Toma Tomov
Writer and editor of Georgia Sewer Guide.
Toma Tomov runs Georgia Sewer Guide as an independent publisher based in Georgia, United States. Toma researches, writes and edits the guides.
What Toma covers
Practical sewer and drain questions for Georgia homeowners: what to do in a sewer backup, how to tell where a clog is, which cleaning method fits which problem, who is responsible for which part of the sewer line, how to check and hire a licensed plumber, how insurance treats backups, and how to look after a septic system.
How Toma researches
The guides are built on official sources: Georgia agencies such as the Secretary of State's licensing boards, the Department of Public Health and the Department of Community Affairs; the utilities' own rules; Georgia statutes; federal agencies such as the EPA, CDC and OSHA; the plumbing code; and equipment manufacturers' documentation. Sources are listed at the end of every guide. Drafts may be prepared with AI writing tools; Toma checks each guide against its sources and edits it before publication.
Toma is not a licensed plumber and the guides do not claim trade credentials, field experience or testing. They explain what the official sources say and help you ask the right questions of the professionals who do the work. Read the Editorial Policy for the full process.
