Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Dobbins Air Reserve Base is a United States Air Force Reserve installation in Marietta, Cobb County, located adjacent to Lockheed Martin's Marietta facility on the northwest side of the city. The surrounding residential communities house a mix of military families, base personnel, and long-established Marietta residents in neighborhoods that developed primarily in the 1950s through the 1980s. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves the residential areas surrounding Dobbins as part of our broader Marietta service territory, bringing the same 24/7 availability and licensed technicians that serve all of Cobb County.
The neighborhoods surrounding Dobbins Air Reserve Base are among the older established residential areas in Marietta. Homes in this corridor were built primarily from the 1950s through the 1980s, with a particularly significant share of mid-century ranch-style construction from the 1950s and 1960s. Homes of this age may still have original galvanized steel supply lines, which corrode internally over decades and produce progressively restricted flow, rust-tinted water, and eventually line failure. A pipe material assessment is the appropriate starting point for any older home in this area where the original supply plumbing has never been evaluated.
Homes from the 1970s and 1980s in this corridor are more likely to have copper supply lines, which become susceptible to age-related pitting corrosion in the 30-to-50-year range — the documented regional pattern that produces pinhole leaks throughout Cobb County's older housing stock. Slab-on-grade construction is standard for this era, which means slab leaks are a consistent service pattern. Drain cleaning is also a frequent service in this area given the age of the drain lines and the tree cover that characterizes these established neighborhoods.
Many homes in the Dobbins area corridor are on second or third-generation water heaters. Units that are 10 or more years old warrant an annual maintenance visit at minimum and a proactive replacement assessment if sediment sounds are present or hot water output has declined. We service all major brands and are a Navien NSS certified installer for tankless conversions with a 10-year parts and labor warranty.

Buffalo Girl
All very nice people! They got me in the next day for a consultation and after giving the green light to fix my issues, the plumber was scheduled to come out same day. Benjamin was the consultant and he couldn’t have been nicer and explained everything to me. Especially for not being from here, but from Texas, I didn’t know a lot about how things are done differently bc of true winters. Vince and his partner did a Fantastic job rerouting my water line

A 1960s home in this corridor has plumbing that is approximately 60 years old. The priorities depend on what's been replaced over the decades, but the areas most worth assessing are: supply line material — original galvanized steel corrodes internally and should be replaced if still present; drain lines — cast iron from this era can have significant internal corrosion, root intrusion, or offset joints after six decades; the water service line from the street to the home; and the water heater age and condition. A full plumbing assessment gives you a clear picture before anything fails rather than discovering problems through an emergency.
Yes. Cast iron drain lines in homes from the 1950s and 1960s accumulate grease, scale, and internal corrosion over decades in ways that standard methods cannot fully address. We use hydrojetting — high-pressure water that scours the interior of the drain line clean — for recurring or stubborn blockages, and sewer camera inspection to assess the structural condition of the line. For drain lines with significant internal deterioration or root intrusion, trenchless pipe lining can restore function without full excavation in many cases.
