About the area
Buford has a historic downtown and City Hall on Buford Highway, surrounded by decades of growth: older homes near the center, large newer subdivisions toward Hamilton Mill and Sugar Hill, and commercial development around I-985 and the Mall of Georgia. Buford Dam Park and other Corps of Engineers parks on Lake Lanier are a short drive north. The terrain is hilly, so many homes have basements or daylight lower levels.
Water damage patterns in Buford
- Basements and lower levels on sloped lots that take on runoff in heavy rain. See basement flooding cleanup.
- New-construction plumbing such as PEX connectors, washer boxes and supply lines failing in the first years.
- Attic HVAC and water heaters in newer two-story homes.
- Freeze damage to lines in garages, crawl spaces and exterior walls on the coldest nights.
Emergency services
Buford has its own city police department and city services, while Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services covers fire and EMS across the county. For water near electrical, a gas smell or a sagging ceiling, call 911 first.

Common questions
Does Lake Lanier cause flooding in Buford homes?
Lake Lanier is a reservoir held back by Buford Dam on the Chattahoochee, managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, so most Buford homes are not exposed to lake flooding. Water damage in the area more often comes from plumbing, appliances, AC drains, roof leaks and storm runoff into basements on hilly lots.
Who supplies water to my Buford home?
It depends on the address. Many Buford-area homes are on Gwinnett County water, while the City of Buford runs its own utility services for some customers. Check your water bill before calling about a meter or main problem. Either way, plumbing on your side of the meter is your responsibility.
