If your pipes are groaning, dripping, or downright misbehaving, we hear you—and we’ve got your back. At Cheeky, we talk to homeowners every day who are stressed about leaks, low water pressure, or surprise plumbing disasters. Here’s the good news: most pipe problems give warning signs, and with the right team on your side, they don’t have to turn into a full-blown emergency. When it comes to plumbing in Cumming, Cheeky knows the homes, the history, and the hidden pipe problems lurking behind your walls.
Why Older Forsyth County Homes Are at Higher Risk
Many homes in Forsyth County built before 1995 share a common plumbing issue: polybutylene pipes. Back in the day, polybutylene was popular because it was inexpensive and easy to install. Unfortunately, time has proven that it doesn’t age well. These pipes are highly prone to leaks, cracks, and sudden failures—often without much warning. That’s why pipe replacement has become such a frequent service in older neighborhoods throughout the area.
If your home still has polybutylene piping, it’s not a matter of if it will fail—it’s a matter of when. And when it does, the damage can be extensive, affecting walls, floors, and even your home’s foundation
Polybutylene pipes can degrade due to chlorine in water, temperature fluctuations, and natural aging. Even a small leak can turn into a hidden problem, silently damaging walls, cabinets, and flooring over months or years. Homeowners often don’t realize the extent of the damage until it’s too late—and we hate seeing that happen.
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
We always tell our customers to trust their instincts. If something feels off, it probably is. Common red flags include unexplained water stains, musty smells, fluctuating water pressure, discolored water, or an unexpected spike in your water bill. These are all signs your pipes may be deteriorating behind the scenes.
Waiting can turn a manageable repair into a costly restoration project. Acting early can save you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration.
