Local plumbing issues in Atlanta
Tree roots in laterals
Atlanta's dense canopy sends roots into clay sewer laterals, causing repeat backups.
Ice storms
Occasional winter ice storms freeze pipes in crawl spaces and exterior walls.
Heavy rain
Downpours test basements, crawl spaces and sump pumps.
Water and sewer upgrades
Atlanta has spent years upgrading its aging water and sewer system, and older intown homes still connect to laterals that may be decades old.
Basements on hills
Hilly lots mean many Atlanta homes have basements or walk-out lower levels, where floor drains and sump pumps handle heavy rain.
