Plumber in Empire Square, GA
We provide dependable plumbing services in Empire Square, GA, helping homeowners fix leaks, clogs, and repairs quickly and efficiently.
Empire Square is one of Tucker’s most established swim-and-tennis neighborhoods, tucked south of Henderson Road off Peppermint Drive in DeKalb County. Most of the original homes here were built in the mid-to-late 1960s. That makes the typical plumbing system in Empire Square close to 60 years old. Some homes have been renovated or rebuilt over the decades, adding newer piping to an older foundation. Either way, our team knows these systems inside and out.
Plumbing Express has served Metro Atlanta since 2007 with over 35 years of combined plumbing experience. Our 4.9-star rating backed by 1,999+ reviews tells you what your neighbors in Tucker already know: we do honest work at a fair price.
Plumbing Problems Common in Empire Square Homes
Empire Square sits in the 30084 ZIP code, minutes from I-285 and Henderson Park. The homes here range from original 1960s ranches and split-levels to newer infill construction built through the 2000s and 2010s. That age spread creates specific plumbing challenges our team handles every week.
The original homes on Regency Drive, Emperor Way, and Peppermint Drive were plumbed with cast iron sewer and drain pipes. After 55 to 60 years in the ground, these pipes corrode from the inside, develop cracks, and collapse under the weight of DeKalb County’s clay soil. Signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, and sewage odors near floor drains or cleanouts. We inspect these lines with a sewer camera and recommend repair or full sewer line replacement based on what we find.
Homes built in the 1960s were commonly plumbed with galvanized steel water supply lines. After five to six decades, internal corrosion builds up and narrows the pipe. Water pressure drops room by room, and rusty brown water appears when you first turn on a faucet in the morning. The only lasting fix is a full home repipe with modern PEX-A or copper piping.
Renovations and additions completed between 1978 and 1995 may include polybutylene water lines. This gray plastic pipe reacts with chlorine in treated municipal water and degrades from the inside. Pinhole leaks, cracked fittings, and sudden pipe bursts follow. We specialize in polybutylene replacement and can swap the full system in two to three days.
Empire Square’s large, wooded half-acre lots are one of the neighborhood’s best features. But those mature trees send roots toward sewer and drain lines in search of moisture. Roots enter through hairline cracks or pipe joints, then grow until they block the line. We clear roots with hydrojetting and inspect the pipe with a camera to determine whether sewer drain replacement is needed.
Many of Empire Square’s original ranch-style homes sit on concrete slab foundations. Water supply lines beneath the slab can develop leaks due to 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 unexplained jumps in your water bill. Our slab leak detection service pinpoints the exact location without tearing up your floors.
Many Empire Square homes have been updated over the decades. Some renovations kept portions of the original galvanized or copper piping while adding newer PEX lines. That patchwork creates weak points at transition fittings where different pipe materials meet. Our plumbers trace the full system, identify the weak links, and recommend targeted repairs or a complete repipe.
Plumbing Services We Provide in Empire Square
One call covers every plumbing need in your home. Here is what we bring to your door.
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 blockage deeper in the line. 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 cracked or collapsed lines, we handle full sewer line installation. Emergency drain service runs 24/7.
Repiping is our specialty. We remove failing galvanized, polybutylene, 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 Empire Square 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.
We install and repair both tank water heaters and tankless systems. Whether your unit is leaking from the base, producing lukewarm water, or making popping sounds, our plumbers size the replacement to your household and complete the work the same day.
Gas line installation and gas line repair for stoves, dryers, fireplaces, outdoor grills, and gas water heaters. All gas work meets DeKalb County code and passes inspection.

Service couldn’t be completed due to needing a new system. We appreciate the very informative visit as well as insight that could help after a new unit install.
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.
The technician was very knowledgeable and professional. I believe they did a very good job.
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.
Tim arrived on time and was very professional. He took his time to explain the problem and the process it would take fix the water line.
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.
Outstanding customer service, we will definitely be using them in the future for any plumbing needs. Can’t thank them enough!
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The team was excellent. The job was completed in 1 day with a great team. Very expressive.
Daniel Perez was great in coming out to check the problem I had with a water leak from my air conditioner line. His recommendation was correct.
Great and informative service while I was in a bind without a functioning water heater.
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.
Daniel did a great job and was very professional during his service call last week!
Rod and Josh did an awesome job taking care of my clogged sinks. Knowledgable, professional and great to work with - I really appreciated their help today and would highly recommend them and Plumbing Express!
Daniel was excellent. The work he did was simply superb. I highly recommend your company and hopefully Daniel will get more and more work
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.
Anthony was very competent, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions throughly. Highly recommend!
