Plumber in Marietta, GA
A&G Plumbing & Drain is a family-owned plumber in Marietta, GA, working out of the Cobb County seat since 2006. From the historic blocks around Marietta Square to the subdivisions of East Cobb and West Cobb, we handle the plumbing problems that come with this part of the Piedmont every day.
Plumbing Services in Marietta, GA
Across Marietta our work tends to cluster around four things: slow or backed-up drains, water heaters that quit, leaks turning up where they shouldn’t, and sewer lines acting up. We run a camera before we quote any sewer job so you know what is actually going on under the yard instead of guessing.
If your tank is leaking or you ran out of hot water faster than usual, our water heater repair in Marietta covers both tank and tankless units, and the hard water in Cobb means tanks here often need flushing and anode service to last. For kitchen lines, tubs, and main lines, our drain cleaning in Marietta clears the clog and tells you whether it was grease, roots, or a pipe problem. We also handle leak detection and toilet repair and replacement.
When a yard line keeps backing up, our sewer line repair in Marietta uses video inspection to find roots, bellies, or cracked clay before we recommend a fix. Older homes that still have polybutylene or galvanized supply lines are good candidates for repiping.

Common Plumbing Problems in Marietta Homes
Marietta housing stock is split, and the plumbing problems split with it. Near the Square in the 30060 ZIP you have older Craftsman and bungalow homes with cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines that have had decades to corrode and scale up. Galvanized pipe rusts from the inside, so water pressure drops and the water can come out discolored. Cast iron drains in these homes are usually the next thing to go.
Out in the 1980s and 1990s subdivisions across East Cobb (30062, 30066, 30067, 30068) and West Cobb (30064), the bigger issue is polybutylene supply pipe. Builders ran a lot of it here between roughly 1978 and 1995 because it was cheap and flexible, but it gets brittle and fails at the fittings, often without warning. If you have gray plastic pipe coming out of your water heater or hot water tank, it is worth getting it looked at.
Outside the house, Georgia red clay and the tree canopy do the damage. Clay swells when it rains and shrinks in a dry spell, which stresses buried sewer lines and shifts their grade. Add the mature oaks, pines, and sweet gums in established Marietta neighborhoods, and roots find their way into older clay and cast iron laterals at the joints. That combination is behind most of the sewer backups we clear in town.
Plumbing Questions Marietta Homeowners Ask
Do you serve both East Cobb and West Cobb?
Yes. We cover all of Marietta and the surrounding Cobb County area on both sides of I-75, including the 30060, 30062, 30064, 30066, 30067, and 30068 ZIP codes.
How do I know if my home has polybutylene pipe?
Look for gray (sometimes blue) plastic pipe about half an inch to one inch wide near the water heater, water meter, or under sinks. A lot of Marietta homes built from the late 1970s into the mid 1990s have it. We can confirm it and walk you through repiping options if it is failing.
Who provides my water in Marietta?
If your home is inside the Marietta city limits, your water comes from Marietta Power & Water. Homes in unincorporated Cobb are on the Cobb County Water System. Either way, the hard water is rough on water heaters, which is why we recommend regular flushing.
Why does my drain keep backing up after I clear it?
A clog that returns usually means roots or a broken pipe in the sewer lateral, not just a soft blockage. A camera inspection shows whether it is a root intrusion at a joint or a sagging line, so you are not paying to snake the same drain twice.
Are you available for same-day work?
When we have an opening Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm, we can often get you in the same day. Call early and we will do our best to fit you on the schedule.
