Common plumbing problems in Stone Mountain homes
Failing supply lines in century-old Village homes
The Victorian and Craftsman houses around Stone Mountain's historic Village can still carry original galvanized or early copper pipe. We repipe carefully in PEX or copper, working around plaster, trim, and finishes you don't want disturbed.
Cracked cast-iron and clay sewer laterals
Pre-war and postwar lots near the Village and Shermantown sit under mature hardwoods whose roots invade aging clay and cast-iron sewer lines. We camera the line first, then repair or reline only the failed section.
Polybutylene pipe in newer subdivisions
Gray polybutylene supply lines, common in the 1980s–'90s neighborhoods south of the Village, split at their fittings and are no longer made or code-approved. They're best replaced before one bursts.
No hot water
Tank water heaters past 10–12 years tend to fail abruptly. We diagnose the element, thermostat, or gas valve and repair or replace, often the same day.
Buried lines where depth to rock changes lot to lot
Neighborhoods here sit on deep Piedmont saprolite, but rock and outcrop turn up close to the surface on the steeper ground. We pinpoint the failure before we open the yard so we trench only where we have to.
Adding a gas range, dryer, or generator
A new gas line, permitted and inspected to code - our second specialty alongside plumbing.

About the area
Your Local Plumber in Stone Mountain, GA
Stone Mountain holds some of the oldest housing in the area: the Victorian and Craftsman homes of the historic Village, listed on the National Register as a rare surviving railroad town, sit beside 1970s-through-’90s subdivisions that spread south toward the mountain. That spread of build eras - original galvanized and cast iron in the Village, polybutylene in the newer streets - is exactly why repiping and old-line repair are among the the calls we run from the Village to the newer streets.
Permits here split by where you sit: the incorporated city handles its own, while the broader unincorporated area runs through DeKalb - and either way you’ll need one to swap a water heater or to add a gas line for a range, dryer, or generator. Water and sewer stay with DeKalb County Watershed Management, so everything past your meter falls to us.
Stone Mountain is one of the DeKalb communities we cover from our Lilburn shop, a quick trip down U.S. 78 when an old pipe finally gives out.

What our Stone Mountain customers say
Frequently asked questions
Is Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta based near Stone Mountain?
Yes. We operate out of Lilburn (30047), a short run north - usually about fifteen minutes from Stone Mountain by way of U.S. 78 or Mountain Industrial Boulevard. You're not calling a dispatcher who routes a contractor in from across Metro Atlanta; you reach a master plumber who works DeKalb County every day.
How fast can you respond to a plumbing emergency in Stone Mountain?
We dispatch 24/7 and we're close by in Lilburn, so we can usually reach Stone Mountain quickly. Timing depends on the day's call volume, but burst pipes, active leaks, and sewage backups are always pushed to the front of the line.
Can you work on the older homes in Stone Mountain Village?
Yes, and it's some of our favorite work. The historic Village homes often still have original galvanized, early copper, or cast-iron plumbing that needs a careful hand. We repipe and repair while protecting the plaster, trim, and period details - no tearing a 1900s house apart when there's a cleaner way.
In Stone Mountain, do I call the city, the county, or a plumber for a water problem?
Water and sewer come from the DeKalb County Department of Watershed Management, so the meter and the public mains are theirs - call DeKalb for billing or a street-side issue. Everything past your meter - leaks, water heaters, drains, and fixtures - is a licensed plumber's job, and that's what we handle.
Do you pull permits for plumbing work in Stone Mountain?
Yes. Inside the incorporated city limits, permits go through the City of Stone Mountain; for the larger unincorporated area that shares a Stone Mountain mailing address, they run through DeKalb County. Either way a water heater replacement needs one - we pull the right permit and coordinate the inspection so your system stays code-compliant.
Do you service the larger Smoke Rise estates?
Yes. The custom homes in Smoke Rise often have long pipe runs, more than one water heater, and well or irrigation systems that smaller shops shy away from. We handle the whole range, from a single dripping fixture to a full-house repipe.
Do you install gas lines in Stone Mountain, GA?
Yes - gas is our second specialty alongside plumbing. We run new lines for ranges, dryers, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, and standby generators, plus gas leak detection and repair, all permitted through DeKalb County and inspected to Georgia code.
