Common Plumbing Problems in Johns Creek Homes
Johns Creek gets its water from Fulton County's North Fulton system, which also serves Alpharetta, Milton and Roswell. The source is the Chattahoochee River, treated at the Tom Lowe plant on Spruill Road in Johns Creek.
The county has reported a musty or earthy taste north of the river at times, which it ties to seasonal turnover in Lake Lanier and says is not a health risk. The median Johns Creek home was built in 1995.
Earthy Taste in the Water
When the county reports a musty or earthy taste, the cause is in the source water and the plant adjusts its carbon treatment. It is not your plumbing. The county suggests a home carbon filter, such as a pitcher filter, if the taste bothers you. A plumber can fit an under-sink filter if you want one at the tap.
Signs the Pressure Regulator Has Failed
- Pipes bang when a tap or the washer shuts off.
- The relief valve on the water heater drips.
- Toilet fill valves and supply hoses fail early.
- A gauge on a hose bib reads above 80 psi.
Water Heater Replacement
Homes from the 1990s are on their second tank or due for a third.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in Johns Creek
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in Johns Creek.
- Finished basements. Opening and patching drywall adds to a leak repair.
- Heater type. Switching from a tank to tankless can need gas or venting changes.
- Finding the problem. Leak locating and camera inspections are separate steps, but they keep the repair itself small.
- Time of day. Many companies charge an after-hours, weekend or holiday fee.
- Ask for the arrival fee before the plumber heads out, and for the repair price in writing before work starts.
