Weather and water

The city office

Tucker Building and Permitting, (678) 597-9040, lists replacing a water heater, replacing broken water lines, sewer line replacement and replacing or relocating a panel box among the jobs that need a permit. Painting, and repairs to a plumbing fixture that stays where it is, do not. The page also notes that a subdivision's covenants can apply where the city does not regulate an item, so check with the homeowners association. The licensing page puts the occupational tax certificate office in City Hall, 1975 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 350. Nothing on the city's pages lays out a permit program for water damage work as such; put the specific repair to the office.

Lilburn and Snellville on the other side of the county line

This site also covers Lilburn water damage and Snellville water damage. Both are Gwinnett County cities, so their water department, emergency line and permit offices are not Tucker's. Tucker's own public works form includes a Stormwater, Flooding Evaluation choice and says to call 911 for imminent danger.

Keep the address, the wet room and the flooring type handy, then call (678) 835-3780. For a rental, contact the landlord or property manager first.
