Many Georgia homes sit on crawl spaces. Pipes there can freeze in a cold snap and leak out of sight.
Older neighborhoods in Atlanta, Savannah, Macon and Augusta have clay and cast iron sewer lines under big trees. Roots find the joints.
Suburbs north of Atlanta are newer. In Woodstock, Canton and Roswell, water heaters and pressure regulators are the usual jobs.
Water and sewer providers change from place to place. Decatur gets both from DeKalb County. Sandy Springs gets Atlanta water and Fulton County sewer service.
Permits come from each city. Augusta requires one for all plumbing work, even a water heater. In Atlanta, some permits can be filed online.
Savannah's low streets flood in storms and high tides, which can back up drains.
