Piping & Repiping in Macon, GA
Pipe Repair and Repiping Services for Middle Georgia Homes
The pipes in your home work silently behind the scenes until something goes wrong. For many Macon homeowners, that moment arrives without warning: a sudden drop in water pressure, discolored water, an unusually high water bill, or a leak in an unexpected place. Sometimes a targeted repair is all you need, while other times, replacing aging pipes is the more practical and cost-effective path forward.
Since 1988, Ricky Heath has been assessing, repairing, and replacing residential piping for Central Georgia families. Our licensed plumbers can accurately diagnose the health of your system and provide a clear, honest look at your options before any work begins.

Why Pipe Problems Are Common in Macon's Older Homes
Macon is home to beautiful older neighborhoods like Ingleside, Vineville, and Shirley Hills. Many of these houses were built when galvanized steel was the standard for water lines. Over time, galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, gradually restricting water flow, releasing rust into your water supply, and eventually leading to leaks at weakened points.
Another common issue is polybutylene piping, which was widely installed between the mid-1970s and mid-1990s. This material tends to degrade when exposed to the chlorine in our local water supply, becoming brittle and prone to cracking at joints and fittings. If your home was built or renovated during this period, it is a good idea to have your system checked.
Piping & Repiping Services at Ricky Heath
Ricky Heath provides a full range of pipe repair and replacement services, including:
- Pipe leak repair: We locate and fix leaks in supply and drain lines, addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
- Slab leak repair: We use advanced acoustic and thermal diagnostic equipment to pinpoint leaks beneath concrete, allowing for the least invasive repair possible.
- Partial repiping: When a failure is isolated to one area of your home, we replace only the affected lines, saving you time and money.
- Whole-home repiping: When a system reaches the end of its lifespan, we replace all supply lines with modern materials while minimizing disruption to your home.
- Drain line repair and replacement: We repair or replace cracked or root-invaded drain lines using excavation or trenchless methods, depending on the extent of damage.
- Pipe material upgrades: We replace outdated galvanized steel and polybutylene with PEX or copper, both of which offer much longer lifespans and better reliability.
