Leak Detection & Repair in Tucker

Tucker, Georgia is a city in DeKalb County located approximately 17 miles east of Smyrna, on the opposite side of Atlanta from our Cobb County base. Tucker incorporated as a city in 2016 and has a population of approximately 37,000. It is important to note clearly that Tucker is in DeKalb County, not Cobb County. Our business is based in Smyrna, Cobb County, and our primary service area is Cobb County and the immediately adjacent communities. Tucker is the eastern-most location in our service network and the only DeKalb County address we cover.

We include Tucker in our service area because it falls within a reasonable dispatch range from Smyrna and because the plumbing conditions in Tucker's residential stock are consistent with the Cobb County mid-century housing we work in throughout our service area. Tucker's core residential neighborhoods were developed from the 1950s through the 1970s, producing the same galvanized and copper supply profile as Smyrna's comparable eras. However, given the distance from Smyrna, same-day emergency response to Tucker is dependent on current dispatch availability. And we recommend calling to confirm before counting on immediate response for tucker addresses.

Tucker County and Utility Context

Tucker is served by DeKalb County Watershed Management for water and sewer. Which is entirely separate from the cobb county-marietta water authority and the city of smyrna water and sewer division. DeKalb County's water sources include the Chattahoochee River and Hog Mountain Reservoir, and the water chemistry at Tucker addresses differs from Smyrna's 38 mg/L soft supply. Tucker's water hardness through DeKalb County's system is in a different range. Which means the copper corrosion driver in tucker homes may have a different character than in smyrna.

Permit Jurisdiction in Tucker

Plumbing permits in Tucker are issued by the City of Tucker Building and Permitting Division. Which is separate from both cobb county and the city of smyrna permit offices. Our Georgia state plumbing license covers work in Tucker as it does throughout Georgia. But permit coordination for tucker jobs goes through the city of tucker rather than any cobb county authority. We handle permit applications for Tucker jobs through the appropriate jurisdiction.

Tucker Residential Profile

Tucker's established residential neighborhoods near its downtown core were built primarily in the 1950s through 1970s. With housing types and plumbing eras similar to smyrna's belmont hills and walker park cohorts: galvanized supply in the oldest homes, copper supply in the mid-century stock that is now 50 to 70 years old. The supply investigation approach is the same regardless of county: pressure decay testing to confirm and isolate the leak. Thermal imaging to locate the moisture, and non-invasive detection before any surface is opened.
