Sewer Camera Inspection in Creedmoor, NC

Is every Creedmoor house on SGWASA sewer?

Not necessarily. SGWASA's rules require a property to connect to public gravity sewer when a line is within 200 feet of the lot. Where no public sewer is accessible, the home uses a state- or locally approved onsite system instead, which means it is not on municipal sewer. Inside the city, most homes are connected. Toward the rural edges of ZIP 27522, it can go either way, and a sewer charge on your SGWASA bill is the simplest way to know. For a house on an onsite system, the camera inspects the pipe as far as the tank and does not evaluate the tank or drain field.

Where does the wastewater go?

SGWASA collects sewage from Creedmoor and treats it at its wastewater plant in Butner, which discharges to Knap of Reeds Creek. The authority maintains its mains and the plant. The building sewer on your lot is a private pipe, and a backup there is something you will want to diagnose before deciding on a fix. Note that SGWASA's published service rules describe the split point for water service lines at the property line; we did not find an equivalent statement for sewer, so ask SGWASA before paying for work near the street.

What does a camera usually turn up in a Creedmoor home?

Creedmoor, once known as Mule Town for its mule-trading and tobacco-market days, has grown into a suburb between Durham and Oxford. The median home was built in 1995, and about 30% predate 1980. In the newer subdivisions off US 15 and NC 56, typical findings are a low spot where trench soil settled, a joint that shifted, or wipes and grease caught at a bend. In older houses, clay or cast iron pipe may be letting roots in at the joints. The camera shows which situation you have and exactly where.
