Frequently Asked Questions by Brookhaven Homeowners
These are the questions we get from homeowners near you.
Why is my DeKalb County water bill suddenly so high?
A sudden spike in your water bill is almost always the first sign of a hidden plumbing leak. In Brookhaven, common culprits include a silently running toilet, a dripping faucet, or an underground slab leak caused by our shifting clay soil. Try turning off all the water inside and outside your house. If your water meter is still spinning, give us a call to track down the leak.
Do I really need to flush my water heater?
Yes! Because our local water supply contains heavier minerals, we deal with moderately hard water. Flushing your water heater once a year removes the heavy mineral scale that settles at the bottom of the tank. This simple maintenance step makes your unit run more efficiently, lowers your energy bills, and helps the heater last years longer.
How do I know if tree roots have gotten into my sewer line?
Those beautiful mature trees in neighborhoods like Ashford Park and Brittany have deep root systems that constantly seek out moisture. If you notice multiple drains in your home slowing down at the same time, hear a gurgling sound when you flush the toilet, or smell sewage in your yard, tree roots may have cracked your aging clay or cast iron sewer line. We can run a video camera down the drain to show you exactly what's going on.
The Brookhaven Difference: Why Local Plumbing Knowledge Matters
If you live in Brookhaven, you know our city is a beautiful mix of historic charm and stunning new developments. But did you know that where you live actually impacts your plumbing? Many generic plumbing companies treat every house the same, but we know better.
Here is what we look out for when serving our local neighborhoods:
-
The Red Clay Effect: Brookhaven sits on DeKalb County's famous red clay. When it rains and dries out, this clay expands and contracts. Over time, this shifting puts heavy pressure on underground pipes, making slab leaks and sewer line cracks much more common here than in other parts of metro Atlanta.
-
Aging Pipes in Older Neighborhoods: If you own a post-WWII or mid-century home in Historic Brookhaven or Drew Valley, your house may still rely on original cast iron drains or clay sewer lines. These materials are reaching the end of their lifespan and are highly prone to tree root break-ins, especially from the gorgeous, mature oak trees that line our streets.
-
High Water Pressure in Newer Builds: If you live in a newer build in Lynwood Park or a recently renovated home, you might have the opposite problem. Many newer developments in Brookhaven are hooked up to high-pressure water mains. If your home doesn't have a working Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV), that high pressure can silently wear down your fixtures and cause early pipe failure.
-
The Hard Water Factor: Because our water is sourced from the Chattahoochee River, it is moderately hard. The extra calcium and magnesium can cause mineral scale to build up inside your pipes, faucet aerators, and especially your water heater, cutting its lifespan short if it's not flushed regularly.

-
Water Heater Repair & Replacement: From traditional tank units fighting hard water buildup to modern, energy-efficient tankless upgrades, we handle all your water heater needs so you never have to take a cold shower again.
-
Sewer & Drain Cleaning: Slow drains or gurgling toilets? We use advanced camera inspections to see exactly what’s causing the blockage. Whether it’s a grease buildup in the kitchen or tree roots in your main sewer line and clear it out safely.
-
Leak Detection & Pipe Repair: Notice a sudden spike in your water bill or a damp spot on your ceiling? We use special leak detection tools to find hidden leaks behind walls or under your foundation without tearing your house apart.
