When a pipe bursts or the drains back up in Sharpsburg, close the main water valve first. If you smell gas, leave the house and call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from outside. Then call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Sharpsburg.
Making the call
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who works in Sharpsburg. Describe what failed, whether the water is off and whether the problem is with supply pipes or drains. Since homes in town are not on municipal sewer, say so if every drain is backing up. Ask about after-hours pricing before the visit. Arrival depends on the hour and the plumber's schedule, so no time is promised.
What affects cost
- Time. Night and weekend calls usually cost more.
- Type of problem. A supply leak, a clogged house drain and a problem with the onsite system are different jobs.
- Access. Crawl spaces, slabs and long yard lines change the labor.
- Permits. Inside town limits, Sharpsburg requires a Single Trade Permit before plumbing work, except for emergency repairs.
How Sharpsburg is set up
Sharpsburg is a tiny town in east Coweta County on GA-16, about 10 miles east of Newnan and 5 miles southwest of Peachtree City. The 30277 ZIP around it is far larger than the town itself.
Inside town limits, drinking water comes from the neighboring Town of Turin, whose water department is at 770-599-0777. Leaks in the street or at the meter go to Turin. Leaks inside the home, or between the meter and the house, are plumber work.
Every house inside town limits is on a private onsite wastewater system rather than municipal sewer, and the Coweta County Health Department's Environmental Services office (770-254-7422) regulates those systems. If all drains back up, the trouble may be in the line from the house to the tank or in the system itself. A plumber can clear and inspect the house line; the tank and drain field are serviced by companies that specialize in onsite systems.
Homes outside town limits in the 30277 area may have other water providers.
Before the plumber arrives
- Main valve closed for any supply leak
- For a drain backup, stop all water use, including laundry and dishwashers
- Water heater off if it is leaking
- Breakers off in wet rooms
- Know roughly where the tank is if you are not on sewer
