Plumber in Downtown Alpharetta, GA
Downtown Alpharetta is the original town center around the courthouse square, where 19th-century buildings and historic houses now sit beside new townhomes and infill homes.
Plumbing In Downtown Alpharetta
The Courthouse Square
The Milton County Courthouse went up in 1895 and was demolished in 1955. The building on the site today is a replica, at 2 S. Main Street.
Rebuilt After 1902
A fire on June 26, 1902 destroyed much of the town. Most of the buildings that replaced those lost were built of brick or stone.
Historic Houses
Roswell Street holds the Skelton-Teasley House, a Greek Revival home built in 1856, and the Waters House, a Colonial Revival home from about 1880.
Newer Infill
Alongside the old buildings, local listing data now shows new single-family homes and townhome communities in and around the downtown core.
Call (770) 214-4545 to ask about a specific downtown address.
A Short Look At The Square
Alpharetta's downtown grew up around Main Street, Milton Avenue and the courthouse. The Alpharetta History Walk lists the Dodd Hotel from about 1870 on Milton Avenue, Resthaven Cemetery dating to 1860, and a craftsman house from 1914 at 50 S. Main Street.
Alpharetta First United Methodist Church traces its roots to camp meetings held in the early 1830s, which makes the area far older than the office parks and subdivisions people now associate with the city.
We mention this history because it explains the housing mix. Within a few blocks you can find a century-old house, a restored commercial building and a townhome that is only a few years old.
Why Downtown Calls Are Never Quite The Same
A historic house may have had its plumbing renovated in stages over many decades, so one bathroom can be modern while the next room still runs older lines. We ask what has been replaced rather than assuming any particular material.
A newer townhome raises other questions. Walls and stacks may be shared with a neighbor, which changes who needs to be told about a leak and where a shutoff valve is.
Mature trees line many downtown streets. As a general rule, roots seek out moisture, so a slow drain on an older lot is worth a camera inspection through sewer line repair before assuming a simple clog.
If A Drain Slows Down Or Backs Up
Stop Adding Water
Hold off on laundry, dishwashers and long showers until you know how far the blockage reaches.
Check Other Fixtures
If several drains are slow at once, the problem is likely in the main line rather than one trap.
Skip Harsh Chemicals
Chemical openers can sit in a blocked line and make later work less pleasant for a technician.

It is a mix. The core has buildings and houses from the 1800s and early 1900s, and local listings also show newer infill homes and townhomes nearby, so the age depends on the exact address.
Shut off your own water if you can and call us. We can help work out where the water is coming from, and your HOA or property manager may need to be told as well.
Fulton County Public Works serves Alpharetta for water and sewer, not the city. A plumber works on the pipes inside your property and your own service line.
No. Many older houses have been updated over the years. A technician can look at what is actually in the walls and under the floor before recommending anything.
