The Town of Sharpsburg says every house inside town limits is not on municipal sewer and uses a private onsite wastewater system. Sewer line replacement in Sharpsburg therefore means new pipe for the building drain and the line from the house to the tank, not a lateral to a public main. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sharpsburg.
What happens when you call
The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who works in the Sharpsburg area. Expect questions about how the house drains, when the tank was last pumped and whether the backup happens even when the tank has room. If it does, the problem is likely in the pipe between house and tank, which is plumbing work. A camera run from the cleanout toward the tank will show where the line has broken, sagged or filled with roots.
Inside town limits, the Town of Sharpsburg issues a Single Trade Permit for plumbing, required before plumbing work except emergency repairs; the town hall number is (770) 251-4171. Onsite systems themselves are regulated by the Coweta County Health Department's Environmental Services, (770) 254-7422, so tank or drain-field work is a separate matter.
What affects the cost
- Distance from the foundation to the tank inlet
- Depth and slope of the existing pipe
- Drives, outbuildings or trees over the route
- Old drain pipe under the house replaced at the same time
- Coordination if the tank inlet also needs attention
Local conditions in Sharpsburg
Sharpsburg is a tiny incorporated town in east Coweta County on GA-16, about 10 miles east of Newnan, with about 309 residents. The 30277 ZIP around it is far larger, about 21,600 people, and arrangements outside town limits weren't verified; homes there may be on private systems or other utilities. Water inside town limits comes from the neighboring Town of Turin, not Sharpsburg. For the town itself, the median home dates to 1991 and about 31.7% predate 1980, according to ACS 2019-2023 estimates, though that sample is very small. Older homes may have clay or cast iron drain lines; newer ones usually have plastic.
Before the plumber arrives
- Know when the tank was last pumped
- Find the cleanout and the tank lid if you can
- Limit water use
- Note whether all drains are slow or just one
- Keep vehicles off the area between house and tank
Driving over the line is a common cause of crushed pipe on rural lots, so it's worth keeping off it after the replacement too.
