Plumbers in the core Atlanta metro

What the core metro homeowners are up against

Soil & slab leaks. In-town homes sit on iron-rich red clay and, in spots, granite — the clay shifts and cracks under-slab pipes while rock makes leaks harder to reach.

Hard water. Core-metro water is moderately hard from surface sources, hard enough to scale water heaters and fixtures over time — periodic flushing helps.

Sewer & drains. Older DeKalb and Atlanta homes still run cast-iron and vitrified-clay sewer lines that corrode, crack and collapse, and tree roots invade the joints.

Freeze & burst pipes. The core metro takes hard winter freezes — the December 2022 freeze burst pipes across in-town Atlanta, especially older homes with pipes in crawlspaces and exterior walls.
