Sewer Camera Inspection in Fayetteville, GA

The City of Fayetteville runs its own sewer system, and for a backup it asks residents to call the Water Department first so it can check the city side. When the problem is in your own line, a sewer camera inspection films it to show roots, sags, cracks or a blockage and where. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Fayetteville.

What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local plumber who serves Fayetteville. You will be asked which fixtures are slow, whether anything has overflowed and whether you have already called the city. If the line is full, the plumber clears it first. The camera then moves from the cleanout toward the street while you watch, and a transmitter lets the plumber trace it from the surface and mark trouble spots.

Cost factors

Whether there is a cleanout or entry is through a toilet or vent

Fayetteville conditions

Fayetteville, the Fayette County seat, sends wastewater to its city treatment plant, which discharges to Whitewater Creek. The city's FAQ gives a clear sequence for sewer backups: call the Water Department at 770-460-4660 first so it can assess whether the blockage is on the city side. For blockages in the service line, the city says it will try to clear them but a plumber may be needed, and blockages inside the house always require a plumber. That is where a camera earns its keep, by showing exactly what is in your pipe after the city has looked at its part.

Water is not always the city's: some Fayetteville mailing addresses are on Fayette County Water System instead. The city's housing is fairly young, with a median year built of 1999 and about 9% before 1980, so most drain lines are plastic. Plastic can still sag where soil settled, separate at joints, or collect wipes and grease.

Before the plumber arrives

Call the city Water Department about the backup first
Stop running water until the line is clear
Uncover the cleanout cap if you can
Note which fixtures acted up and when
Plan to ask for a copy of the video

If a repair follows, Fayetteville's Building & Inspections office, operated by SAFEbuilt Georgia, handles permits inside city limits through BS&A Online. Addresses outside city limits fall under Fayette County. Keep the video with your records; if the same symptoms return, a second camera run can be compared against it to see whether a sag has worsened or roots have come back.

Sewer Camera Inspection questions in Fayetteville

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

Call the City of Fayetteville Water Department at 770-460-4660 first. The city assesses whether the blockage is on its side and will try to clear service-line blockages.

Which part of the sewer line am I responsible for?

The city says it will try to clear service-line blockages, but a plumber may be needed, and blockages inside the house always need a plumber.

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

Yes. Most Fayetteville homes are from the 1990s onward, and plastic lines can sag, separate or collect debris.

Should I get a copy of the inspection video?

Yes. The recording helps you compare quotes and gives you a record if the city and a plumber need to talk about where a problem sits.
