Common plumbing problems in Alpharetta homes
Polybutylene supply lines starting to leak
Gray polybutylene pipe went into many of Alpharetta's late-'80s and '90s subdivisions and cracks at the fittings. We confirm it and repipe in PEX before it fails inside a wall.
Chlorine taste and smell, or grit in the aerators
North Fulton's water is soft, so a softener is the wrong purchase here - what you're noticing is the chlorine used to disinfect it, or sediment stirred up when a main is worked on. A point-of-entry filter sized to a test handles both.
Fixtures that wear out fast and pipes that bang
Many Alpharetta subdivisions sit on high-pressure mains. When the pressure-reducing valve fails, the whole house - fixtures, supply lines, water heater - pays for it.
A warm spot on the floor or a spike in the water bill
The signs of a slab leak under a slab-built 1990s–2000s Alpharetta home. We locate it non-invasively before it reaches the foundation.
Septic-side drains backing up
Some of Alpharetta's outer and larger-lot homes are still on septic. We clear and repair the house side and tell you plainly when the drain field is the problem.
Adding a gas range, dryer, or generator
A new gas line on the Atlanta Gas Light system, permitted through the City of Alpharetta and inspected to code - our second specialty alongside plumbing.

About the area
Your Local Plumber in Alpharetta, GA
Alpharetta filled in fast during the 1990s and 2000s boom - Windward, Nesbit Lakes, and the subdivisions along the GA-400 corridor - and a good share of those homes were piped in polybutylene. Replacing failing pipe and taming the high street pressure that comes with the terrain out here are among the the calls we run across these GA-400-corridor subdivisions.
As those homes upgrade kitchens and add backup power, feeding a gas range, dryer, or standby generator with a new line on the Atlanta Gas Light system - permitted through the City of Alpharetta - is steady work alongside the repairs.
Alpharetta is one of the north Fulton communities we cover from our Lilburn shop up the GA-400 corridor - far enough that we’ll give you an honest arrival window, and still move active leaks to the front of the day.

What our Alpharetta customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta based in Alpharetta?
We're based in Lilburn (30047) and cover Alpharetta and the rest of north Fulton across Metro Atlanta, up the GA-400 corridor. When you call you reach a licensed master plumber, not a dispatcher, and because Alpharetta is toward the north end of our range we'll quote you an honest arrival window rather than overpromise.
Do you fix or replace polybutylene piping in Alpharetta subdivisions?
Yes. Polybutylene supply pipe - usually gray - went into a lot of Alpharetta's late-1980s and 1990s subdivisions, including the Windward era, and tends to split at its fittings, which is why it was discontinued and is no longer code-approved. We verify what you have and repipe the home in PEX so you're not chasing one fitting leak after another.
Do I need a water softener in Alpharetta?
Almost certainly not. North Fulton's water comes off the Chattahoochee and runs soft - around 1 to 1.5 grains per gallon - so the softener that made sense at a house in the Midwest or Texas solves a problem you don't have here. What homeowners actually notice is the chlorine used to disinfect the water, or sediment stirred up after work on a main. Both are a filtration question, not a softening one, and we test before recommending any equipment.
Do you work on Alpharetta homes that are on septic?
Yes. Most in-city Alpharetta neighborhoods are on sewer, but some outer and larger-lot homes are still on septic. We handle the plumbing side - the house drains and the line out to the tank - and when the trouble is the tank or drain field itself, we'll tell you straight so you can bring in a septic contractor.
Who handles water, sewer, and permits in Alpharetta?
Water and sewer in Alpharetta are run by Fulton County Public Works, and the City of Alpharetta issues plumbing permits and inspections. The county owns the meter and the public mains; everything past your meter - supply lines, drains, fixtures, and the water heater - is a licensed plumber's job, and we pull permits where the work requires them.
Do you install gas lines in Alpharetta, GA?
Yes. On the Atlanta Gas Light system we run new lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, and standby generators, permitted through the City of Alpharetta and inspected to Georgia code. We also handle gas leak detection and repair - it's our second specialty alongside plumbing.
