Serving the Cumberland Business District & Surrounding Neighborhoods

Cumberland is one of metro Atlanta's most recognizable residential corridors. Anchored by Cumberland Mall, the Cobb Galleria Centre, and The Battery Atlanta — home of Truist Park — Cumberland sits at the intersection of I-75 and I-285 and is home to a dense concentration of residential properties: townhome communities, apartment complexes, and established single-family neighborhoods within close reach of the Perimeter.

The density of residential properties in Cumberland — across a wide range of building types and ages — creates real plumbing demands for homeowners and renters throughout the corridor. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves the Cumberland area 24 hours a day, with licensed technicians already working in and around this community every week.

Plumbing Challenges in the Cumberland Area

Aging Pipe Systems & Water Heaters in Older Properties

Older condominium and townhome communities built in the 1980s and early 1990s — many adjacent to the Galleria and Cumberland Mall — have plumbing systems that are now 30 to 40 years old. Original polybutylene supply lines, aging water heaters well past their service life, and cast iron drain systems are common in these buildings. Water heaters in this age range are a particular concern: Cobb County's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup inside tanks, meaning many heaters in the Cumberland area are running inefficiently or approaching failure. We offer same-day water heater assessment and replacement, carrying both traditional tank and tankless systems.

Drain Cleaning & Sewer Issues in Dense Residential Properties

The density of townhome communities and apartment complexes throughout Cumberland creates consistent drain and sewer demands. Slow kitchen drains from grease and food debris accumulation, main line slowdowns in buildings with shared infrastructure, and root intrusion from the mature trees lining older parts of the corridor are among the most common drain issues we see here. Hydro jetting is often the right solution for persistent drain problems — it clears the pipe wall thoroughly rather than just punching through a clog, delivering results that last rather than providing temporary relief. A sewer camera inspection confirms whether the problem is inside the drain or further down the line.

Slab Leaks & Shifting Clay Soil

Single-family homes in the neighborhoods surrounding Cumberland — including properties along the Powers Ferry and Paces Ferry corridors — sit on Georgia's characteristic red clay soil and are subject to the same slab leak risk that affects homes throughout Cobb County. Seasonal ground expansion and contraction stresses buried copper supply lines, particularly in homes now 30 or more years old. An unexplained water bill increase, a warm floor spot, or the sound of running water with all fixtures off are the early signs to act on.

Jeremy Regan

Great service and expertise

Mark Bachmann

Cam came out to give me an estimate to install a water leak detection system. He seemed knowledgeable and helpful.

David Affeldt

Gas grill connection. This company gets it. Great service from beginning to the end. Highly recommend.

James Roach

Excellent, very knowledgeable, on time, polite and did his work clean and did not leave a mess. I would recommend him again .

T Denson

Clayton came out to provide an estimate for jetting our sewer lines. In all, I had 4 estimates. He showed up on time and polite. He was able to run the line to determine the approximate location of the clog. Ultimately, I chose to go with a different plumber but just due to a difference in price.

Dannie Hughes

Great company, great customer service! Response time was amazing.Very positive experience for a stressful time. The owners are nice people and they were eager to help!

Had the chance to connect with the owners ahead of their official opening, and they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and helpful. They took the time to answer questions and made a great first impression. If their service is anything like their customer approach, this will be a fantastic addition to the area. Looking forward to their grand opening!

Plumbing FAQs

My water heater in my Cumberland area home is making noise — should I replace it?

A noisy water heater — particularly a rumbling, popping, or banging sound — is usually sediment that has built up in the tank over time. In Cobb County, the moderately hard water supply accelerates this buildup, meaning water heaters in the area often develop sediment issues faster than the manufacturer's estimates. If your heater is under 8 years old and otherwise functioning well, a professional flush may resolve the noise and extend its useful life. If it is 10 years or older, the noise is a signal that the unit is approaching end-of-life, and a replacement conversation makes sense. We will give you an honest recommendation based on the actual condition of your unit — if a flush will solve it, that's what we will tell you. We carry and install both tank and tankless systems and can typically complete a same-day replacement if needed.

My condo building was built in the 1980s — what plumbing issues should I watch for?

Older condo and townhome buildings in the Cumberland area from the 1980s and early 1990s commonly have three plumbing concerns we see regularly. First is polybutylene piping in the individual unit supply lines — the gray plastic that fails from the inside out and is now well past its intended lifespan. Second is aging cast iron drain stacks that can rust, crack, and cause drainage problems in multiple units simultaneously. Third is water heaters that have often been in place since the original construction and are well overdue for replacement. If you have noticed slow drains, recurring leaks, rusty hot water, or inconsistent water pressure, any of these may be the cause. We can assess your unit's plumbing and give you a clear picture of what is at risk.

How do I know if I have a water leak increasing my bill near Cumberland?

An unexplained jump in your water bill — without a change in your usage patterns — is the most common early signal of a hidden leak. For homes and condos in the Cumberland area, the most likely sources are a running toilet (put food coloring in the tank to test the flapper), an underground supply line leak between the street and your building, or a slab leak beneath the foundation. We can perform a whole-home pressure test and use acoustic detection equipment to find the source without guesswork or unnecessary excavation. Call us at (770) 999-9871 for a leak detection assessment — catching it early is always far less expensive than dealing with the damage it causes if left unaddressed.
