Pete's Plumbing has been the go-to plumber for Alpharetta homeowners and businesses since 1986. That's 40 years of showing up, doing the work right, and standing behind it. The person who answers the phone is often the plumber at your door. We know this area, we know the homes here, and we know what local plumbing problems actually look like in the field. Whether you need a drain cleared today or a full repiping project planned out, you're reaching a local team that genuinely cares about getting it right. Trusted for years. Ready for your pipes. Call anytime.
Before a small leak turns into water damage, most property owners want one thing: a plumber they can actually count on. We work with both homeowners and commercial clients across Alpharetta and the surrounding area. That includes single-family homes, rental properties, apartment buildings, office buildings, restaurants, and multi-unit developments. Property managers especially know how fast a plumbing issue can spiral when the right crew isn't on the job.
We are trusted by local homeowners and property managers for their plumbing, and we take that trust seriously on every call. Work is performed by licensed plumbers who understand both the residential side and the demands of commercial jobs. Whether it's a tenant reporting no hot water or a property manager dealing with a sewer backup across multiple units, we treat every job with the same focus and care.
When the plumber arrives, the real work begins, and we come prepared. Our team handles the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from routine maintenance and repairs to more involved installations and replacements. Below is a look at the core services we provide.
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it backs up completely. We handle kitchen drain cleaning, bathroom drain cleaning, shower and bathtub clogs, floor drain service, and slow drain repairs throughout the home or building. For tougher blockages, hydro jetting clears buildup that a standard snake can't reach, using high-pressure water to flush the line clean. We identify where the clog is, clear it thoroughly, and check the drain is flowing the way it should before we leave.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor leak from a serious one, and that's where we come in. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or beneath flooring can cause significant damage before they're ever noticed. We use leak detection methods that locate the source without unnecessary damage to your home. Slab leak detection and repair is a specialty we handle regularly in this area. Once we find the leak, we repair or replace the affected pipe and make sure the fix holds.
No hot water is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a household or business can face. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and we carry the parts to handle most repairs on the first visit. When a unit is past its useful life, we help you choose the right replacement for your household size and usage, then handle the installation from start to finish. Commercial water heater installation is something we handle for restaurants, apartment buildings, and office properties as well.
A running toilet or a dripping faucet wastes more water than most people realize. We repair and replace toilets, faucets, sinks, shower valves, and garbage disposals. Whether you're upgrading fixtures during a renovation or dealing with a toilet that won't stop running, we handle the job cleanly and efficiently. We also install garbage disposals, replace corroded shutoff valves under sinks, and take care of the small fixture work that adds up over time in any home or commercial property.
The sewer line running from your home out to the city connection is something most people never think about until there's a problem. A main line clog or sewer backup can affect every drain in the building at once. We handle sewer line cleaning, sewer camera inspections, sewer line repair, and full sewer line replacement when the line is damaged beyond repair. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in established neighborhoods, and it's a job we handle regularly. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
Scheduling a plumber shouldn't be complicated, and neither should understanding what the work will cost. Before any job begins, we walk through what we found, what needs to be done, and what the pricing looks like. No surprise charges added at the end. No vague estimates that balloon once we're already on-site. We show up on time and ready to work, and that preparation means we can give you accurate information from the start.
If additional work is discovered once a job is underway, we explain it clearly before moving forward. You'll always know what you're agreeing to. Call us and the rest is on our team.
A burst pipe, a major leak, or a complete loss of hot water doesn't wait for business hours. We offer emergency plumbing service around the clock, every day of the week. When you call after hours, on a weekend, or on a holiday, you reach someone who can actually help, not a voicemail. We provide prompt response, even for last-minute plumbing calls, because we understand that some plumbing problems can't be scheduled.
Same-day service is available for customers who need a plumber today. Whether it's a flooded utility room, a broken water line, or a sewer backup, we move quickly to contain the problem and get the repair done. You can expect a clear timeline when you call, not a vague window that leaves you waiting all day. Trusted for years. Ready for your pipes. Call anytime.
Some plumbing problems aren't a single leak or a single clog. They're a sign that the plumbing system as a whole needs attention. Older homes with galvanized steel pipes often develop persistent low water pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks as the pipes corrode from the inside out. Whole-house repiping with copper or PEX tubing is a long-term fix that restores reliable water pressure and eliminates the cycle of patchwork repairs.
We also handle water pressure diagnostics, pressure reducing valve replacement, shutoff valve replacement, and main water line repair and replacement. These are jobs that protect the home from damage and keep the plumbing system running the way it should for years to come. We pull the permit. We plumb it to code. We stand behind it.
Every job we take on is completed the right way, not the fast way. Work performed by licensed plumbers means the job meets code requirements, the connections are sound, and the finished work holds up over time. We don't cut corners on materials, we don't skip steps to save time, and we don't leave a job site until the work is done properly.
If something isn't right, we make it right. That's not a marketing line. It's how we've kept customers coming back for four decades. We are not satisfied until you are, and if a repair doesn't hold or a fixture isn't performing the way it should, we come back and address it. Our reputation in this community is built one job at a time, and we take that seriously.

| Plumbing Service | What It Covers | Typical Situations | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sewer and Main Line Service |
| drains backing up throughout the house or water surfacing in the yard | We work on the line from the house to the connection point; catching a problem early avoids a full replacement |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| weak flow at multiple fixtures or a shutoff valve that sticks or leaks | A failing pressure regulator affects the whole house; replacement restores normal flow quickly |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| older homes with recurring leaks, low pressure, or corroding galvanized steel pipe | We give you a clear estimate before work begins; scope and cost depend on home size and existing pipe material |
| Water Softener Installation |
| homes with mineral buildup on fixtures, scale in supply lines, or shortened water heater life | Hard water accelerates wear on water heaters and aerators; a softener addresses the problem at the source |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| homes with basements or crawl spaces in areas with heavy seasonal rainfall | Alpharetta's clay soil holds water against foundations; a properly sized pump moves it out before damage starts |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal |
| slow or backed-up drains in any fixture or the main line | Recurring slow drains often point to a deeper blockage; hydro jetting clears buildup that snaking leaves behind |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| any plumbing situation that cannot wait until the next business day | We take emergency calls seriously and work to get a licensed plumber to your door the same day |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| a disposal that hums but will not run, leaks, or needs full replacement | Most disposal jobs are completed in a single visit with no follow-up required |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular |
| no hot water, a leaking unit, or a water heater past its useful life | We assess the unit honestly and walk you through repair versus replacement before any work starts |
| Leak Detection and Repair |
| unexplained water stains, high water bills, or the sound of running water with nothing on | We use detection tools to find the source with minimal demolition before any repair begins |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation |
| dripping faucets, outdated fixtures, or new fixture installation in kitchens and bathrooms | We handle the full connection so the fixture performs correctly and does not leak at the supply line |
| Slab Leak Detection and Repair |
| warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or moisture under a concrete slab | Early detection limits concrete work and keeps repair costs significantly lower |
| Toilet Repair and Installation |
| a toilet that runs, leaks at the base, or needs full replacement | A running toilet can waste thousands of gallons a month; repairs are usually straightforward |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| older neighborhoods with mature trees and slow or blocked sewer lines | Roots seek moisture at pipe joints; clearing them early prevents a full line replacement |
How do I know if my water heater needs repair or full replacement?
Age is the first factor. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. If yours is approaching or past that range and showing problems like inconsistent heat, visible rust around the tank, or a leak at the base, replacement is usually the better investment. A unit that is only a few years old and failing to heat may need a simpler repair, such as a thermostat or element replacement. We assess the unit honestly and walk you through the options before any work begins.
What causes drains to clog and back up?
In kitchens, grease, food debris, and soap buildup are the most common causes. In bathrooms, hair and soap residue are the usual culprits. When multiple drains in the home are slow at the same time, the problem is usually further down in the main drain line rather than at a single fixture. In Alpharetta and Forsyth County neighborhoods with mature trees, root intrusion into the sewer line is another common cause of persistent or recurring backups.
How are hidden leaks found without tearing up walls or floors?
We use leak detection tools that locate the source of a hidden leak before any demolition begins. This approach limits the amount of wall or floor material that needs to come out and keeps the repair focused. Signs that point to a hidden leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, water stains on ceilings or walls, the sound of running water when everything is off, and soft or discolored spots on flooring.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear price before any work begins, and we stick to it. If something unexpected comes up mid-job, we explain it and get your approval before moving forward.
Is plumbing work permitted and inspected?
Many plumbing jobs in Georgia require a permit, and we pull the permit when the work calls for it. Permitted work is inspected to confirm it meets Georgia code, which protects you as the homeowner. If you are selling the home later, unpermitted plumbing work can create complications during inspection. We handle the permit process so you do not have to track it down yourself.
How do tree roots damage a sewer line, and what can be done about it?
Tree roots naturally grow toward moisture, and the joints in older clay or cast-iron sewer pipe are a reliable source. Roots work their way into the joint, grow inside the pipe, and eventually restrict or block flow entirely. We clear root intrusion using cutting tools or hydro jetting, then assess whether the affected section needs repair or replacement. Trenchless repair is an option in some situations, which reduces the disruption to the yard. If your home has older trees nearby and your drains are slow, a sewer line inspection is worth scheduling.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it heated continuously. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, which means no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Tankless units tend to last longer and use less energy, but they cost more upfront and may require a gas line upgrade to supply enough flow. We can walk you through both options based on your household size, usage habits, and existing setup.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who know Georgia code and take quality seriously. We pull the permit when the work requires it and stand behind everything we do.
What causes low water pressure throughout the house?
Low pressure at a single fixture is usually a clogged aerator or a failing valve at that fixture. When pressure is weak throughout the whole house, the cause is often a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed main shutoff valve, or a supply line issue. In homes with older galvanized steel pipe, internal corrosion can restrict flow significantly over time. We diagnose the source before recommending a fix so you are not paying for work that does not address the actual problem.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
Yes, someone should be present so we can access the affected areas and go over the problem directly with you. Having a responsible adult on-site also allows us to explain what we found, confirm the pricing, and get your approval before any work begins. If the job is at a rental property, the tenant can be present as long as someone with authority to approve the work is reachable by phone.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Burst pipes, sewer backups, and water heater failures do not wait for business hours. We take emergency calls seriously and work to get a plumber to your door the same day, including after-hours and weekends.
How does your pricing and estimate process work?
We use upfront pricing, which means you know the cost before we start. When we arrive, we assess the problem, explain what the job involves, and give you a clear number. You agree to the price before we pick up a tool. If something unexpected comes up once the work is underway, we explain it and get your approval before moving forward. There are no fees added at the end of the visit that you did not agree to at the start.
When should I call a plumber instead of attempting a repair myself?
Simple tasks like replacing a faucet aerator or a toilet flapper are reasonable DIY jobs for a handy homeowner. Anything involving supply lines inside walls, the main sewer line, a water heater, gas connections, or a slab leak is a job for a licensed plumber. Mistakes on those systems can cause water damage, code violations, or safety hazards that cost significantly more to fix than the original repair would have. When in doubt, a call for a quote costs you nothing and gives you a clear picture of what the job actually involves.
What should I do if a pipe bursts or my home is flooding?
Locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it off immediately to stop the flow. The main shutoff is usually near the water meter, at the front of the house, or in a utility area. Once the water is off, call us right away. We handle emergency plumbing calls and work to get a licensed plumber to your property as quickly as possible. Shutting off the water first limits damage while we are on the way.
Call us at (943) 298-8995 and we will give you a straight answer on what your plumbing situation involves and what it will cost to fix it.
