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.

Plumbing Needs in the Dobbins Area Communities

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.

Water Heater Service Near Dobbins

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.

Jonathan Poole

Found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta through our Decatur neighborhood group after some questionable work from another plumber. They are trustworthy and no hassle at all. Exactly what this town needs. You won’t regret calling these guys—they’re awesome!

Andrew Anselmo

Tech were prompt and had the repair done in no time. Very professional and thorough. Explained every option and listened to my questions and concerns. Highly recommend

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.

Kelly Harter

Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Brenda George

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!

Cynthia V. Bell

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.

Gail Irwin

Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!

Brian Doherty

Jason Eckert diagnosed my plumbing leak issue quickly and explained the fix needed, provided an estimate, and quickly completed the job. Good communication, and all around pleasant to deal with. Thanks!

Scott was awesome! Timely, efficient, communicative, & very helpful. He unclogged our bathroom drains and did a great job.

Krystyne Bryan

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!

Frequently Asked Questions — Plumbing in near Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Marietta GA

My home near Dobbins was built in the 1960s. What plumbing should I prioritize checking?

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.

Do you handle drain cleaning for older homes with cast iron drain lines?

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.
