Homes and businesses on both sides of I-85
Norcross was chartered in 1870, and I-85 forms its southern boundary, with Peachtree Corners to the north. Peachtree Industrial Boulevard carries a lot of commercial traffic, and the town square and the streets around it hold older buildings that have been remodeled over the decades.
That mix means two kinds of calls. Homeowners need drains cleared, water heaters swapped and leaks found. Businesses and landlords need fast fixes with minimal downtime. For the second group, our commercial plumbing page explains how we schedule around your hours.
| Property | Common problem | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| House near the square | Old drain lines, slow main | Sewer camera inspection |
| Townhome or condo | Shared stack backup | Sewer line cleaning |
| Shop or restaurant | Grease clogs, floor drains | Hydro jetting |
| Any building | Pipe burst in a cold night | Burst pipe repair |
Water and sewer in Gwinnett
Norcross is in Gwinnett County, where Gwinnett County's Department of Water Resources supplies water drawn from Lake Lanier and maintains the sewer mains. Your line from the house to the connection is typically yours. We use a meter test and a camera to place a problem, and we report public-side issues with video so you are not paying for a fix that belongs to the utility.
Local note: the Beaver Ruin Creek Greenway and wet ground
The Beaver Ruin Creek Greenway runs through Norcross, and creeks and low ground shape how water moves after heavy rain. A yard that stays soft near a creek path may be rain, or it may be a failing line.
If you see a wet patch that does not dry between storms, run the meter test on our service line repair page, and call if the dial moves.
Student and campus housing
The Brenau University Atlanta campus is in Norcross, and any rental housing near a campus can see tenants change often. Landlords benefit from a camera look at the sewer line before a new lease year, and from a water heater check before winter. Our team works with property managers and schedules around tenants.
ZIP codes we serve
Norcross addresses use ZIP codes 30003, 30010, 30071, 30091 and 30093. Some of these ZIPs may cover addresses outside the city limits, and the dispatcher confirms service when you give the street address. Neighbors on our route include Lilburn and Clarkston.
Before the plumber arrives
- Close the main shutoff if water cannot be stopped at a fixture.
- Keep staff and tenants out of rooms with sewage on the floor.
- Photograph the damage and note when it began.
- Have the cleanout location ready if the line is backing up.

Questions Norcross callers ask most
Homeowners near the square often ask about older drain lines, while businesses along the main corridors ask about floor drains and water heaters. In both cases the first step is a diagnosis: a meter test, a camera or a pressure test.
Property managers ask whether we can schedule around tenants. We can, and we coordinate access before the visit. Landlords also ask for a written summary of the repair, which we provide so it can go in the property file.
Standards and sources
Plumbing work in Georgia follows the state minimum plumbing code, which is built on the International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Georgia amendments. Ask the City of Tucker permit team which edition and which local rules apply to your address. Plumbers are licensed through the Secretary of State's Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers, and you can ask for a license number. Water and sewer service is provided by the county utility for your address, and we confirm which one applies.
