How contractors use DeKalb County plumbing permits

Spot replacement waves: water heater and gas line filings show which neighborhoods have aging equipment. Use them to plan mailers and service-area ads.
Find adjacent work: gas line filings often come with generators, pool heaters, outdoor kitchens or fire pits, all of which bring work for other trades.
Know who already won the job: plumbing permits are filed by the licensed plumber, so they show activity in an area rather than an open bid.
Bid earlier: new homes, additions and bathroom or kitchen remodels need a plumber. The weekly PermitKite digest lists those at the building-permit stage.
