In Peachtree City, sewer service comes from the Peachtree City Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA), while water comes from Fayette County Water System. A sewer camera inspection films the drain line from your house to WASA's sewer so you can see what is causing slow drains or backups. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Peachtree City.
Peachtree City is a planned community organized into villages around Lake Peachtree, Lake Kedron and Lake McIntosh. Its sewer utility, WASA, is independent of both the city and the county water system and operates two wastewater treatment plants. The median home here was built in 1993, and about 14% predate 1980. Because the water bill and the sewer bill come from two different agencies, knowing whom to call matters when something goes wrong, and a camera helps sort out whether the problem is on your lot or in WASA's line.
What to do now
- Ease off the water. Stop the washer and dishwasher so the line is not loaded further.
- Check for a pattern. If several fixtures act up together, suspect the main drain rather than one sink.
- Call WASA for spills. Sewage coming from a manhole or the street is WASA's to handle: (770) 487-7993 in business hours, (678) 300-0196 after hours.
- Locate the cleanout. A capped pipe near the house makes the inspection quicker.
- Book clearing and camera together. The footage right after cleaning shows the cause.
Symptoms and likely causes
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Gurgling toilet while the tub drains | Restriction in the main line |
| Water in the lowest shower on laundry day | Blockage downstream of that drain |
| Clog returns within months | Roots or a sag trapping debris |
| Damp lawn strip or odor | Crack or separated joint |
| Only the kitchen is slow | Grease in the kitchen branch |
Cost factors
- How easy it is to get into the line
- Whether it must be cleared or jetted first
- Length of run and number of bends
- Surface locating and a saved recording
Plastic drain lines are common in Peachtree City's 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods. They resist roots better than older materials but can sag or separate as soil settles, which shows up clearly on video. If the camera points to a repair, the Peachtree City Building Department issues trade permits, including plumbing, through its online portal or at the main desk on Willowbend Road. Ask for a copy of the footage so you can compare quotes and keep a record of the line's condition for the future.
