Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Alpharetta Woods is a residential community in Alpharetta, North Fulton County — one of the many established neighborhoods that define the Alpharetta residential landscape along the GA-400 corridor. Like much of Alpharetta’s housing stock, homes in Alpharetta Woods were developed during the rapid suburban growth of the late 1980s and 1990s. This is the age range that defines the most active plumbing service cycle in North Fulton, as original copper plumbing systems approach or pass the 30-year mark and age-related pitting corrosion begins to produce the pinhole-leak failures that are well-documented throughout the region.
Homes built in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Alpharetta are almost universally slab-on-grade construction with original copper supply lines. Fulton County’s water is drawn from the Chattahoochee River and treated at the Tom Lowe Atlanta-Fulton County Water Treatment Plant in Johns Creek, using chlorine as the disinfectant. The pinhole leaks that are one of the most consistent service patterns throughout Alpharetta’s 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods are driven primarily by the age of the copper itself — decades of service producing localized pitting corrosion on the inside of the pipe wall.
The practical consequence for Alpharetta Woods homeowners is that a home of this vintage with original copper plumbing is in the window where the plumbing system warrants active monitoring rather than passive assumption that it will continue performing indefinitely. One pinhole leak repaired properly is a contained event. Two or three in different locations over a short period is a signal that corrosion is widespread and that continued spot repairs are an increasingly poor investment compared to a whole-home repipe.

I have known and worked with John for many years. Recently, we had a major leak involving a failed water heater. John replaced it and also arranged and coordinated removal of water damaged drywall as well its replacement prior to installation of the new water heater. We are pleased with the outcome and appreciated his dependability and reasonable price.

A single pinhole leak in a home with otherwise sound plumbing is not automatically a sign of systemic problems. However, given the age of Alpharetta Woods homes and the well-documented pattern of pinhole leaks in aging North Fulton copper, it’s worth having the plumber assess the broader condition of your system at the time of repair rather than just fixing the immediate leak. If the pipe shows signs of widespread surface corrosion at the repair point, that’s meaningful information. If the system looks otherwise sound, you’re more likely dealing with an isolated failure. The key signal to watch for is a second leak in a different location — that pattern warrants a full system assessment.
A whole-home repipe replaces your existing copper supply lines with PEX tubing — a flexible, corrosion-resistant material that is not subject to the pitting corrosion that affects aging copper. The process involves accessing the supply lines through walls, ceilings, or under the slab where necessary, running new PEX lines, connecting them to all fixtures and appliances, and restoring all access points as part of the job. For most Alpharetta homes, a full repipe is a one-to-two day project. We provide flat-rate pricing in writing before starting and carry all required permits. The result is a complete elimination of the recurring pinhole leak cycle.
Yes. For Alpharetta Woods homeowners interested in improving water quality, the most relevant treatments are whole-home carbon filtration — which reduces chlorination byproducts (TTHMs and HAA5s) that Fulton County’s 2024 water quality report shows at the higher end of the compliance range — and a point-of-use RO system for drinking and cooking water. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full installation and ongoing service for both types of systems.
