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.

Brandon was amazing - knowledgeable, timely, professional, and even checked in after the initial visit to make sure things were working properly. I will absolutely call again for future plumbing needs. Thank you!

I have known and worked with John for many years. Recently, we had a major leak involving a failed water heater. John replaced it and also arranged and coordinated removal of water damaged drywall as well its replacement prior to installation of the new water heater. We are pleased with the outcome and appreciated his dependability and reasonable price.

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.
