Georgia weather and your plumbing
Georgia has long, hot summers and mostly mild winters, with occasional ice storms and hard freezes in the north and around Atlanta. The coast faces tropical storms, and heavy thunderstorms are common statewide.
Season by season in Georgia
- Winter freezes
- North Georgia and metro Atlanta see a few hard freezes most winters, and homes on crawl spaces are the most exposed.
- Summer storms
- Intense rain tests sewer laterals and yard drainage in clay soil that sheds water slowly.
Problems the Georgia climate causes
Clay soil and sewer laterals
Cause: Wet-dry cycles in red clay.
Result: Soil movement and roots crack older laterals.
Do: Camera-inspect a lateral before replacing it to confirm where the break is.
Polybutylene and early plastic supply lines
Cause: Not weather-driven.
Result: Homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s may have supply lines prone to failure.
Do: Have a plumber identify your pipe material and plan replacement if needed.
Housing in Georgia
Intown Atlanta neighborhoods have early-twentieth-century homes with cast-iron and clay drains, while suburbs in Gwinnett, Cobb, Forsyth and Henry counties are dominated by houses built since the 1980s. Savannah's historic district has some of the oldest plumbing in the state.

Georgia questions
What is the difference between a Class I and Class II master plumber in Georgia?
Class I covers single-family homes, small multi-family and smaller commercial buildings. Class II has no restriction on building type.
Do Atlanta pipes need winter protection?
Yes during hard freezes. Insulate pipes in crawl spaces and on exterior walls, and disconnect hoses from outdoor spigots.
How do I check a plumber's license in Georgia?
Georgia licenses master and journeyman plumbers through the Division of Master and Journeyman Plumbers under the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. A Class I master plumber is limited to single-family and smaller commercial work; a Class II master plumber license is unrestricted.
