Your sewer line carries every drop of wastewater from the house to the city main or septic tank. Roots, shifting soil, and age can crack, sag, or crush it. We show you camera footage of the problem. Then we explain your repair options and the total price for each.
Wastewater is coming up at the lowest drain because the main line cannot carry it out. Stop using water and call.
Roots or a broken section keep catching waste. A camera inspection shows whether the pipe needs repair.
A cracked line can release gas into the soil or back into the home. Persistent odors need inspection.
Leaking sewage feeds grass and softens soil. A dip in the lawn can mean the pipe has collapsed.
Air pushed back through a partly blocked main line causes gurgling. It is often an early warning sign.
Roots found in a cleared line mean they entered through a joint or crack. They will grow back.
Rats and insects can use broken sewer pipe as a pathway. It is a less common but real sign.

Full sewer line replacement is coming soon. Today we handle sewer line repairs, camera inspections and clog clearing.
| Camera sewer inspection | 1–2 hoursTypically includes locating the damaged section from above ground. |
|---|---|
| Spot repair of one section | About one full dayTypically depends on depth and what sits above the pipe. |
| Root clearing in the main line | 2–3 hoursTypically depends on cleanout access and how dense the roots are. |
Typical times. Your plumber confirms the plan and timing after diagnosis.
Sewer line costs vary with the damage, pipe depth, and repair method. After the camera inspection, your plumber gives you a full menu of options and the total cost before any work begins. If the line is too damaged to repair, your plumber will tell you honestly.
| Extent of damage | One cracked joint costs less than a collapsed or badly sagging line. |
|---|---|
| Number of damaged spots | Each break or root entry point adds digging and repair time. |
| Line depth and length | Deeper and longer lines take more time to reach and repair. |
| What sits above | Driveways, patios, and mature trees change the access plan. |

Tree roots are one of the most common sewer problems we see in Fayette and Coweta Counties. Mature oaks and pines send roots toward the moisture in sewer pipe joints. Georgia's red clay adds stress too, swelling in wet seasons and shrinking in droughts. Over years, that movement can crack or shift buried pipe.
Sewer service varies across the region. Newnan Utilities and the Coweta County Water and Sewerage Authority serve many Coweta homes. Many Fayette County properties use septic systems permitted by the Fayette County Health Department. Either way, the line from your house is your responsibility. A camera inspection shows where the problem sits.
Large hardwoods and pines near sewer lines are a leading cause of repeat backups.
Wet and dry cycles in red clay can shift buried pipe and open joints.
We confirm where your line ends, so repairs target the right section.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing repairs sewer lines for homes in Newnan and across Fayette and Coweta Counties. We start with a camera inspection, clear roots and clogs, and fix cracked or broken sections. You see the footage and the total price before any work begins.
Roots grow toward the water and nutrients inside sewer pipe. They slip through small cracks or loose joints, then expand and trap waste. Clearing roots helps for a while, but they return. A camera inspection shows the entry point, so you can decide between ongoing cleaning and repairing that section.
Call a licensed plumber first. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Fayette-Coweta is based in Tyrone, answers the phone 24/7, and doesn't charge after-hour fees. We clear the line, then inspect it with a camera. If your home uses septic, we'll tell you whether the problem is the line or the tank.
Generally, the homeowner is responsible for the line from the house to the public sewer connection, and the utility handles the main. Exact boundaries vary by provider. Check with your sewer provider, such as Newnan Utilities or the Coweta County Water and Sewerage Authority, to confirm where your responsibility ends.
A camera inspection answers that question. One cracked joint or a small root entry point can often be spot-repaired. Long stretches of cracked, sagging, or collapsed pipe may need full replacement. Full sewer line replacement is coming soon for us. Your plumber shows you the footage and tells you honestly what the pipe needs.
Some sewer line jobs need a permit, but requirements vary by jurisdiction. Check with your city or county building department, such as Fayette County, Coweta County, Peachtree City, or Newnan. Your plumber can explain what inspection steps usually apply to the type of work you choose.
Keep grease, wipes, and paper towels out of drains, even wipes labeled flushable. Plant new trees well away from the sewer line. If you have had root clogs before, ask about periodic cleaning. Adding an outdoor cleanout also makes future clearing faster and avoids pulling a toilet.
Stop running water, flushing toilets, and using the washer or dishwasher. Keep children and pets away from wastewater, since it can carry bacteria. Then call us 24/7. We don't charge after-hour fees, and your plumber will clear the line and explain the next steps once flow is restored.
