Trusted Plumbing Leak Repair in Lilburn, GA

It depends on where the leak is and what failed, but you always get a flat, upfront price before any work begins - no hourly meter. A visible fitting or supply-line leak is usually a modest fix; a leak hidden in a wall, ceiling, or slab costs more because of the access, which is exactly why pinpointing it precisely first keeps the bill down.

Usually a repair. One weeping joint or a single failed section on an otherwise sound copper or PEX line is a targeted fix. Replacement or a repipe only makes sense when the pipe material itself is failing - corroded galvanized, brittle polybutylene, or copper that keeps springing new pinholes - and we'll tell you honestly which one you're dealing with.

Pinholes come from corrosion working through the pipe wall from the inside, driven by water chemistry, high pressure, and age. The frustrating part is that the first pinhole is often a sign the rest of that run is thinning too, so if we're seeing repeat pinholes we'll walk you through whether repairing the spots or replacing the run is the better value.

We open only what we need to reach the leak and we close that access cleanly, but full drywall finishing and painting to match can be a separate scope - we'll tell you up front what's included versus what a drywall or restoration finish would add, so there are no surprises.

Leaks on your side of the meter are the homeowner's to repair, but Gwinnett County Water Resources does handle leak billing questions, and many Georgia utilities grant a one-time adjustment when you document a timely repair. We provide an invoice showing the leak and the fix so you can submit it to Customer Care - the credit is theirs to approve, but we make sure you have the paperwork.

Yes. A slow drip does two expensive things quietly: it wastes water around the clock - even a pinhole can run thousands of gallons a month - and it wicks into framing, subfloor, and drywall until you're paying for rot and mold instead of a quick repair. Catching it early is almost always the cheapest version of the problem.

Yes. When the leak is on the buried service line between the meter and the house - usually showing as a soggy strip or a greener line in the lawn - we locate the break and repair or replace the failed section, then restore the ground. If the line is old and failing along its length, we'll lay out replacement instead of a patch that leaks again.

We prioritize active leaks and dispatch same-day whenever the schedule allows. If water is spreading and you can't stop it, shut off the main at the meter or where the line enters the house, then call 770-398-STAR and we'll give you the soonest window.
