Sewer line repair near you in Atlanta
A 1910s bungalow in Virginia-Highland, a post-war ranch in East Atlanta and a wooded lot in Buckhead have very different sewer lines under them. These pages explain what is local about each area: the housing era, the likely pipe, the trees and terrain, and which utility runs the public sewer.
Brookhaven and other DeKalb County areas outside the city are on DeKalb County's sewer system, not Atlanta's.

City and county lines
Inside the City of Atlanta, and next to it
Most of the neighborhoods on these pages are inside the City of Atlanta, where the public sewer is run by the city's Department of Watershed Management. That includes neighborhoods that sit in DeKalb County, such as Kirkwood, Candler Park and East Atlanta, because the city limits, not the county, decide which sewer system serves a street.
Brookhaven is different. It became a separate city in 2012 and, like most of DeKalb County outside Atlanta, is served by DeKalb County's sewer system. Some Historic Brookhaven streets are inside Atlanta's city limits, so it is worth confirming your address.
In every area, the private lateral from the house to the public sewer is generally the property owner's responsibility. Coverage is based on the contractor network's current ZIP code coverage for the Atlanta area, which can change; if your neighborhood is not listed, call and the contractor will tell you whether they can help.
