Hydro Jetting in Tyrone, GA

Hydro jetting in Tyrone uses a pressurized water nozzle to clean grease, soap, sludge and roots from a drain line, whether it runs to the town sewer or to a private onsite system. It's used when a cable has opened a line that keeps clogging. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Tyrone.

Is my Tyrone home on sewer?

Maybe not. The Town of Tyrone runs a sewer system with a limited service area: its lines serve specific developments, and the mayor has said some existing homes have no access to sewer. Southampton and Rivercrest were approved for town sewer service; many other homes are not on municipal sewer and use private onsite wastewater systems. Water comes from Fayette County Water System, which maintains the mains. If you aren't sure, check whether your bills include a sewer charge.

How does jetting help in each case?

On a sewered home, a plumber jets the building drain and lateral toward the town's line, clearing grease, soap and any roots. On a home with a private system, jetting clears the line from the house to the tank. It doesn't pump the tank or fix a drain field, so if every fixture is slow and the line turns out to be clear, the onsite system needs separate attention. Census survey figures put Tyrone's median home at 2000, with about 13% built before 1980, so most lines are plastic, where clogs come from grease and wipes more than from pipe failure.

Is a permit needed?

Not for cleaning. A repair is permitted through the Town of Tyrone Building Department, whose permits and inspections are handled by SAFEbuilt through Community Core. Plumbing trade permits are among those the town issues, and inspections can be scheduled at (770) 474-9393.

A local note

Tyrone sits in the northwest corner of Fayette County along roads like Senoia Road and Castlewood Road, with many larger lots where the run from house to tank or sewer can be long. Tell the plumber which kind of system you have and roughly where the cleanout is. Until they arrive, cut back on water use, especially laundry.

On cost, the main factors are access, the length of the run, how much buildup is inside, whether a camera inspection is added and the time of the visit. When you call the number on this page, an independent plumber who serves Tyrone will ask which drains are affected and whether the line has been cleaned or the tank pumped recently.

Hydro Jetting questions in Tyrone

Can a plumber jet the line on a property that isn't on municipal sewer?

Yes, the line from the house to the tank can be jetted. Many Tyrone homes outside sewered developments are on private onsite systems; the tank and drain field are separate maintenance.

Should I call the sewer utility or a plumber when sewage backs up?

Only homes in sewered developments have a town line to report. If yours is on a private system, or only your house is affected, call a plumber.

Would a newer house with PVC drain pipe ever need jetting?

Yes. Tyrone's median home was built in 2000; plastic drains still collect grease and wipes.

Does jetting a sewer line require a permit?

Cleaning doesn't need one. Repairs need a plumbing trade permit from the Town of Tyrone, handled by SAFEbuilt.
