Westside mixes newer PVC lines near Epps Bridge with older clay pipe off West Broad Street. We camera the line first, then plan the repair around the pipe material, depth, and tree roots.
Westside has grown fast. New commercial development around Epps Bridge Centre and Georgia Square Mall puts heavier loads on sewer mains, and the residential streets feeding those mains were not all built for it. Add a high water table in some low-lying sections and you get a recipe for joint failures, bellied pipe, and backups that show up without warning.

Every Sewer Line Repair service we offer is available in Westside, from emergency calls at 2 a.m. to scheduled maintenance for commercial properties.
The same jobs go differently from one place to the next. Here is what we plan for.
We push a camera from the cleanout and record the full run. You see the roots, cracks, or bellies before we quote anything. The footage stays on file for your records.
We cut roots with a root cutter, then camera the line to check for cracked joints. If the pipe is intact, we plan annual maintenance. If it is damaged, we plan the repair.
We dig small access pits instead of a full trench. This keeps driveways and mature trees in place. Most residential runs are done in one day.
We match the nozzle to the pipe material and jet at 4,000 PSI. Grease and scale come off the wall. We camera after to confirm the line is clean.
Westside has a specific set of conditions that cause sewer line problems. The soil moves, the trees are mature, and some of the pipe is old.
Clay pipe joints are not watertight. Roots find the gaps and grow into the pipe looking for water and nutrients.
The soil in Westside shifts with the water table.
Clay pipe was installed in sections with mortar or gaskets at the joints. Over time, the mortar crumbles and the gaskets fail.
Some older commercial and residential buildings in Westside have ductile iron or cast iron sewer lines.
Most sewer line problems do not fix themselves. They start small and get worse.
Westside is easy to navigate once you know the landmarks. We use Georgia Square Mall and Epps Bridge Centre as our main orientation points.

(706) 123-4567The final cost depends on the depth of the line, the repair method, and the extent of the damage. A simple root cutting and cleaning is on the low end. A full replacement with excavation is on the high end. We give you a written estimate before we start.
It depends on the scope of the work. Minor repairs like root cutting or a small section replacement may not require a permit. Full replacements and repairs that connect to the city main usually do. Clarke County requires permits for most sewer work that involves excavation. We handle the permit process for you.
The most common causes in Westside are tree root intrusion, bellied pipe from soil settling, and joint failure in older clay pipe. Grease clogs are common in commercial lines along Atlanta Highway. A camera inspection will tell you exactly what is causing your backup and what it will take to fix it.
Homeowners insurance typically does not cover sewer line repair unless the damage was caused by a specific covered event, like a tree falling on the line. Most policies exclude wear and tear, roots, and aging pipe. Some policies offer a sewer backup rider that covers cleanup but not the repair. Check your policy and call us for an estimate.
If you have a backup, a wet spot in the yard, or a drain that keeps clogging, call Athens Sewer Pros.
For non-emergency calls, we schedule same-day or next-day visits. Call us, describe what you are seeing, and we will give you a straight answer on what it takes to fix it.
