Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Big Creek is one of the most recognizable geographic anchors in North Fulton County — the Big Creek Greenway corridor runs through communities spanning Alpharetta, Roswell, and Forsyth County, and the name carries real local identity for residents throughout the area. Homes in and around Big Creek range from established neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s along the Alpharetta and Roswell corridors to newer construction closer to the Forsyth County line. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Alpharetta has been serving homeowners throughout this area for years, and we understand the specific plumbing conditions that affect homes in this part of North Fulton.
The Big Creek watershed spans a range of housing vintages. Homes built along the Alpharetta and Roswell portions of the corridor in the late 1980s and 1990s are now 25 to 40 years old — precisely the age at which original copper plumbing begins to show age-related pitting corrosion. Pinhole leaks in copper pipe are a consistent pattern in homes of this age throughout the Big Creek area, and when they occur in slab-on-grade construction — the standard foundation type for North Fulton — locating and repairing them requires thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment rather than guesswork.
The mature tree cover along the Big Creek Greenway corridor also contributes to one of the more consistent sewer service call patterns we see in the area: tree root intrusion. The oak and pine canopy that defines this corridor extends root systems that grow toward buried sewer lines over decades. Camera inspection of the sewer line is the first step in diagnosing slow drains or backups in older homes in this area.

Sanders Poe
AJ was awesome and professional! He made sure the job was done perfectly
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.

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!

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!
Holly Morris
Sean was very courteous and professional when he came to our home. He was very thorough in checking and looking at all possibilities on what could be causing our leak. I really appreciated his time and expertise. Would highly recommend!
Yes. We serve homeowners throughout the Big Creek corridor, including established neighborhoods along Alpharetta’s Haynes Bridge Road and Roswell’s Holcomb Bridge Road corridors, as well as communities in south Forsyth County. Whether your home is adjacent to the greenway itself or in one of the surrounding subdivisions, we can be on site the same day in most cases. Call (678) 833-2754 any time.`
Homes built in the late 1980s through mid-1990s in the Big Creek area are entering the 30-to-40-year window where aging copper plumbing becomes most vulnerable to pitting corrosion. The most consistent warning signs are unexplained water bill increases, warm spots on tiled floors (indicating a hot water slab leak), musty odors near plumbing walls, and multiple pinhole leaks in different locations over a short period. If you’ve had more than one pinhole repair in the past few years, that pattern warrants a professional assessment of your system’s overall condition.
Yes. Tree root intrusion is one of the more common sewer issues in the Big Creek corridor given the density of mature hardwoods along the greenway. We use sewer camera inspection to locate root intrusions, offset joints, or collapsed sections precisely before recommending a repair approach. For contained damage, trenchless pipe patch repair — a cured-in-place liner inserted inside the existing pipe — avoids excavation in many cases.
For more extensive damage, traditional repair and replacement options are available with flat-rate pricing before any digging begins.
