Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Ashebrook is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, part of the established suburban neighborhoods that characterize east and north Marietta. The community is situated within the heart of East Cobb and reflects the residential development that shaped this area during the 1980s and 1990s. Homes in Ashebrook are primarily single-family residences set in the wooded, amenity-rich setting that defines East Cobb's residential character. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves Ashebrook as part of our East Cobb and Marietta service territory.
East Cobb homes from the 1980s and 1990s share a consistent plumbing profile: slab-on-grade foundations with copper supply lines that are now 30 to 40 years old. This age range is where pinhole leaks in copper supply lines become a documented regional pattern across Cobb County, with the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority having commissioned a 2018 forensic analysis by Virginia Tech researchers to study the problem. The research pointed to pipe age and several contributing factors rather than a single cause. Pinhole leaks in different locations over time, slab leaks in supply lines beneath the foundation, and gradual water bill increases before any visible sign of a problem are the consistent patterns we see throughout East Cobb homes of this vintage.
The wooded character of East Cobb neighborhoods like Ashebrook also means tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a recurring service issue. Mature hardwoods that were planted or established when these homes were built have had 30 to 40 years to extend root systems toward buried drain lines. Sewer camera inspection is the appropriate first diagnostic step for any slow drain or backup that doesn't resolve with standard clearing.

Found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta through our Decatur neighborhood group after some questionable work from another plumber. They are trustworthy and no hassle at all. Exactly what this town needs. You won’t regret calling these guys—they’re awesome!
Andrew Anselmo
Tech were prompt and had the repair done in no time. Very professional and thorough. Explained every option and listened to my questions and concerns. Highly recommend
Cheri Carver
Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Kelly Harter
Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.

Angel C was in fact a literal angel. He was extremely kind and professional. Up front about costs and quotes. This was my first time having to hire someone for an home repair and was very nervous about the process but he was amazing. I will definitely be a returning customer ( if I have to be ) and will be requesting Angel! Seriously cannot thank him enough!
Yes — pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing are a documented regional pattern across Cobb County, common enough that the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority commissioned engineering studies of the problem, including a 2018 forensic analysis by Virginia Tech researchers. The research pointed to a combination of contributing factors rather than a single cause: pipe age reaching the end of its service life, localized pitting corrosion on the inside of the pipe wall, original installation factors, and in some cases in-home conditions such as low-use, stagnant lines. With so much of Cobb County's 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s copper plumbing reaching the same age at the same time, pinhole leaks are a familiar pattern for plumbers across the area — including in Ashebrook homes of this vintage.
Slab leak detection — the diagnostic phase using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment to locate the leak point before any concrete is opened — is a professional service we perform as part of the slab leak service call. We provide flat-rate pricing for the full repair scope, including the concrete patch, before any work begins. The most important thing to understand about cost is that early detection dramatically limits total expense. A slab leak caught at the warm-floor or elevated-bill stage costs far less to address than one that has been running long enough to require foundation stabilization or mold remediation in addition to the plumbing repair.
Yes. CCMWA's water is soft, drawn from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee, so hard-water scale isn't a primary concern here. The treatments most relevant to East Cobb homes are whole-home catalytic carbon filtration — which removes chlorine and improves taste and odor at every tap, and is gentler on skin and rubber seals than untreated chlorinated water — and a point-of-use reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink for drinking water and the trace PFAS compounds detected in the local supply. We also install whole-home softeners for homeowners who prefer the feel of softened water. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full installation and ongoing service.
