Concord Place is a residential neighborhood in the City of Smyrna developed primarily in the 1990s and early 2000s. Positioned in the northern portion of the city's residential footprint. The housing stock consists of two-story traditional and colonial homes typical of Smyrna's late-cycle suburban buildout before the market shift toward the more urban development near Market Village. Concord Place homes have copper supply lines from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s. Which are now 20 to 30 years old, and pvc drain systems standard for the construction era.
Concord Place represents the youngest established neighborhood in our Smyrna service area alongside Wynfield and Brookhaven Smyrna. The copper supply in the mid-1990s Concord Place homes is at the threshold of Smyrna's soft-water corrosion window: 25 to 30 years into service in the City of Smyrna Water and Sewer Division's 38-milligrams-per-liter Chattahoochee surface water supply. Early-stage pitting is beginning to develop in some homes in this cohort. Particularly in the longer supply runs serving second-floor master baths where thermal cycling and longer water-contact time accelerate the corrosion process.
Concord Place Supply Line Considerations
The copper in Concord Place homes from 1995 to 2005 is at a different point in the failure progression than Walker Park or Highland Park copper from the 1960s. Concord Place homeowners are not typically dealing with active pinhole leaks yet. But they are at the stage where a proactive pressure test provides a baseline condition assessment that is valuable for insurance documentation, home sale disclosure, and maintenance planning. A pressure test that shows a clean, stable system gives confidence that the copper is structurally sound at its current age. A test that shows early pressure decay identifies a developing issue before it becomes an emergency call.
Some Concord Place homes from the early 2000s were built with PEX supply rather than copper, which eliminates the soft-water corrosion concern entirely for those homes. Homes in this area with PEX supply have a completely different leak risk profile, focused on fitting connections. Crimp or clamp integrity, and slab or wall penetration seals rather than pipe-body corrosion.

Call (770) 214-4545PVC Drain Systems in Concord Place
Concord Place homes use PVC drain systems throughout, standard for 1990s and 2000s construction. These systems are approaching the age where original solvent-welded joint connections warrant inspection. Particularly at connections that were improperly made during original construction or that have been subjected to repeated thermal cycling from hot-water drain lines. PVC joint failures in a finished basement ceiling are among the more disruptive repair scenarios in Concord Place homes because the finished space below the kitchen or bathroom drain run requires ceiling access and drywall repair as part of the leak correction.
Concord Place and the Broader Smyrna NW Context
Concord Place is within the City of Smyrna limits, Cobb County, served by the City of Smyrna Water and Sewer Division. The neighborhood's proximity to the Spring Road commercial corridor and the Smyrna community facilities near Village Green place it in the broader NW Atlanta metro context that defines the City of Smyrna's position as an inside-the-perimeter-adjacent suburb approximately 10 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Adjacent neighborhoods including Reed Mill to the south and the Mavell Road area to the east are also within our service network.

A 2000 Concord Place home has supply lines that are approximately 25 years old. This is at the threshold of Smyrna's soft-water copper corrosion window. A proactive pressure test is a reasonable preventive step for any Concord Place home from the mid-1990s through early 2000s with original copper supply. It takes under an hour and establishes a condition baseline before symptoms appear.
A 2003 Concord Place home may have either copper or PEX supply, as both were in use during the early 2000s transition period in Smyrna residential construction. PVC drain lines are standard throughout. If you do not know which supply material your home has, we identify it during the inspection visit. The material type significantly affects the leak risk profile and the detection approach.
The City of Smyrna Water and Sewer Division owns and maintains the water meter at the property line. The homeowner is responsible for the service line from the meter to the house and for all interior plumbing. A leak on the homeowner's side of the meter is the homeowner's responsibility to repair with a licensed Georgia plumber.
Concord Place homes are not prone to the galvanized supply or cast-iron drain failures of the older Smyrna neighborhoods. The relevant concerns for 1990s-2000s Concord Place construction are: soft-water copper corrosion in mid-1990s copper supply now reaching the 25-to-30-year threshold, PVC drain joint failures at improperly made original connections, shower pan membrane deterioration in tiled showers from this era, and sump pump condition in daylight basement homes.
