Since 1985, Keep Smiling Plumbing, Electric, Heating and Cooling has helped Gwinnett homeowners with plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning, all handled by one team. Maybe your Beaver Crossing home needs repiping, or the panel in your Historic Norcross house has seen better days.

View OptionsWhat a Licensed Plumber Does for Your Norcross Home
- Gas work done safely: Licensed plumbers repair and install gas lines to code, which protects your family from leaks and carbon monoxide risks.
- An end to repeat leaks: Replacing failing sections, or repiping the whole house when it’s needed, stops the cycle of patch after patch.
- Strong, steady water pressure: New supply lines bring back reliable flow to every shower and faucet.
- Small fixes before big damage: Addressing a weak valve or cracked fitting today keeps it from flooding a floor tomorrow.
- Written protection: Every repair is backed by a warranty in writing, so you know where you stand.
Plumbing Problems Common in Norcross Homes
Norcross has homes from nearly every decade of the past century and a half, and each era brings its own plumbing quirks. Older houses around the historic district may still have galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drains that have corroded from the inside, which causes low pressure, rusty water, and pinhole leaks. Many subdivisions built from the late 1970s into the early 1990s, including parts of Beaver Crossing and Williamsburg, were plumbed with polybutylene. That gray plastic pipe can turn brittle and split without much warning. Clay and cast iron sewer laterals from those same years tend to crack, settle, or let tree roots in. Georgia’s red clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, which slowly shifts underground pipes. Crawl spaces in older homes can leave pipes exposed when temperatures drop below freezing overnight.

Call (770)-273-9090Why Updating Your Electrical System Is Worth It
Electrical Red Flags in Norcross Homes
- Your panel says Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or another brand you don’t recognize
- An outlet sparks when you plug in a lamp or charger
- Lights throughout the house flicker during storms or windy days
- You’ve found scorch marks or discoloration on outlet covers or switch plates
- Your home was built in the late 1960s or 1970s and may have aluminum branch wiring
- A breaker feels hot to the touch or won’t reset after it trips
Some of the most serious electrical hazards hide behind walls and inside panels where you’ll never see them. Updating an older system protects your family, your belongings, and the value of your home.
- Known hazards removed: Replacing outdated panels and repairing aluminum wiring connections cuts down on overheating and fire risk.
- Capacity for modern life: A properly sized panel powers central air, kitchen appliances, and home offices without overloads.
- Safer kitchens, baths, and garages: GFCI and AFCI protection guards against shocks and electrical fires where they’re most likely.
- Electronics protected from storms: Whole-home surge protection helps shield TVs, computers, and appliances from lightning spikes.
- A smoother home sale: Updated electrical work tends to pass inspections more easily and gives buyers confidence.
Electrical Issues We Find in Norcross
A lot of Norcross homes built in the 1970s and 1980s came with panels that have since earned a poor safety reputation. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels in particular can fail to trip during an overload. Some houses from the late 1960s and 1970s were wired with aluminum branch circuits. Where aluminum wire meets outlets and switches, connections can loosen and overheat over the years unless they’re repaired with the right materials. Older homes near downtown may still have ungrounded two-prong outlets and service that’s too small for central air and modern kitchens. Summer thunderstorms bring frequent lightning to western Gwinnett, and the resulting surges can damage electronics in an instant. Storm-related outages are a regular concern too, which has more Norcross families asking about generators.
Air conditioners in Norcross do a lot of heavy lifting from late spring into fall. Keeping yours in good shape saves money on energy, prevents water damage, and keeps your home comfortable through the worst of the heat.
- A cooler, drier home: Correct refrigerant levels and clean coils help your system remove humidity as well as heat.
- Fewer leaks and overflows: Clearing condensate lines during maintenance prevents water from soaking floors and ceilings.
- Healthier indoor air: Fresh filters and IAQ upgrades cut down on dust, mold spores, and seasonal allergens.
- Lower energy bills: A tuned system uses less electricity to reach and hold your thermostat setting.
- A worthwhile upgrade: Replacing an older or R-22 system improves efficiency and comes with fresh warranty coverage.
In Norcross, controlling moisture matters just as much as cooling the air. Condensate drain lines clog with algae and debris during humid months, and that can send water spilling around the furnace or indoor coil. Many homes from the 1970s and 1980s have ductwork that has lost insulation or pulled apart at the joints over the decades, wasting cool air in hot attics and damp crawl spaces. Each spring, pine pollen coats outdoor coils and restricts airflow until it’s cleaned off. Systems still running on R-22 are getting more expensive to service every year as that refrigerant grows harder to find. Long run times also wear out capacitors and contactors faster here than in milder climates.
