Big Creek is one of the most recognizable geographic anchors in North Fulton County — the Big Creek Greenway corridor runs through communities spanning Alpharetta, Roswell, and Forsyth County, and the name carries real local identity for residents throughout the area. Homes in and around Big Creek range from established neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s along the Alpharetta and Roswell corridors to newer construction closer to the Forsyth County line. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Alpharetta has been serving homeowners throughout this area for years, and we understand the specific plumbing conditions that affect homes in this part of North Fulton.

Why Homes in the Big Creek Area Have Specific Plumbing Needs

The Big Creek watershed spans a range of housing vintages. Homes built along the Alpharetta and Roswell portions of the corridor in the late 1980s and 1990s are now 25 to 40 years old — precisely the age at which original copper plumbing begins to show age-related pitting corrosion. Pinhole leaks in copper pipe are a consistent pattern in homes of this age throughout the Big Creek area, and when they occur in slab-on-grade construction — the standard foundation type for North Fulton — locating and repairing them requires thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment rather than guesswork.

The mature tree cover along the Big Creek Greenway corridor also contributes to one of the more consistent sewer service call patterns we see in the area: tree root intrusion. The oak and pine canopy that defines this corridor extends root systems that grow toward buried sewer lines over decades. Camera inspection of the sewer line is the first step in diagnosing slow drains or backups in older homes in this area.

My Big Creek area home is from the early 1990s. What should I watch for plumbing-wise?

Homes built in the late 1980s through mid-1990s in the Big Creek area are entering the 30-to-40-year window where aging copper plumbing becomes most vulnerable to pitting corrosion. The most consistent warning signs are unexplained water bill increases, warm spots on tiled floors (indicating a hot water slab leak), musty odors near plumbing walls, and multiple pinhole leaks in different locations over a short period. If you’ve had more than one pinhole repair in the past few years, that pattern warrants a professional assessment of your system’s overall condition.

Do you handle sewer line repairs near the greenway?

Yes. Tree root intrusion is one of the more common sewer issues in the Big Creek corridor given the density of mature hardwoods along the greenway. We use sewer camera inspection to locate root intrusions, offset joints, or collapsed sections precisely before recommending a repair approach. For contained damage, trenchless pipe patch repair — a cured-in-place liner inserted inside the existing pipe — avoids excavation in many cases. 

For more extensive damage, traditional repair and replacement options are available with flat-rate pricing before any digging begins.
