Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
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.
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: sediment naturally accumulates inside any tank over time, and a unit that’s 15 to 25 years old is often 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.

Mike was great, very professional and great at his craft.

Great experience with this company and technician Dave!-- We had to do a waste and overflow repair in our bathtub when our drain shoe got broken. Our house is on a concrete slab and we were told by a previous company that we would probably need to replace our whole tub. So we called around to try to find another option. It was already later in the day, but Benjamin Franklin Plumbing sent someone within an hour. Dave came out and said he could fix it no problem. He had to get some parts, but was able to come back first thing the morning after and had it done in less than 2 hours. He showed us everything he did and that there was no leaks. Very kind and courteous. He even cleaned up before leaving.

We had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta out for a whole home plumbing inspection and found out our water heater is 12 years old and on borrowed time. They walked us through everything, explained our options, and never pressured us into replacing it. We’ll definitely be calling them when we’re ready.

We had Ben Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta come out to check the hard water at our Oakhurst home. They tested our water, explained everything clearly, and never tried to pressure us. Which is a welcome surprise. We’ll most likely be moving forward with a whole home water filtration system. Great experience, and we’re glad to have them serving the Intown area. Highly recommend!

If you have teenagers you know the struggle with hot water! We were advised by our neighbors in Oakhurst, to try these new guys out. Wow. Great service! We were losing hot water too quick. They came out, inspected everything, answered all our question and recommended making the switch to tankless. We appreciate they weren’t pushy and helped us understand the options. Really impressed with the service and we’ll def be using them for installation when they open in a couple of weeks.
Derrick Taylor
In my experience this is a very professional company, they did the job fast and good!!!
Renee Ward
Our water heater suddenly quit at our house in Stone Mountain, so we called Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta. From the first phone call to the installation, everything was calm and easy. They showed up when they said they would, wore cover to protect our floors, replaced the water heater, and cleaned everything up before they left. While they were here, we talked about a couple of remodeling projects we’re hoping to do over the next year. They gave us some really helpful advice about the plumbing and things to think about before we even start. It was nice getting ideas without feeling like we were being sold anything. We’ll definitely be calling them back when we’re ready to start those projects. We're really happy we found them.

I’ve been a customer of Trey’s for decades and he is nothing short of awesome. He is skilled at diagnosing exactly what the issue is and rectifying it. He is not one of those guys that sells you a bunch of unnecessary nonsense to make a buck. He is definitely about great service and long lasting relationships. What more could you ask for?
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.
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.
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.
