If you smell gas in Fairburn, leave and call 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321 from outside. Repairs, new lines and pressure tests on your side of the meter are plumber work, so call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Fairburn.

Fairburn is a railroad town and former Campbell County seat on I-85 in south Fulton. The city runs electric, water, sewer and sanitation, but natural gas is not among its utilities, so Atlanta Gas Light is the expected pipe utility; check your bill to be sure. Nearly two-thirds of homes were built in 2000 or later, and Census survey data put the median build year at 2004.
What to do right now
- Gas smell? Leave the house. Don't use anything that might spark.
- Call from outside: 911 and Atlanta Gas Light at 877.427.4321.
- Stay out until you're told it is safe.
- Get the repair done. A plumber fixes the leak on your side of the meter and pressure tests the piping.
- Permits apply. Fairburn requires a city permit for trade work, including plumbing.

Calling for help
The number on this page connects you with an independent plumber who does gas work in Fairburn and south Fulton. Since most homes here were built after 2000, the common jobs are adding capacity and fixing fittings rather than replacing old pipe. If you plan to add a tankless water heater, an outdoor kitchen or a generator, ask the plumber to size the main supply for everything at once. Homes in newer subdivisions usually have a manifold, and the plumber may be able to add a dedicated port for the new appliance rather than tapping an existing branch. Call Georgia 811 before any digging for a yard line. A pressure test and city inspection come before the new line is put into service.
