"When the water at my vacation rental unexpectedly shut off on a Friday evening, I reached out to The Village Plumber after unsuccessful attempts to find other emergency help. Ryan arrived promptly, diagnosed the issue right away, and had everything restored quickly. My guests had running water again within 2.5 hours."

What We Fix
Plumbing Services in Ellijay, GA
From emergencies at midnight to routine installs, we handle all residential plumbing in North Georgia. No new construction, no commercial. Homeowners only, done right.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipe flooding your basement? Sewer backup? No water at 9pm? We respond to emergencies day and night throughout North Georgia.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
Tank and tankless water heater repair, replacement, and installation. Honest repair-vs-replace advice, same-day availability on urgent jobs.
Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal
Slow kitchen drain or full sewer backup, we clear it. Don't ignore a slow drain: early clearing is far cheaper than a full backup later.

Faucets, toilets, sinks, showers, garbage disposals, hose bibs. Most jobs completed same day. We clean up when we're done.
Water Treatment & Filtration
North Georgia well water is often hard or carries sediment. We install whole-home filtration, water softeners, and under-sink systems.
Also: gas lines, well pumps, bladder tanks, septic, burst pipes, garbage disposals, and more.
View All Services Call for Any JobWhy North Georgia Calls Ryan
No Call Center. No Strangers. No Surprises.
Ryan started The Village Plumber because he watched big companies stop caring. Here's what that means for you.
We Answer Our Own Phones
Call us and a real person picks up. No call center, no voicemail loop, no "someone will call you back." Ryan or a team member, every time.
Master Plumber Oversight on Every Job
Every job is performed or directly supervised by a licensed Master Plumber (MPR108473). Not random subcontractors, not unsupervised apprentices. The work meets the standard of the license on the door.
Family Owned, Not Corporate
Ryan left the corporate world because he disagreed with how customers got treated. His name and reputation are on every job. That's the difference.
We Show Up On Time
We commit to an appointment and we're there. No vague "sometime between 8 and 5" windows. Your time matters.
Free Estimates, No Trip Fee
You get a real price before any work starts. No surprise charges, no diagnostic fees, no "just-to-show-up" costs on your invoice.
100+ Google Reviews, All 5 Stars
Real customers in North Georgia trust us with their homes. Read what they say before you call. We're proud of every one of them.
