5.6 miles FROM DALLAS
Plumber in Hiram, GA
Hiram grew up around a rail depot and a mill in the 1890s and is now Paulding County's busiest commercial corridor, and its plumbing calls split cleanly between those two eras.
Hiram sits about 5.6 miles from Dallas along the same Piedmont clay and Paulding County water supply, but it has its own distinct mix of building stock and its own commercial growth story worth understanding before assuming Dallas's exact plumbing profile applies unchanged.
The city was founded in 1891 as a rural railroad town, originally known as Gray's Mill, and its historic downtown business district still has buildings and homes from well before Hiram's modern commercial boom. That older core sits alongside a fast-growing retail and healthcare corridor built almost entirely within the past two decades.
A downtown built in 1891, a corridor built since 2008
Hiram's historic downtown, centered around its original rail-depot-era streets, still has structures with plumbing dating back decades, the same galvanized-and-cast-iron profile that shows up in Dallas's own older core. A short distance away, Hiram has become the primary commercial center of Paulding County, anchored by developments like the WellStar Paulding Hospital campus and a Costco that opened in 2021 to one of the busiest openings the chain has recorded, both built within the same recent growth wave that's brought a wave of new retail plumbing infrastructure to the corridor.
State Highways 92 and 120 both pass through Hiram, connecting it to Cobb, Douglas, and Carroll counties, and that connectivity is part of why Hiram absorbed so much of Paulding County's commercial growth even as Dallas remained the county seat. For residential plumbing, that means Hiram's newer subdivisions built to serve that commercial growth share the same construction-wave pattern seen in Dallas, water heaters, supply lines, and fixtures all reaching a similar age across whole streets built in the same short window.
The scale of that growth is worth putting in context. Paulding County's population grew from about 41,600 in 1990 to more than 188,000 by 2024, and Hiram and Dallas were consistently named the county's two fastest-growing places through that stretch. A county that grows that fast rarely grows its sewer infrastructure at the same pace, which is a large part of why septic systems remain common even close to Hiram's busy commercial corridor rather than only out in the more rural parts of the county.

Questions
Asked in Hiram
Does Hiram have its own water system separate from Dallas?
No, Hiram is served by the same Paulding County Water System that supplies Dallas, drawing primarily from the Richland Creek Reservoir and supplemented by water purchased from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority.
Is Hiram's older downtown plumbing different from its newer areas?
Yes, noticeably. Buildings in Hiram's historic downtown, dating back toward the city's 1891 founding as a rail town, are far more likely to still have original galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains than the newer commercial and residential construction built along the growth corridor since the mid-2000s.
Why has Hiram grown so much commercially compared to Dallas?
Hiram sits at the crossing of State Highways 92 and 120, giving it direct connections to Cobb, Douglas, and Carroll counties, which made it the natural spot for the county's major retail and healthcare development, including the WellStar Paulding Hospital campus.
Do you serve both Hiram and Dallas from the same team?
Yes, we serve Hiram, Dallas, and the surrounding Paulding County area from the same dispatch, so a call to either city reaches the same licensed plumbers.
