Common plumbing problems in Snellville homes
Dropping or weak water pressure
Galvanized steel supply lines in Snellville's 1970s–'80s homes corrode shut from the inside. A repipe in PEX or copper restores full flow.
Pinhole leaks at pipe fittings
Gray polybutylene, installed across Gwinnett County into the mid-1990s, splits at its fittings. Best replaced before it bursts.
Recurring main-line backups
Cast-iron and clay sewer laterals under older Centerville and Summit Chase-area lots crack and catch tree roots. We camera the line first, then fix only what's failed.
No hot water
Tank heaters past 10–12 years tend to fail without warning. We diagnose and repair or replace, often the same day.
A warm spot on the floor or a spike in the water bill
The signs of a slab leak under a Snellville ranch. We pinpoint it non-invasively before it reaches the foundation.
Adding a gas range, dryer, or generator
A new gas line, permitted and inspected by the City of Snellville to Georgia code - our second specialty alongside plumbing.

About the area
Your Local Plumber in Snellville, GA
Most of Snellville’s older neighborhoods - Summit Chase, Woodberry, and the Centerville side of U.S. 78 - went up between the 1970s and early ’90s. That build era means galvanized and polybutylene supply lines, so repiping is among the repairs we’re called out for most across these Snellville homes.
Snellville pulls its own plumbing permits through the City Planning & Development Department - required even to swap a water heater, and just as much for running a new gas line to a range, dryer, or standby generator. Water and sewer stay with the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, so everything past your meter is ours.
Snellville is one of the Gwinnett County communities we cover from our Lilburn shop - usually a quick run up U.S. 78 - which is part of how we became the plumber the Snellville Police Department keeps on call.

What our Snellville customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta based near Snellville?
Yes. We operate out of Lilburn (30047), about fifteen minutes west of downtown Snellville straight up U.S. 78 - not a call center routing a contractor in from across Metro Atlanta. When you call, you reach a master plumber who works Gwinnett County every day and knows its homes by build era.
How fast can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Snellville?
We dispatch 24/7, and because we're next door in Lilburn we can usually reach Snellville quickly by way of U.S. 78 or Scenic Highway. Exact timing depends on current call volume, but active leaks, burst pipes, and sewage backups are always moved to the front of the line.
Do you pull permits for plumbing work in Snellville?
Yes. Inside the city limits, plumbing permits go through the City of Snellville Planning & Development Department - not Gwinnett County - and the city requires a permit even to replace a water heater. When work needs one we pull it and coordinate the inspection so your system stays code-compliant and insurable.
Do you work on older Snellville homes with galvanized or polybutylene pipe?
Yes - it's routine here. Many Snellville homes built from the 1970s through the '90s have galvanized steel or polybutylene supply lines. Galvanized corrodes and chokes your water pressure, and polybutylene was discontinued after a landmark class-action settlement and is no longer code-approved. We diagnose what you have and repipe it in PEX or copper.
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta really the plumber for the Snellville Police Department?
Yes. In May 2026 the City of Snellville Police Department selected Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta as its plumbing contractor after finding us online - the veteran-owned background and the reviews stood out to the lieutenant who manages building maintenance. We've already handled work at the department's facility, from replacing toilet flushometers to installing a new sink faucet. The same licensed master plumber who services the PD does the work in Snellville homes.
In Snellville, do I call the city, the county, or a plumber for a water problem?
Water and sewer service in Snellville is provided by the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, so the meter and the public mains are theirs - call the county for billing or a street-side main issue. Everything on your side of the meter - leaks, burst pipes, water heaters, drains, and fixtures - is a licensed plumber's job, and that's what we handle.
Do you install gas lines in Snellville, GA?
Yes. Gas work is our second specialty alongside plumbing. We run new gas lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and generators, and we handle gas leak detection and repair - all permitted by the City of Snellville and inspected to Georgia code.
Are you licensed and insured in Georgia?
Yes. Owner Sean Nelson holds Georgia Master Plumber License MP211014, and Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta LLC carries full commercial general liability insurance on every job. Ask when you call 770-398-STAR and we'll provide proof of both before any work begins.
