Proudly serving Atlanta and the surrounding communities

Plumber in North Metro, GA

We provide reliable plumbing services in North Metro, GA, helping homeowners fix leaks, clogs, and repairs quickly and efficiently.

The North Metro area covers a stretch of southwestern Gwinnett County along the Peachtree Industrial Boulevard corridor. It includes neighborhoods between Duluth, Peachtree Corners, Norcross, and Suwanee, near major routes like Satellite Boulevard, Pleasant Hill Road, and Boggs Road. Most homes in this area were built during the 1980s and 1990s suburban building boom, which puts them at 30 to 40 years old. That is exactly the age when plumbing systems start to show their age.

Plumbing Express has served Metro Atlanta since 2007 with over 35 years of combined experience. Our office is located nearby on Presidential Drive in the 30340 ZIP code, which means fast response times for North Metro residents. Our 4.9-star rating backed by 1,999+ reviews is proof we get the job done right.

Plumbing Problems We See in North Metro Homes

The North Metro area sits in the heart of Gwinnett County’s 1980s and 1990s growth corridor. Subdivisions went up fast during that era, and many were plumbed with materials that have since proven unreliable. Here is what our plumbers find most often.

Polybutylene pipe failures

This is the number one issue in North Metro. The vast majority of homes built between 1978 and 1995 in this part of Gwinnett County were plumbed with polybutylene water lines. This gray plastic pipe reacts with chlorine in treated water and degrades from the inside. Pinhole leaks, cracked fittings, and sudden pipe bursts are common results. A full home repipe is the only permanent fix. We specialize in polybutylene replacement and finish most homes in two to three days.

Slab leaks

Many North Metro homes sit on concrete slab foundations. Water supply lines beneath the slab can develop leaks from soil shifting, pipe corrosion, or friction against the concrete. Warning signs include warm spots on floors, the sound of running water with all fixtures off, and an unexplained jump in your water bill. Our slab leak detection service pinpoints the exact location without destructive guesswork.

Hard water and water heater strain

Gwinnett County water contains moderate mineral content that accelerates sediment buildup inside tank water heaters. That sediment reduces heating efficiency, causes popping or rumbling sounds, and shortens the tank’s lifespan. If your water heater is leaking from the base, producing lukewarm water, or running out faster than it used to, we install both tank water heaters and tankless systems sized for your household.

Tree root intrusion

Established North Metro neighborhoods have mature trees whose root systems seek out moisture in sewer and drain lines. Roots enter through hairline cracks or loosened joints, then grow until they block the pipe. Signs include slow drains, gurgling toilets, and sewage odors near cleanouts. We clear roots with hydrojetting and inspect the pipe with a sewer camera to determine whether sewer line replacement is needed.

Aging copper supply lines

Homes from the mid-1990s and early 2000s in this corridor were often plumbed with copper water lines. While copper outlasts polybutylene, it is not permanent. Aggressive water chemistry and high water pressure cause pinhole leaks to form along copper runs, often behind walls or in ceilings. We handle leak detection and copper repipe services to address the problem at its source.

Clogged drains and sewer backups

Tree roots, grease buildup, and mineral deposits restrict flow in older drain lines. A plunger or chemical product will not clear a root blockage. Our drain cleaning crew uses hydrojetting to scour the pipe walls and a camera to verify the line is clear.

Plumbing Services We Provide in North Metro

One call covers every plumbing need in your home.

Repairs and Installations

Our trucks carry common parts so most repairs finish in a single visit. We handle faucet repair, faucet installation, toilet repair, toilet installation, leak repair, leak detection, garbage disposal repair, and water line repair.

A slow kitchen drain or a toilet that backs up after rain points to a deeper blockage. Our drain cleaning team goes beyond basic snaking. We use hydrojetting to scour pipe walls and a camera to confirm the line is clear. For damaged lines, we handle full sewer drain replacement. Emergency drain service runs 24/7.

Repiping is our specialty. We remove failing polybutylene, galvanized, or aging copper systems and replace them with PEX-A or CPVC. Our repipe process is turn-key: new pipes installed, drywall patched, and computer-matched paint applied. Most North Metro homes are finished in two to three days. Every repipe includes a 30-year warranty on materials. Request your free repipe quote to get started.

Gas line installation and gas line repair for stoves, dryers, fireplaces, outdoor grills, pool heaters, and gas water heaters. All gas work meets Gwinnett County code and passes inspection.

Plumbing Express was great. I had a failed sump pump that had partially overflowed into the basement. Nasty. Josh was the tech that did the work. He was efficient, neat and courteous. I will use Plumbing Express if I have any other plumbing needs and I will recommend them to my family and friends.

Ron was our second plumber from this company. The first plumber came, examined pipes and said he found no leak, even though we had experiences a large amount of water leaking from the ceiling in the finished basement. Several days later we had another leak-same area but less water the second time. Ron came in, listened to our frustration and did a more thorough inspection of the pipes and identified the problem. He was very personable and professional. On his third visit, we had several replacement pipes installed and are without leaks again. Our frustration, with the situation, was my son had used your company to replace pipes when he purchased the home and founding out not all the pipes were included with that process.

Called Plumbing Express as tankless hot water not operating. Their website states "Get Free Plumbing Quote ". When service man showed up an looked at unit he said there would be a $207 charge to look into unit in order to give me a quote to fix unit. Due to not having hot water and time required to get another company to address the problem I agreed to pay $207 for quote. After looking in unit I was told he would not be able to fix due to age of unit and parts not available. I think he should have said parts not available when seeing model number on front of unit and I would not have wasted $207.

Plumbing Express is my go-to plumbing support team. They have fair pricing, well-vetted technicians, and a truly exceptional scheduling system. Rod, my technician, was the best. He quickly assessed the problem and gave a fair estimate, working hard to keep to the schedule. He even brought Josh along on the day of service, and the two of them worked well together. They addressed the bathtub drain repair with expertise and caused the least sheetrock damage. It was difficult to replace the broken pipe and get to the upstairs drain, but together they made it a success.

Dylan from Plumbing Express came over and replaced our garbage disposal for us. It was older, had a massive leak, and needed to be replaced. He did a great job and was in and out in about 30 minutes! I also asked him to check out a potential leak I had been hearing in my ceiling. He used a thermal camera to investigate and was very honest and upfront about what he found. Rather than immediately cutting into the drywall to confirm something uncertain, he explained that the sound could simply be pipes expanding and that opening the wall might be unnecessary. He recommended monitoring the area and waiting to see if a wet spot appears, which would clearly indicate an actual leak. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary work. Overall, great service and a great guy. They will definitely be our go-to plumbing service from now on.

Once again we had some problems under our kitchen sink so we called Plumbing Express who were able to get us on their schedule pretty quickly after these storms Tim Robinson came out to do the job. Tim has been to our house for a number of different plumbing problems. He is personable & professional. As usual he did a great job even though this particular problem turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had expected. As frustrating as it was, Tim worked through it until he finished the job. We can't thank him enough.
