Sewer Line Repair and Camera Inspection in Carrollton, TX
Carrollton's sewer policy, written for residents, leaves the whole sewer service line, from the building to past the point where it joins the city main, to the property owner. Pipe InterTech inspects and repairs that line for restaurants and other commercial buildings: we put a camera through it, repair it by lining where the pipe allows, and rehabilitate and coat manholes.
Who maintains the sewer service line in Carrollton
Carrollton's Sewer Stoppage Policy, in effect since November 1, 2002, is plain about it. The City maintains the sewer mains in the public right-of-way and public utility easements; property owners maintain all service lines from the City mains to their property, and the City cannot use public funds for repairs on private property. In the City's words, there is no such thing as a "City side" on a lateral service line.
There is one exception. In Carrollton, plumbers may not dig up a service line in the public right-of-way; only Carrollton Public Works repairs there. Before the City excavates and repairs a structural defect in the right-of-way, the owner has to provide a video of the line showing that defect; Carrollton's Wastewater Supervisor reviews it, and if it shows a structural defect, Carrollton Public Works repairs that section at no cost. The policy is written for residents, so ask Carrollton Public Works (972-466-3425) how it applies to a commercial property. To have the City check the right-of-way, contact Public Works at 972-466-3425 and request a sewer service call; if a sewer crew is called out, Carrollton charges a $75 sewer service call fee during business hours and $150 after hours. If you see sewage in the street, or neighbors have stoppages at the same time, the policy says to call the City's 24-hour emergency number, 972-466-3425, right away: there may be a stoppage in the City's main. A sewer camera inspection shows where the defect is, and whether the line on your property can be lined instead of dug up.
