Who repairs a broken sewer line in Braselton, GA?
Braselton's Public Works department runs the town sewer and checks its mains; after hours it answers at (678) 283-0437. Service lines are built to town standards with a cleanout at the property line. Atlanta Water & Sewage Solutions cameras the private lateral, finds the break and repairs it, for homes and businesses.↗↗

The Braselton story
Four counties, one set of pipe rules
Braselton's streets run through Jackson, Barrow, Gwinnett and Hall counties. For sewer that barely matters: the town owns the collection system and plant, and its November 2022 standards govern every lateral no matter which county the house is in.↗↗
What varies is the ground. The survey maps steep, eroded Gwinnett clay loam on the town's west side. On a hill, a lateral may drop several feet between house and street, which changes how deep we dig and how a new section is bedded.↗
The houses are young. The median one here was built in 2011, so we see settled joints, sags and crushed spots under driveways far more often than rotted clay tile.↗
- Braselton's specifications call for a property-line cleanout on each service line, more cleanouts no more than 80 feet apart, and one at every 45° or 90° bend.↗

More about Braselton
Homes and businesses need different plans
For a house, the job is usually one lateral and one family waiting on a working toilet. We camera it, locate the fault, repair that stretch, and leave the yard graded so the next storm doesn't wash the trench out on a slope.
A restaurant or office along the Highway 53 corridor is different. Work gets scheduled around business hours, grease is often part of the blockage, and a line under a parking lot means saw-cutting and patching asphalt. When a building needs more capacity rather than a repair, the town's fee schedule treats it by equivalent dwelling units, and projects that bought capacity after September 2022 also carry a lift-station fee.↗↗
Either way, we start by confirming the town main is flowing, because Public Works owns that side and a repair on the wrong segment wastes everyone's money.

FAQ
Braselton sewer line repair questions
Straight answers, with the rule or record behind them. Still unsure? Call and ask the crew that digs.
(678) 863-5620Who do I call first if my Braselton sewer backs up?
Call Braselton Public Works, at (678) 283-0437 after hours, so the town can check its main. If the main flows, the fault is in your service line and we can take it from there.
Does it matter which county my Braselton home is in?
Not for sewer. The town runs one system across all four of its counties, and the same construction standards apply to every lateral.

Where is my Braselton sewer cleanout?
Town standards place one at the property line, typically in a plastic box near the curb, with others along the line and at sharp bends.

What does it cost to connect a new house to Braselton sewer?
The town's fee is $7,500 per dwelling unit, effective September 10, 2024, and the same amount is the floor for small buildings. Building the lateral is a separate contractor cost.

Will the plant expansion affect my service?
It adds treatment capacity at the plant, roughly doubling it to about 2.5 million gallons a day. It does not change who repairs a private lateral.
Do you repair commercial sewer lines in Braselton?
Yes. We camera, jet and repair service lines for shops, offices and restaurants as well as homes, and coordinate with Public Works where a main is involved.
Why do laterals fail in such new neighborhoods?
Settling fill, sags on steep lots and pipe crushed under driveways are the usual causes in houses built in the last fifteen years.
