Well Pump Repair in Johns Creek, GA

Johns Creek doesn't run its own water system; Fulton County supplies the city, treating Chattahoochee River water at the Tom Lowe plant located in Johns Creek itself. Private wells look to be few, and we found no source counting them. If your water is weak or gone, a plumber can find the real cause, and test a well if your property has one. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Johns Creek.

Does my Johns Creek house even have a well pump?

Almost certainly not. Fulton County serves north Fulton, everything north of the Chattahoochee, and lists Johns Creek among the cities it supplies. If you get a Fulton County water bill, the water reaches your meter under the county's pressure and there's no pump on your property. A house with a private well would have a capped casing in the yard and a pressure tank in a basement, garage or closet. If you've found an old casing on a lot that also has a county meter, it may be an abandoned well that a plumber can help you identify.

Why is my water pressure dropping if there's no pump?

Johns Creek is dominated by 1980s and 1990s subdivisions, and the median home dates to 1995. Pressure regulators, the brass valves that sit where the service line enters the house, typically wear out after a couple of decades, and many here are original. A failing regulator can make pressure weak, erratic or suddenly high. Other common causes are a leak on the service line between the meter and the house and debris lodged in fixture aerators after a main repair.

Who is responsible for which part of the water line?

Fulton County Public Works is responsible for repairs from the main to the meter. The homeowner is responsible for the line from the meter to the house. For sewer, the owner is responsible for the lateral from the home to the property line, even if a blockage sits in the public right-of-way. So a soggy patch in the front yard between the meter and the foundation is a plumbing repair. For drinking water emergencies on the county side, Fulton lists 770-640-3040 for north Fulton.

A note for Johns Creek homeowners

When you call the number on this page, you reach a free referral line, not a plumbing company, and you'll be connected with an independent local plumber. Mention when the pressure change began, whether it affects hot and cold equally, and whether your meter dial moves with everything off. Permits in the city go through the Community Development Building Division's online portal, and the plumber can tell you whether your job needs one.

Well Pump Repair questions in Johns Creek

Pressure fell and I'm on public water. Is a pump to blame?

No. Fulton County customers have no well pump, so look at the pressure regulator, a leak on your line, or clogged aerators.

Who do I call when the problem is the water main or the meter?

Fulton County handles the main-to-meter section; its north Fulton drinking water emergency line is 770-640-3040. The meter-to-house line is the owner's.

What is a booster pump, and do homes on city water ever need one?

A booster pump raises pressure on homes that sit high above the main. Most Johns Creek homes don't need one; replacing a worn regulator usually solves the complaint.

What does the pressure tank actually do?

Only well homes have a pressure tank. It stores water under air pressure so the pump doesn't run each time a tap opens.
