Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Chattahoochee Plantation is a distinctive unincorporated community in Cobb County with a fascinating history. Originally incorporated as a city in 1961 in anticipation of a luxury residential development centered on a golf club, Chattahoochee Plantation was briefly used in 1968 to extend Cobb County's boundaries across the entire county as a legal mechanism to prevent Atlanta from expanding into Cobb. The city was dissolved in 1995. Today the Chattahoochee Plantation area encompasses gated communities, riverfront properties along Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and upscale residential enclaves that include the Atlanta Country Club. It sits in the east Cobb riverside corridor near Vinings.
The Chattahoochee Plantation area includes some of Cobb County's most distinctive and varied residential properties — from mid-century ranch-style homes near the river corridors to newer custom construction on wooded lots. The older properties in this area date to the 1960s and 1970s, placing their original plumbing in the 50-to-60-year range. At that age, original copper supply lines — where they have not already been partially replaced — are well past their expected service life, and pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing are a documented regional pattern throughout Cobb County.
Proximity to the Chattahoochee River and Sope Creek means the Chattahoochee Plantation area has some of the most significant mature tree cover in Cobb County. Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a consistent and well-documented service issue in this corridor. Sewer camera inspection is the appropriate first diagnostic step for any slow drain or sewer backup in a home of this age and setting.
For newer custom homes and estates in the Chattahoochee Plantation area, water heater service and tankless system maintenance are the primary ongoing plumbing considerations. The elevated lot values and landscaping in this area also make directional boring the preferred approach for water service line replacement, minimizing disruption to established grounds.

We had Christian from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing service come out to fix a leak in our home. He was patient, explained the procedure thoroughly, on time, and cleaned up the mess. We were pleased with his work.

Love the updates! Everything works perfectly!. The family is so thankful for the new complete water pipes lines, the new waterless tank, the toilet tank repair and most of all the new tub and tiles! The sink doesn’t backup anymore and the water taste so so much better! The metal taste is gone! The toilets don’t flush themselves anymore and the rattling of the pipes doesn’t exist anymore! Their master plumber is awesome; he’s worth every penny spent and more! Gerald, Ryan and team did beyond our family expectations! 5 stars

José was very knowledgeable. He verified that the low flow problem with my old faucet was due to the faucet and not in the house plumbing before installing the new faucet that we had bought a couple of days earlier. My wife and I preferred the design of the new faucet, and José eliminated our worry that the new faucet might not fix the low flow problem. The new faucet is leak free and works great.

Christian our house to diagnose an issue. The water department called and said we were losing 1 gallon per minute of water, continuous use. Christian Came twice with one service charge. He discovered That we had two toilets that were each causing continuous usage. Together, the two toilets were equaling A loss of 1 gallon a minute! For a fair price He fixed both toilets And eliminated the issue. He was polite, caring, honest and prompt!

Johnathan has been outstanding so far as still have final phase to go. He grasped concept of what we wanted and helped bring it into reality. Johnathan has communicated well and made sure we understood each step as work has progressed. Also kudos to Zach and Tony for their hard work in getting it done! In a follow up review Johnathan met to check on work done so we could move on to Step 2. Details were discussed, and we are moving to the next phase. Thanks to Johnathan for continuing to work with us and guide our project successfully. Very satisfied to date.

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Savannah Metro recently completed the plumbing work for our bathroom remodel, and we were very pleased with the results. They re-piped the bathroom efficiently, kept us informed throughout the process, and delivered quality workmanship. The team was professional, respectful of our home, and made the entire process stress-free. We would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable plumbing services.
The easiest way to get a reliable picture of your pipe material is a professional plumbing assessment. A licensed plumber can identify pipe materials at visible access points — under sinks, near the water heater, at the meter, and at any exposed sections in utility areas — and give you a clear report on what you're working with. For homes in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor from the 1960s and 1970s, the most likely materials are copper supply lines, cast iron drain lines, and in some cases galvanized steel in sections that were not updated. Each of these has a different service profile and knowing what you have is the foundation for making informed decisions about repair vs. replacement.
Tree roots grow toward moisture and the nutrients in a functioning sewer line. They enter through joints, cracks, or small gaps in older clay or cast iron lines, then expand inside the pipe as they follow the water flow. The mature tree cover along the Chattahoochee and Sope Creek corridors means root systems from established hardwoods have had decades to extend toward buried drain lines. Sewer camera inspection is the only accurate way to assess root intrusion — it shows exactly where the roots are and how extensive the infiltration is. For contained intrusion, trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining avoids excavation. For more extensive damage, traditional repair or section replacement is the appropriate solution.
Yes. Directional boring is our preferred approach for water service line replacement on properties in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor where established landscaping, long driveways, or mature grounds make open trenching unnecessarily disruptive. Directional boring installs the new line underground without excavating the surface — preserving lawns, gardens, and hardscaping. We assess whether directional boring is feasible for your specific site conditions during the diagnostic visit and provide flat-rate pricing for the full scope before any work begins.
