Newnan Utilities provides wastewater service in its area, and the drain lines inside a house and out to the utility's sewer are what a plumber clears. Most Newnan homes are 2000s or newer, so clogs here usually come from what goes down the drain. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Newnan.
Signs to watch
- A shower floor holds an inch of water by the end of a shower
- The kitchen sink burps or gurgles when the dishwasher pumps out
- A toilet runs high and drains slowly instead of flushing cleanly
- Water seeps up around a floor drain in the garage or laundry room
- Drains get noticeably slower when the house is full of guests
One slow fixture points to a local clog. Several at once means the main, and that's the time to stop running water.
Drains in Newnan
Newnan, the Coweta County seat about 40 miles southwest of Atlanta, has its own utility. Newnan Utilities provides electric, water and wastewater service and runs the Wahoo Creek and Mineral Springs treatment plants. For a sewer problem in the street, its line is 770-683-5516. Homes with a Newnan address outside the Newnan Utilities service area may have a different provider, so check your bill if you're outside city limits.
The housing stock is young. Census survey data put the median Newnan home at 2004, with about 23% built before 1980. Houses near the historic downtown are the most likely to have older cast iron or clay drains; the large post-2000 subdivisions have plastic pipe, which clogs from grease, wipes, hair and construction debris rather than rust. Roots can still reach joints where trees have grown in over 20 years.
What changes the price
- Where the blockage is: a trap clog takes minutes; a main line blocked near the street takes longer.
- How the line is reached: a ground-level cleanout is quicker than pulling a toilet.
- Tools needed: cabling, jetting and camera inspection are often priced separately.
- What's found: a sag or broken joint means repair, not just cleaning.
- Timing: nights and weekends usually cost more.
Once you're connected
You'll talk with an independent plumber who covers Newnan. Say which fixtures are slow, whether anything overflowed and where your cleanout is if you know. A routine clearing is service work; if a section of drain pipe has to be replaced inside city limits, the City of Newnan Building Department administers the plumbing code and issues the permit.
