The Town of Sharpsburg says every house inside town limits is not on municipal sewer and uses a private onsite wastewater system regulated by the Coweta County Health Department. A camera inspection films the drain pipe from the house to the tank to show roots, sags, cracks or blockages. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sharpsburg.

What happens when you call
You will be connected with an independent local plumber who serves Sharpsburg. Tell them the home is on a private onsite system, which fixtures are affected, and when the tank was last pumped if you know. If the drain pipe is full, the plumber clears it first, since the camera cannot see through wastewater. The camera then travels from a cleanout, toilet or vent toward the tank, and a transmitter in its head lets the plumber trace the pipe's route and mark any problem from above.
What affects cost
- Whether there is a cleanout or entry through a toilet or vent
- Whether the pipe needs clearing before filming
- Distance from the house to the tank
- Locating the pipe route and saving the recording
Sharpsburg conditions
Sharpsburg is a tiny incorporated town on GA-16 in east Coweta County, about 10 miles east of Newnan. The town states that every house inside its limits is on a private onsite system, regulated by Coweta County Environmental Services, 770-254-7422. Water inside town limits comes from the neighboring Town of Turin.
For these homes, the camera's territory is the building drain from the foundation to the tank inlet. In that stretch it can show roots at a joint, a low spot where water sits, a cracked or separated section, or a blockage. It is not the tool for judging the tank or drain field. If the pipe looks clean and the house still backs up, the trouble is further along, and the county health department regulates that part of the system.
The town's housing figures come from a very small sample, about 309 residents, with a median build year of 1991 and about 32% before 1980. The surrounding 30277 ZIP is far larger, and its sewer situation was not verified.
Short checklist
- Stop running water and avoid repeated flushing
- Note when the tank was last pumped
- Uncover a cleanout if you know where it is
- Keep people and pets away from any overflow
- Ask for a copy of the video
Inside town limits, a Single Trade Permit from the Town of Sharpsburg is required before plumbing work, except emergency repairs.
