Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Chattahoochee Plantation is a distinctive unincorporated community in Cobb County with a fascinating history. Originally incorporated as a city in 1961 in anticipation of a luxury residential development centered on a golf club, Chattahoochee Plantation was briefly used in 1968 to extend Cobb County's boundaries across the entire county as a legal mechanism to prevent Atlanta from expanding into Cobb. The city was dissolved in 1995. Today the Chattahoochee Plantation area encompasses gated communities, riverfront properties along Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and upscale residential enclaves that include the Atlanta Country Club. It sits in the east Cobb riverside corridor near Vinings.
The Chattahoochee Plantation area includes some of Cobb County's most distinctive and varied residential properties — from mid-century ranch-style homes near the river corridors to newer custom construction on wooded lots. The older properties in this area date to the 1960s and 1970s, placing their original plumbing in the 50-to-60-year range. At that age, original copper supply lines — where they have not already been partially replaced — are well past their expected service life, and pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing are a documented regional pattern throughout Cobb County.
Proximity to the Chattahoochee River and Sope Creek means the Chattahoochee Plantation area has some of the most significant mature tree cover in Cobb County. Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a consistent and well-documented service issue in this corridor. Sewer camera inspection is the appropriate first diagnostic step for any slow drain or sewer backup in a home of this age and setting.
For newer custom homes and estates in the Chattahoochee Plantation area, water heater service and tankless system maintenance are the primary ongoing plumbing considerations. The elevated lot values and landscaping in this area also make directional boring the preferred approach for water service line replacement, minimizing disruption to established grounds.

Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Kelly Harter
Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!

The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.

Angel C was in fact a literal angel. He was extremely kind and professional. Up front about costs and quotes. This was my first time having to hire someone for an home repair and was very nervous about the process but he was amazing. I will definitely be a returning customer ( if I have to be ) and will be requesting Angel! Seriously cannot thank him enough!
The easiest way to get a reliable picture of your pipe material is a professional plumbing assessment. A licensed plumber can identify pipe materials at visible access points — under sinks, near the water heater, at the meter, and at any exposed sections in utility areas — and give you a clear report on what you're working with. For homes in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor from the 1960s and 1970s, the most likely materials are copper supply lines, cast iron drain lines, and in some cases galvanized steel in sections that were not updated. Each of these has a different service profile and knowing what you have is the foundation for making informed decisions about repair vs. replacement.
Tree roots grow toward moisture and the nutrients in a functioning sewer line. They enter through joints, cracks, or small gaps in older clay or cast iron lines, then expand inside the pipe as they follow the water flow. The mature tree cover along the Chattahoochee and Sope Creek corridors means root systems from established hardwoods have had decades to extend toward buried drain lines. Sewer camera inspection is the only accurate way to assess root intrusion — it shows exactly where the roots are and how extensive the infiltration is. For contained intrusion, trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining avoids excavation. For more extensive damage, traditional repair or section replacement is the appropriate solution.
Yes. Directional boring is our preferred approach for water service line replacement on properties in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor where established landscaping, long driveways, or mature grounds make open trenching unnecessarily disruptive. Directional boring installs the new line underground without excavating the surface — preserving lawns, gardens, and hardscaping. We assess whether directional boring is feasible for your specific site conditions during the diagnostic visit and provide flat-rate pricing for the full scope before any work begins.
