Sewer Camera Inspection in Tyrone, GA

Tyrone's town sewer serves only certain developments, and some existing homes have no access to it and use private onsite wastewater systems. A sewer camera inspection films the drain line leaving your house, whichever system it feeds, so you can see roots, sags, cracks or blockages.

Is my Tyrone home on sewer?

It depends on where you live. The Town of Tyrone runs a limited sewer system, adopts its own sewer ordinance and buys wastewater treatment capacity, under a Fulton County agreement approved in 2017. Its sewer lines serve specific developments; Southampton and Rivercrest were approved for town sewer service. The mayor has said some existing residences have no current access to sewer, so those homes are not on municipal sewer and drain to private onsite systems. Your bill is the easiest check: a town sewer charge means you are connected. Water, separately, comes from Fayette County Water System.

What can a camera check on an onsite system?

The drain pipe from the house to the tank. In that stretch, a camera can show roots at a joint, a sag that holds water, a cracked or separated section, or a plain blockage. It is not the tool for judging the tank or the drain field. If the pipe looks clean and backups continue, the trouble is further along. On sewered homes, the camera follows the lateral toward the town line instead.

How old are drain lines in Tyrone?

Tyrone's median home dates to 2000, and about 13% were built before 1980. Plastic drain pipe is the norm, which resists roots but can sag or separate where soil settled. Older homes may have older materials. Larger lots mean longer runs, which adds time to an inspection.

Before the plumber comes, stop running water if anything is backing up. On an onsite system, don't keep flushing in hopes it clears. Find the cleanout if you can, and if you are on an onsite system, know roughly when the tank was last pumped.

A Tyrone permit note

The Town of Tyrone Building Department issues plumbing trade permits, with permits and inspections handled by SAFEbuilt and applications through Community Core. If the camera shows a repair is needed, the plumber doing the work normally files it. Keep the video with the permit paperwork. If you are on an onsite system and the house drain looks fine, the footage helps rule it out so attention can move to the tank and drain field, which are regulated separately. Homeowners in sewered developments such as Southampton can share footage of any defect near the street with the town.
