Endless hot water, twice the lifespan: is a tankless water heater right for your home?

Unlike a traditional tank that stores 40–80 gallons and keeps it heated around the clock, a tankless water heater heats water only when you need it. The payoff: hot water that never runs out, lower energy use, a 20+ year lifespan (about double a standard tank), and the floor space back in your garage or utility closet.

Installation quality is everything with tankless, and that's where certification matters. We're a Navien NSS (Navien Service Specialist) certified installer — our technicians are manufacturer-trained on correct gas sizing, venting, and setup — which lets us back our Navien tankless installs with a 10-year parts and labor warranty, one of the strongest available in the Marietta area.

Worth knowing before you commit: tankless units need annual descaling to stay efficient and keep the warranty valid. Cobb County's soft water makes that maintenance lighter than in hard-water regions, but it's still required, not optional. We offer maintenance plans to take care of it.

Want to know if tankless makes sense for your home? We'll walk you through it with flat-rate pricing before any work begins. Serving Marietta, East Cobb, Smyrna, Vinings, Sandy Springs, and Cumberland. Book online anytime.

The most common leak we find is also the easiest to fix.

The angle stop is the small shutoff valve under your sinks and behind your toilets — the one you'd reach for to cut water to a single fixture. It's a small part, but it's one of the most frequent sources of leaks we see in Marietta, East Cobb, and Smyrna homes.

Here's why: these valves rarely get used, so the rubber washers and seals inside harden and stiffen over the years. When they finally fail, it shows up two ways — a valve that's seized solid right when you need to shut the water off, or a slow drip at the valve or its connection to the supply line. That slow kind is the sneaky one; it can quietly soak a cabinet base or subfloor for months before you spot the damage.

In older Cobb County homes, the original valves and supply lines are often decades old and simply past their service life. Replacement is quick and inexpensive, and upgrading an old multi-turn valve to a modern quarter-turn stop means the next shutoff takes one easy motion. Flat-rate pricing quoted before any work begins.

The best water in your house can come straight from the kitchen tap.

Cobb County's water is soft, well-treated, and fully compliant with federal safety standards — but for the water you actually drink and cook with, a reverse osmosis system takes it to another level.

RO works by forcing water through an extremely fine membrane that removes far more than a standard filter: chlorine and the taste and odor it carries, lead and other heavy metals, and the trace PFAS "forever chemicals" that Cobb County's own 2024 testing detected at low levels in the supply. The result is clean, great-tasting drinking water — the difference shows up fast in your coffee, tea, ice, and anything you cook with water.

Most RO systems tuck neatly under the kitchen sink with their own dedicated faucet, and we can run a line to the fridge and ice maker as well. As a Brita PRO authorized dealer, we'll recommend the right system for your home and keep it serviced over time. Flat-rate pricing quoted before any work begins.

Clearing the same drain over and over? It might be time to replace the pipe.

A lot of homes across Marietta, East Cobb, and Smyrna were built before 1990 with cast iron drain lines — and cast iron has a working life. After 40 to 50 years it corrodes internally, the inner wall flakes and narrows, debris catches on the rough surface, and eventually the pipe cracks or sags. It's one of the most common drain conditions we find on camera inspections in older Cobb County homes.

The signs tend to creep up: repeated backups that return weeks after each clearing, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, intermittent sewage smells, or wet, soft, or unusually green spots in the yard over the sewer line. Once the deterioration is in the pipe wall, snaking only resets the clock — it doesn't fix the cause.

We begin with a camera inspection so you can see the actual condition of the line, then lay out your options. For contained damage, trenchless pipe lining often restores the line without excavating your yard. For more extensive deterioration, a targeted replacement is the sounder long-term investment. Flat-rate pricing quoted before any work begins.

A shower that drips when it's off isn't going to fix itself.

If your shower or tub has been dripping no matter how tight you turn the handle, or the temperature mix has gotten unreliable, the culprit is almost always the cartridge inside the valve — a small plastic-and-rubber component hidden in the wall that does the actual work of controlling your water.

Cartridges wear out. The rubber seals harden over years of use, the internal parts wear down, and eventually the shut-off just doesn't shut off anymore. Chlorine in Cobb County's water gradually dries those seals out, which is one reason cartridges in older Marietta, East Cobb, and Smyrna homes tend to start failing around the 8-to-15-year mark.

Roots in the Sewer Line — Sometimes the Right Fix Means Digging

That's a repaired sewer line from a job in Marietta. Camera inspection found root intrusion through a joint — and once we assessed the full extent of the damage, the excavator was the right tool for the job.

Root intrusion is one of the most consistent sewer findings we see throughout East Cobb and Marietta. The mature hardwoods that define East Cobb's wooded character have had 30 to 50 years to extend root systems toward buried sewer lines. In older homes with cast iron drain lines, root intrusion combined with internal corrosion can accelerate deterioration significantly — and by the time symptoms appear, the damage is often beyond what a trenchless patch can address.

When the damage is contained to a short section with sound surrounding pipe, trenchless pipe patch repair handles it without excavation. This job required more. We dug, removed the damaged section, and restored the line correctly with flat-rate pricing agreed before any work began.

Camera inspection determines the repair so we can make the right call!
