Plumbing in Atlanta: what to know
Atlanta's dense tree canopy and red clay soils make root-damaged sewer lines and wet crawl spaces common, and older intown homes still have clay laterals.
Hard freezes are infrequent in Atlanta, so many homes have pipes in attics, crawl spaces and exterior walls with little insulation. When a rare cold snap does arrive, burst pipes spike across the area within a day or two.
Atlanta generally has soft to moderately soft water. Scale is less of a problem, but soft, slightly acidic water can be harder on older copper pipes, which can develop pinhole leaks over time.
Fulton County and Georgia housing: Red clay soils, many crawl-space and basement homes in north Georgia, and heavy tree cover that sends roots into sewer lines.
