When something goes wrong with the plumbing, the first question is usually the same: how bad is it, and how fast can someone get here? The second question is what it will cost. Those are fair things to want answered before you call anyone, and Alpha Plumbing Solutions covers both. We serve Lawrenceville and the surrounding Gwinnett County area for the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work, from a backed-up drain on a weeknight to a water heater that has stopped producing hot water on a Saturday morning.
Lawrenceville is a city with a mix of established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and commercial properties of all sizes. The plumbing needs that come out of a place like this are varied. A home that has been extended or updated carries plumbing from two or three different eras. A rental property needs repairs turned around quickly so a unit stays livable. A small business cannot have its bathrooms out of service for a full day. We work across all of it, and we are open every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM so the call reaches a real person when the problem actually shows up.
Not every plumbing call is the same, and the work that follows depends on what the job actually is. Some calls are about a specific failure. Others are about a system that has been declining for a while and finally reached the point where something has to give. Understanding which kind of call you are making helps us scope it correctly from the start.
A leak behind a wall, a drain that keeps backing up, a toilet that runs constantly, low pressure at one fixture or throughout the whole house: these calls all start in the same place. We find the source before we start work. That means pressure testing where a hidden leak is suspected, camera inspection of a drain or sewer run where a recurring blockage points to something structural, and a methodical check of the supply side when pressure problems are the complaint. Slab leak detection is part of this work in Gwinnett County, where slab-on-grade construction is common and a leak under the foundation can run for a long time before it shows up at the surface.
Some plumbing reaches the end of its useful life and repair stops making sense. Corroded supply lines, a water heater that has been repaired more than once and is still failing, a fixture that cannot hold a repair because the body of it is worn out. When the math tips toward replacement, we scope the job, confirm the price, and carry out the work to current code. Plumbing done to the standard the next inspection expects is the baseline on every replacement job, not something that has to be asked for.
A kitchen or bathroom renovation, a new appliance that needs a water line, a garbage disposal that was never installed in the original build. These are jobs that can be scheduled at a time that suits the property rather than at the moment of a failure. We handle rough-in work, fixture installation, and connection work for planned projects, and we coordinate with the rest of a renovation so the plumbing does not hold anything else up.
Local means we care what the neighbors say about our work.
A water heater failure is one of the calls that cannot wait. No hot water in a home with a family, or in a rental unit with a tenant, is a problem that needs to be resolved the same day if at all possible. Same-day service is often available for water heater calls, and we treat them as the priority they are.
The decision between repair and replacement depends on what failed and how old the unit is. A failed heating element or a faulty thermostat on a unit that is otherwise in good condition is worth repairing. A unit that is corroding from the inside, that has already been repaired, or that simply cannot keep up with the demand placed on it is usually better replaced than patched again. We assess the unit on-site and give you a clear answer before any work begins.
Properties that have been extended or converted add a layer of complexity. An addition that was put on without upgrading the water heater, or a unit that was sized for a smaller household and never replaced when the property grew, often shows up as a recovery problem rather than an outright failure. The water heats, but not fast enough, and not enough of it. That is a sizing problem, and replacement with a correctly sized unit, tank or tankless, solves it where a repair would not.
Scheduling a plumber should not require a week of planning. We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and for most routine calls same-day or next-day appointments are available. When you call, you get a real answer about what is open and when someone can be there.
For situations that will not keep, burst pipe, active leak, sewer backup, no hot water, we treat the call as urgent. Emergency plumbing is part of what we do, and we handle those calls the same way as any other: assess the situation, confirm the scope, and get to work. We show up ready to get to work.
For tenants and businesses that need to stay operational, we work around the situation. A commercial property with a bathroom out of service, a rental unit where a tenant is present, a business that needs the work done before opening hours: these are common scenarios and we account for them when we schedule. You schedule it. We fix it. Simple as that.
Pricing is confirmed before any work begins. When you call, we ask about the job, and you get a rate on the phone. Once a plumber is on-site and has assessed the situation, the price is confirmed before a wrench comes out. What moves a quote is what the fault actually turns out to be and what has to come apart to reach it.
A clog that clears with a standard snake is a different job from one that requires hydro jetting or camera inspection of the line. A leak that is accessible is a different job from one that is behind tile or under a slab. A water heater swap on a straightforward connection is a different job from one where the supply lines are corroded and need replacing at the same time. We explain what we find and what the options are, and the price reflects the actual job rather than a guess made over the phone.
The service page carries the full breakdown of what each type of work involves. If you want to know what a specific job typically covers before you call, that is a good place to start. A straightforward choice for homeowners and property managers who want to understand the work before they commit to it.
An outdoor tap that drips, a hose bib that has frozen and cracked, or an irrigation connection that was never properly valved: these are small jobs that cause real water waste and, in the case of a failed bib, can let water into a wall cavity. We repair and replace outdoor taps and hose bibs, and we install shutoff valves on irrigation connections where they are missing.
A refrigerator ice maker or water dispenser needs a properly connected supply line with a working shutoff. Connections that were done with push-fit fittings that have aged, or lines that were run without an accessible valve, are a common source of slow leaks behind appliances. We install and repair these lines correctly so the connection holds and the shutoff is where it needs to be.
When a drain backs up repeatedly or a sewer line is suspected of having a structural problem, a camera inspection of the underground run gives a clear picture of what is happening before any digging or repair work begins. In this region, mature tree canopy means root intrusion into older lines is a regular finding. Camera inspection confirms whether the problem is a root mass, a collapsed section, or a joint that has separated, and the repair is scoped from what the camera shows.
A shower that runs too hot, too cold, or cannot hold a consistent temperature usually has a valve or cartridge problem rather than a supply issue. Mixer valves and pressure-balancing cartridges wear out over time, and the repair is often straightforward once the valve type is identified. We carry common cartridges and rebuild kits so the job can be completed in a single visit in most cases.
When temperatures in the region drop sharply, pipes in uninsulated spaces, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and garages are the ones most at risk. A frozen pipe that has not yet split can often be thawed and insulated without a full repair. One that has cracked or burst needs the damaged section replaced before water is restored to that line. We handle both, and we check the surrounding pipe for stress damage before the job is closed out.
We'll have your drains running again in no time.

Coverage extends to residential properties of all sizes, commercial properties, and rental units. Whether the call comes from a homeowner dealing with a single repair or a property manager coordinating work across multiple addresses, the process is the same: call, get a quote, get it scheduled. No pressure and no gimmicks, just sound, lasting plumbing on every job we take.
Call us at (706) 249-9655 and let us know. If the schedule allows it and the second location is workable, we will do our best to accommodate it. We confirm what is possible on the call rather than making a promise we cannot keep.
The person on site gets told immediately, before any additional work is started. We explain what we found, what it means, and what it would take to address it. No additional work is done without a revised scope and a confirmed price.
A pressure drop at one fixture, rather than throughout the whole house, usually points to a clogged aerator, a failing valve, or a problem with the supply line to that specific fixture. It is a more contained issue than a whole-house pressure drop and is typically straightforward to diagnose and fix.
Yes. If you are a landlord or property manager and need documentation of work done at a rental address, let us know when you call. We make sure the record reflects what was done and can be kept for your property files.
That is something to sort out between the landlord and the tenant before we arrive. We work with property managers and landlords regularly, and we can confirm with you on the call how you want the billing handled. We do not determine billing arrangements on site.
Yes. We coordinate with other trades on renovation and remodel projects regularly. If a contractor is already on site and you need plumbing work to happen around their schedule, let us know when you call and we will work out the timing.
When you call, we give you a price for the job as a whole. If you want to understand what makes up that price, ask and we will explain it. We do not hide what goes into the quote.
Yes. Once the job is done, we explain what caused the problem and what, if anything, can be done to reduce the chance of it happening again. That might be a maintenance habit, a fixture upgrade, or just knowing what to watch for.
Every job is worth a call, including a single dripping faucet, a running toilet, or a garbage disposal that has stopped working. Small problems have a way of becoming larger ones when they sit, and a single-repair visit is a normal part of what we do.
A drain that backs up repeatedly after clearing usually points to something structural in the line rather than a simple clog. In this area, root intrusion from mature trees is one of the most common causes, particularly in older clay or cast-iron sewer lines. We use camera inspection to identify exactly what is happening in the line so the repair addresses the actual problem rather than clearing the symptom and waiting for it to return.
Permit requirements for plumbing work in Gwinnett County depend on the scope of the job and whether it involves new installation, replacement, or repair. When you call, we confirm what applies to your specific job and address before any work is scheduled. We carry out all work to code so it passes inspection when one is required.
