Short answer: The Village Plumber takes jobs in Dalton, the county seat of Whitfield County. Call or text Ryan for burst pipes, leaks, water heaters, drains, sewer lines and gas lines.
Ryan drives in from Ellijay, about 30 miles east of Dalton. The trip crosses mountain country, so distance does not tell you the whole story. When you get in touch, he will say when he can realistically be there.
Pipe burst or water running in Dalton?
Close the main shutoff first. Then call Ryan. If the call drops, text him the address and what is happening.
Dalton Utilities supplies water, wastewater service, natural gas and electric service to the City of Dalton and to parts of Whitfield, Murray, Gordon, Catoosa and Floyd counties. That means one provider may be on the other end of several problems at your home.
A rule of thumb: an outage or a problem in the street goes to the utility, and a problem past your meter or inside your walls goes to a plumber. If you are not sure, Ryan can help you work out which side it is on. If you smell gas, do not stop to sort that out. Leave the house, then call from outside.
Open means open. Ryan takes calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays and weekends included.
Most calls are not emergencies. Ryan also repairs and installs water heaters, clears slow or clogged drains by machine, and fits faucets, toilets, sinks and showers. A fixture swap is typically done the same day if you already have the fixture on hand.
He runs gas lines for ranges, dryers and water heaters, and for standby generators, where he does the gas side only and an electrician handles the wiring. He also sets up water filtration and softeners, and works on well pumps and the plumbing side of septic systems for homes farther out. He does not do drywall or insulation, so plan on someone else for that after a leak.
Dalton's own city website notes that Interstate 75 runs through Mill Creek Gap, across ground where much of the Battle of Rocky Face was fought. When you text Ryan, give him your street address and the closest cross street, since he is coming from the far side of the county line and may be working somewhere with a weak signal when you write. A text still reaches him when a call would not connect.
Ryan's Georgia Master Plumber license is MPR108473. You will get the price before work starts, warranty terms in writing, and a straight answer if something does not need fixing. He accepts cash, check, all major credit cards and Venmo.
"I had 3 different companies in the area come out to fix the same issue. I'm so glad I found The Village Plumber who ACTUALLY fixed my issue. My only regret is that I didn't call them first. They came and fixed everything fast and affordable."
