What Cottontown houses mean for the pipe underneath
The earliest houses of the seventies may still have Orangeburg; the rest have early PVC or ABS that holds up in the run but has spent forty-odd years in shifting clay, so the camera tends to find a separated joint or a sag near the foundation.
Out past the sewer mains, a house sends its waste to a septic tank and a field in the yard, and most of our work there is pumping, inspecting and repairing those instead of clearing a city lateral.
A lot of houses from the late 1940s through the 1960s drain through Orangeburg, tar-soaked wood fiber that softens and squeezes into an oval under the soil, so the line is burst or dug out, because a liner would cure to the flattened shape.
A shop, a barn apartment or a pool house with its own bathroom has its own drain line, often long and shallow and sometimes ending at a small ejector pump, and those lines get forgotten until one backs up.
On a property with both a well and a septic system, the field has to stay the distance from the well that the state permit sets, and any repair or new field is laid out with that distance measured on the ground.

Why Cottontown homes call us about their drains
Past the reach of the sewer mains, much of rural Maury, Robertson, Cheatham, Sumner, Wilson, Rutherford and Williamson counties runs on septic laid in clay that takes water slowly. A field in that soil saturates in a wet spring, and the first sign is often a sluggish drain inside the house.
- A sump pit that refills seconds after the pump stops
- Water rising in the tub when a toilet flushes
- A floor drain that gurgles as the washer empties
- The lowest drain in the house backing up first
Closing on a house without a scope. Most home inspections stop at the fixtures. In Metro Nashville the owner is responsible for the sewer line from the house out to the public main, and a scope before closing is the only look at it you get while it is still the seller’s.
