Common Plumbing Problems in South Fulton Homes
South Fulton does not run its own water system. City documents describe water service from the City of Atlanta and sewer from Fulton County, and Atlanta's Department of Watershed Management issues boil water notices for the area.
Not every street has sewer. Fulton County has been extending sanitary sewer to parts of the city that never had it. The median South Fulton home was built in 2003.
Sewer or Septic?
Check your bill. If you pay a sewer charge, the house is on county sewer and a backup is a pipe problem. If not, you have a septic tank. Slow drains throughout, gurgling toilets and wet ground over the tank mean stop using water and have it checked. See sewer backup.
During a Boil Water Notice
- Boil water for drinking and cooking for 1 minute.
- Do not use the ice maker until the notice lifts.
- Afterward, run cold taps for a few minutes and change fridge filters.
- Low pressure after a main break usually clears on its own.
Water Heater Replacement
Tanks from the late 1990s and 2000s are due or overdue.
What Affects Plumbing Costs in South Fulton
No plumber can quote a firm price before seeing the problem. These are the things that move the cost of plumbing work in South Fulton.
- Septic or sewer. A septic problem can need a pumping company as well as a plumber.
- Slab access. Rerouting overhead and opening the floor are priced differently.
- 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.
