Common plumbing problems in Brookhaven homes
Water pressure down to a trickle
Galvanized steel supply lines in Historic Brookhaven's pre-war estates and the mid-century bungalow streets corrode shut from the inside. A repipe in PEX or copper brings the flow back.
Recurring main-line backups
Cast-iron and clay sewer laterals under Ashford Park, Brookhaven Fields, and Drew Valley crack at the joints and catch tree roots. We camera the line first and fix only the failed section.
Sewage backing up or surfacing in heavy rain
DeKalb's aging sewer system - under a federal consent decree over overflows - can surcharge in storms. We camera your lateral and check the backflow valve to find where it's getting in.
Slow drains and worn-out fixtures
Decades-old cast-iron stacks and original fixtures in Brookhaven's older homes scale, corrode, and leak. We repair or replace what's failing without over-selling a full redo.
No hot water
Tank heaters past 10–12 years tend to fail without warning. We diagnose and repair or replace, often the same day.
Adding a gas range, dryer, or generator
A new gas line on the Atlanta Gas Light system, permitted through the City of Brookhaven and inspected to code - our second specialty alongside plumbing.

About the area
Your Local Plumber in Brookhaven, GA
Brookhaven mixes the 1910s–’20s estates of Historic Brookhaven with the 1940s and ’50s bungalow streets of Ashford Park, Brookhaven Fields, and Drew Valley. Galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains run through most of them, so corroded pipe and root-caught laterals are among the the repairs we run across Ashford Park, Brookhaven Fields, and Drew Valley.
The City of Brookhaven has issued its own permits since incorporating in 2012 - required even to swap a water heater, and the same goes for tapping a gas line for a range, dryer, or generator on the Atlanta Gas Light system. Water and sewer stay with DeKalb County Watershed Management, so everything past your meter is ours.
Brookhaven is one of the DeKalb County communities we cover from our Lilburn shop - close to home for us - so an active leak or a backed-up line gets same-day attention whenever the schedule allows.
Not sure whether it's an emergency? Tell us what's happening and we'll often gauge how urgent it is over the phone before you book a visit - no obligation. Call 770-398-STAR.

What our Brookhaven customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta based in Brookhaven?
We're based in Lilburn (30047), in the same DeKalb-and-Gwinnett corridor, and cover Brookhaven across Metro Atlanta. When you call you reach a licensed master plumber, not a call center - someone who works these older DeKalb homes every week and knows them by build era.
In Brookhaven, do I call the city, the county, or a plumber for a water problem?
Water and sewer service in Brookhaven is run by the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management, so the meter and the public mains are theirs - call the county for billing or a street-side main issue. The City of Brookhaven, incorporated in 2012, handles permitting. Everything on your side of the meter - leaks, drains, water heaters, and fixtures - is a licensed plumber's job.
Do you work on Historic Brookhaven and the older bungalow neighborhoods?
Yes - it's routine here. Historic Brookhaven's estates date to the 1910s and '20s, while Ashford Park, Brookhaven Fields, and Lynwood Park are largely 1940s and '50s. Most still run on galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains, and original fixtures. We diagnose what you have and repipe, re-line, or replace what's actually failing.
Sewage backs up whenever it rains hard - is that my pipe or DeKalb's sewer?
It can be either. DeKalb County's sewer system is aging and under a federal consent decree over sanitary sewer overflows, so the public main sometimes surcharges in heavy rain. We camera your lateral and check your backflow valve to pin down whether the fault is on your side or the county's - then fix yours and document theirs.
Do you pull permits for plumbing work in Brookhaven?
Yes. Inside the Brookhaven city limits, the City of Brookhaven issues its own plumbing permits - separate from the DeKalb County utility, and required even to replace a water heater. A few streets carrying a Brookhaven name sit inside the City of Atlanta instead, so we confirm which office your address falls under before pulling anything. When work needs a permit we pull it and coordinate the inspection so your system stays code-compliant and insurable.
Do you install gas lines in Brookhaven, GA?
Yes. On the Atlanta Gas Light system we run new lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, and standby generators, permitted through the City of Brookhaven and inspected to Georgia code, and we handle gas leak detection and repair. Gas work is our second specialty alongside plumbing.
