Sewer Camera Inspection in Newnan, GA

Inside Newnan, sewer service comes from Newnan Utilities, which runs the Wahoo Creek and Mineral Springs wastewater treatment plants. A sewer camera inspection films the drain line from your home to the utility's sewer and shows the cause and location of a backup. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Newnan.

Warning signs

Toilets, tubs and sinks slow down at the same time
A toilet bubbles or gurgles while other fixtures drain
Water comes up in a ground-floor shower during laundry
A sewage odor outside near the cleanout
Repeat clogs after the line has been cleared

Isolated trouble at one fixture usually stays in that fixture's branch. When the problem spreads across the house, the shared line out to the street is the place to look.

Newnan conditions

Newnan Utilities provides both water and sewer in the city and treats wastewater at its Wahoo Creek and Mineral Springs plants. The utility also publishes a line-inspection request form on its website, which is worth knowing if you suspect a problem on the public side. For anything on your own lot, a plumber's camera is the way to see inside.

Newnan's housing is newer than its antebellum downtown suggests. The median home was built in 2004 and about 23% predate 1980. Those older homes, many near the historic center, are where aged drain pipe is most likely. In the many subdivisions built since 2000 off I-85 and around Ashley Park, plastic lines are typical; they hold up well against roots but can belly where backfill settled.

What affects the cost

Access point. An outdoor cleanout is easiest. Otherwise the camera may go through a toilet or vent.
Line condition. A pipe that is full has to be opened before it can be filmed.
Length and layout. Long laterals and several bends add time.
Locating and records. Marking the spot and keeping the video help when quotes follow.

Whatever the age of the house, wipes, grease and roots are the most common things a camera turns up, and each needs a different response.

When you call

You will be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Newnan. Describe which fixtures are affected, whether there is a basement, and when the line was last cleaned. If repair work follows inside city limits, the City of Newnan Building Department, on the second floor of City Hall at 25 LaGrange Street, administers the plumbing code and issues permits. Ask for a copy of the footage so you have it for later quotes or a future sale.

Sewer Camera Inspection questions in Newnan

Who do I call if the backup seems to be in the public sewer?

Newnan Utilities runs sewer in the city and offers a line-inspection request form on its website. Contact the utility if you suspect the problem is on its side.

My home is fairly new. Can its sewer line still have problems?

Yes. Most Newnan homes are from 2004 or later, and plastic drain lines of that age can still sag where soil settled or separate at a joint.

Does the line have to be cleared before the camera goes in?

If the line is backed up, yes. The lens cannot see through sewage, so the plumber opens the line first and then films.

Does a repair found on camera need a permit?

Usually. Inside city limits, the City of Newnan Building Department administers the plumbing code and issues permits.
