Common plumbing problems in Marietta homes
Weak, rusty water in an older home
Galvanized steel supply lines in the homes around the Marietta Square corrode shut from the inside. A repipe in PEX or copper restores full flow.
Slow drains and gurgling in a historic house
The cast-iron waste stacks in Marietta's early-1900s homes scale and corrode, narrowing the pipe until everything drains slowly. We scope them and repair or replace what's failed.
Polybutylene supply lines starting to leak
Gray polybutylene went into many of East Cobb's 1980s and '90s subdivisions and cracks at the fittings. We confirm it and repipe in PEX before it lets go in a wall.
Recurring main-line backups
Clay and cast-iron sewer laterals under older Marietta and East Cobb lots crack and catch tree roots. We camera the line first, then fix only the failed section.
A warm spot on the floor or a spike in the water bill
The signs of a slab leak under an East Cobb slab-on-grade ranch. We pinpoint it non-invasively before it reaches the foundation.
Adding a gas range, dryer, or generator
A new gas line on the Atlanta Gas Light system, permitted through the City of Marietta or Cobb County and inspected - our second specialty alongside plumbing.

About the area
Your Local Plumber in Marietta, GA
Marietta runs from 1800s homes around the Square to the sprawl of 1970s–’90s subdivisions across East Cobb, with mid-century neighborhoods in between. Cast iron and galvanized in the old houses, polybutylene and clay laterals in the newer ones - getting ahead of failing pipe is among the repairs spanning the old Square and East Cobb’s subdivisions.
Whether your water comes from Marietta Power & Water inside the city or the Cobb County system just outside it, the work past your meter is the same - and so is carrying gas to a range, dryer, or standby generator on the Atlanta Gas Light system, permitted through the right office for your address.
Marietta is one of the Cobb County communities we cover from our Lilburn shop, out west across the top of the perimeter - far enough that we’ll quote you an honest arrival window, and still move active leaks to the front of the day.
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 Marietta customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta based in Marietta?
We're based in Lilburn (30047) and cover Marietta and the rest of Cobb County across Metro Atlanta, out west across the top of the perimeter. You reach a licensed master plumber when you call, not a dispatcher - and because Marietta is one of our longer runs, we'll quote you an honest arrival window rather than overpromise.
Who provides water and sewer in Marietta - the city or the county?
It depends on your address, and the line isn't quite the city limit. Inside the city, water and sewer come from Marietta Power & Water, the city's Board of Lights and Water - but its service boundary reaches past the city line in places, so some just-outside addresses are Marietta customers and others are on the Cobb County Water System. Check your bill to see which. Plumbing permits do follow the city line - the City of Marietta inside the limits, Cobb County beyond them. Either way, everything past your meter is a licensed plumber's job, and we pull the permit through the right office.
Do you work on historic homes near the Marietta Square?
Yes, and carefully. The homes around the Square date to the 1800s and early 1900s and often still run on galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains at the end of their life. We repipe and modernize drains while protecting original floors, plaster, and trim rather than opening up walls we don't have to.
Do you fix or replace polybutylene piping in East Cobb subdivisions?
Yes. Polybutylene supply pipe - usually gray - went into a lot of East Cobb's 1980s and 1990s subdivisions 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.
My sewer backs up every year - what's causing it in an older Marietta home?
On older Marietta and East Cobb lots, the most common cause is a cracked clay or cast-iron lateral catching tree roots, which rebuild every season after a simple cabling. We camera the line to find the actual break, then repair or re-line only the failed section so the fix lasts instead of coming back next spring.
Do you install gas lines in Marietta, GA?
Yes. On the Atlanta Gas Light system we run new lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, and standby generators, permitted through the City of Marietta or Cobb County depending on your address and inspected to Georgia code. We handle gas leak detection and repair too - it's our second specialty alongside plumbing.
