Plumber in Canton, GA
Canton is the closest big town to our shop
Our shop is on Valley Street in Ball Ground, ten minutes north of downtown Canton, so Canton is where a large share of our trucks spend the day: BridgeMill and Sixes on the west side, Hickory Flat and the Highway 140 side to the east, Great Sky and Laurel Canyon to the north, the older homes around downtown and the Highway 20 corridor, and the subdivisions that keep going up along Highway 5 and Union Hill Road. When a water heater lets go or a sewer line backs up, the plumber who shows up is coming from the next town over, not from the other side of Atlanta.
Performance Plumbing is licensed and insured (Georgia master plumber license MP210684), a real person answers the phone 24 hours a day, and we do not charge a service call fee. You get a flat rate quote before any work starts, and the number you hear is the number you pay.
Every plumbing service, one licensed company
Everything on this site is available in Canton: water heater repair and installation, tankless water heaters, drain cleaning, hydro jetting, sewer camera inspections, sewer line repair and replacement, leak detection, slab leak repair, water line repair, whole house repiping, gas line installation and repair, clogged toilets, kitchen plumbing and garbage disposals, sump pumps, bathroom remodels, basement finishing plumbing, water filtration, commercial plumbing, and septic pumping and repair in Canton for the homes outside the city sewer lines.
Water heater installation and repair in Canton
Water heaters are the most common Canton call we get. Tank units in the subdivisions built through the 2000s are hitting the ten to twelve year mark, and the signs are always the same: hot water running out early, rust colored water on the hot side, popping sounds from sediment, or water in the pan. We repair what is worth repairing and replace what is not, and we tell you which one before any work starts. We also install and service tankless water heaters across Canton, and we check gas line size and venting first, because a tankless unit needs more gas than the tank it replaces and a rushed install is why people end up unhappy with them.
Drain cleaning, sewer camera inspections and sewer line repair
One slow drain or a clogged toilet gets a cable machine the same day. A main line that keeps backing up gets a camera before anything else, so you see the pipe yourself and nobody sells you a sewer line replacement for a root intrusion that hydro jetting clears. When a line really is broken, bellied or collapsed, we repair or replace the section that needs it, and the camera footage is your documentation. One Canton drain repair we did is on this site: a home with an improperly trapped tub, an unvented powder room and years of drain problems, quoted over five thousand dollars by a plumber who took a deposit and never came back. Our crew fixed the whole system in one day, with the scope documented up front and nothing due until the work was finished. That is how every Canton job runs.
Leak detection, slab leaks and burst pipes
A water bill that jumped, a warm spot on the floor, a meter that spins with every fixture off, or a wet patch in the yard that never dries: we locate the leak electronically before anyone opens a wall or a slab, so the repair is one hole in the right place. Burst pipes and active leaks are a 24 hour call. Shut the water off at the house valve or the meter and call, a real person answers at any hour.
Gas lines in Canton
Gas line installation and repair is a large part of what we do in Canton: running new lines for ranges, dryers, tankless water heaters, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens and pool heaters, moving lines during a remodel, and finding and repairing leaks. Gas work is permitted and pressure tested, and it is done by a licensed master plumber, not a handyman.
Basement finishing and bathroom plumbing
Canton has a lot of unfinished basements and a lot of homeowners finishing them. We rough in and finish the plumbing for basement bathrooms, wet bars and kitchenettes, including sewage ejector pumps where the drain sits below the sewer line, and we work directly with your contractor or with you if you are running the project yourself. The BridgeMill basement bar on our projects page is one example. Bathroom remodels get the same treatment: tub to shower conversions, bathtub replacement, new fixtures, moving drains and supply lines.
Water filtration for Canton homes
Canton homes are on city or county water, which is treated and safe, but scale on fixtures, chlorine taste and spotted glassware are common complaints. We test the water, then size whole house carbon filtration, a softener or an under sink reverse osmosis system to the house, and we tie it in without choking your water pressure. If someone has quoted you a wall of equipment, call for a second opinion first.
Commercial plumbing and septic
For Canton restaurants, offices, retail and property managers we handle service calls, water heaters, backflow, grease traps and tenant build outs on a schedule that works around your business hours. For the Canton homes that are not on sewer, our septic division runs out of the same Ball Ground shop: pumping, inspections, drain field work and repairs in Canton, so the line from the house and the tank are handled by one licensed company.

Canton plumbing questions we hear every week
Do you charge a service call fee in Canton?
No. We come out, diagnose the problem and give you a flat rate quote before any work starts. If you decide not to move forward, you owe nothing for the visit.
How fast can a plumber get to Canton?
Our shop in Ball Ground is about ten minutes from downtown Canton. Emergencies get a truck the same day, around the clock. Routine work is usually scheduled within a day or two.
Do you handle emergency plumbing in Canton at night and on weekends?
Yes. A real person answers 24 hours a day, every day, and a licensed plumber comes out for burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups and no hot water.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
It depends on the age of the tank, the condition of the anode rod, and whether there is rust or sediment. We tell you whether a repair buys real time or whether you are paying to delay the inevitable, and the honest answer is sometimes repair.
Can you install a tankless water heater in my Canton home?
Yes. We install and service tankless units and we check gas line size and venting first, because the unit needs more gas than the tank it replaces.
How do I know if my sewer line needs to be replaced?
You do not know until a camera goes down the line. Repeated backups, gurgling, sewage smell or a soft spot in the yard are reasons to look. We run the camera, show you the footage, and recommend jetting, a spot repair or a replacement based on what is actually there.
Do you run gas lines for ranges, grills and pool heaters?
Yes. New gas lines, extensions during remodels, outdoor kitchen and pool heater lines, and gas leak repair, all permitted and pressure tested by a licensed master plumber.
Can you do the plumbing for a basement bathroom in Canton?
Yes. Rough in and finish for basement bathrooms, bars and kitchenettes, including sewage ejector pumps where the drain sits below the sewer line, working with your contractor or directly with you.
Do you work on septic systems in Canton?
Yes. Our septic division handles pumping, inspections, drain field work and repairs for Canton homes outside the city sewer lines, out of the same Ball Ground shop.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, financing is available on larger jobs like water heater replacements, repiping and sewer line work. Ask when you call and we will walk you through the options before any work starts.
