The Statham area we serve
Statham is about 13 miles west of Athens on University Parkway (GA-316). Real landmarks in the area include the Statham House and the former Statham High School, both marked by Georgia historical markers. Statham is named for Charles Statham, a University of Georgia official. It grew from 172 residents in 1900 to 2,813 in 2020.
Today the area is a small-town core of older homes near the school campuses, plus a large share of housing built during the 1990s and 2000s.
The pattern we see most in Statham is aging water heaters and original fixtures in 1990s-era homes, alongside older supply and drain lines near the town center. So a Statham call starts with the home's build decade, since a 30-year-old water heater and a 1930s drain line fail in very different ways.
Parts of Statham worth knowing include the older streets around Broad Street and Jefferson Street, where Statham Elementary and Bear Creek Middle School sit, plus newer lots on the town's edges.
What Statham's geology means for plumbing
Statham sits in the same Georgia Piedmont as Athens, 13 miles west, on red clay soil over rock. Homes built in the 1990s growth years are now old enough for their original water heaters and fixtures to fail, and the older homes near the school campuses can carry aging pipe, as in Athens' older neighborhoods.

Getting to Statham
University Parkway (GA-316, concurrent with US-29) runs straight west from the Athens Perimeter to Statham, where Georgia 211 meets it at Bethlehem Road. It is a fast, direct route, and that is why we treat Statham as the western edge of our regular dispatch area even though it sits in Barrow County.
How we handle a Statham call
A Statham call gets the same 24/7 dispatch as an in-town Athens call. We ask for the home's approximate build year when you call, because the answer shapes the diagnosis, from a 1990s water heater near the end of its life to older drain lines near the town center. We also confirm the street address up front, since ZIP 30666 covers a lot of ground beyond the town limits.
