tends to make it worse. What a main line clog looks like →
