Local conditions in Dacula

Dacula is a small, historic eastern Gwinnett town that is growing quickly, with new retail along Harbins Road and the large Hamilton Mill area sharing its 30019 ZIP. The city's utilities page lists Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources for water and sewer, and Gwinnett has built sewer lines in Dacula. Gwinnett puts the entire sewer lateral on the property owner. Its 24-hour dispatch for problems in the public system is 678.376.7000.

Not every Dacula home is on sewer. The city's building permit application notes that some properties are not on municipal sewer and use private onsite wastewater systems, which need Gwinnett Environmental Health approval for new structures. A plumber can jet the line from the house to the tank on those homes, but servicing the tank or drain field is a separate job. Tell the plumber which you have.

Housing is mostly recent: census survey figures put the median home at 1999, with about 13% built before 1980. Most drain lines are plastic, so grease, soap and wipes cause most clogs. Older homes near the historic center may have older pipe and root issues.

What affects the cost

• Access through a cleanout, toilet or vent
• Length of the line to the county main or onsite tank
• Type and amount of buildup
• Camera inspection
• After-hours scheduling

Cleaning normally doesn't need a permit. Repairs do, and Dacula issues its own building permits at City Hall on Harbins Road, with a City Inspector doing inspections on 24 hours' notice. The city's plumbing rough inspection includes a water test on waste lines, which gives a sense of how the city checks drain work.
