Mountain Park is one of North Fulton’s most distinctive and historically interesting communities. Incorporated in 1927, Mountain Park began as a resort destination for Atlanta’s elite — a lakeside getaway of cottages and seasonal homes centered around Lake Cheerful, which was constructed in 1951 on what was once a cornfield straddling Cherokee and Fulton counties. Today Mountain Park is a small incorporated city of approximately 250 homes on 0.49 square miles of wooded land, served by the Roswell Police Department and zoned to North Fulton schools. It is one of the smallest municipalities in Fulton County and retains an intimate, wildlife-refuge character that sets it apart from the surrounding suburban development.

Why Mountain Park Homes Require Specialized Plumbing Attention

Mountain Park’s housing stock is among the oldest in North Fulton. Many of the community’s homes were built as summer cottages in the 1940s and 1950s, with full-time residential conversions occurring in subsequent decades. Homes of this age in this area frequently have plumbing systems that reflect multiple generations of repair and partial replacement rather than a single original installation. Galvanized steel supply lines from early construction eras, copper from mid-century replacements, and in some cases polybutylene from 1970s or 1980s updates can coexist within the same home’s plumbing system.

The wooded, lakeside environment also contributes to specific service patterns. Tree root intrusion into older clay or cast iron sewer drain lines is common. The proximity to Lake Cheerful and the community’s two small lakes means groundwater saturation levels can affect buried plumbing differently than in drier suburban settings.

Water heaters in Mountain Park homes deserve particular attention. Original cottage conversions and mid-century properties often have water heaters that have been replaced multiple times, and tracking the installation date and condition is not always straightforward in a home with a complex service history. Regardless of the unit’s age, annual flushing and anode rod inspection are the most effective maintenance steps for extending service life. For homes where the water heater is approaching or past 10 years old, a proactive assessment — before a failure rather than in response to one — gives homeowners time to evaluate traditional tank versus tankless options on their own schedule. We are one of the only plumbers in North Fulton to offer a 10-year parts and labor warranty on Navien tankless installations.

Kylie Kurt

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

Kersten Scanlon

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.

Daniel Moise

I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.

Eric R

I know the owner and worked with him. He is dependable, has pride in his work and always willing to teach. You can trust Benjamin Franklin Plumbing To be on time, do what they say they are going to do and always produce high quality work. Please give them a try you won’t regret it 😊

Beck Hasti

We had an old, barely functioning kitchen faucet replaced. The plumber (Brandon) was very professional and left the area very clean and dry. He also noticed some quirks in the plumbing in our 85 year old house (which also explained a water pressure issue we’d been having), letting us know what could be done to address it (& how much it might cost), should we choose to do something about.

Tyler Wood

Love them! On time, thorough, and informative. I tend to ask a lot of questions and they were more than happy to educate me. I’ve known the owner for over 15 years. Great guy. Ask for John.

Christina Walker

Hi Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Team, Thank you for following up regarding my basement drain issue. When we spoke a few days ago, I decided not to move forward with your services due to my budget. However, I want to express how much I appreciate your team's patience, kindness, and professionalism. The fact that you reached out today just to make sure my issue was resolved—even after knowing I chose another option—really stands out. If I could leave a six-star review, I would! Thank you again for your exceptional customer service.

Saeed Jassani

Excellent service. Very timely and professional. Reasonable price

Margaret Langley

Ethan was excellent right from start to finish! He was punctual, analyzed the problem, wrote up an estimate of cost and time required and completed as quoted. He was extremely polite, communicated as project progressed as well upon completion. I would definitely request Ethan for future work and highly recommend him.

Paul Hession

Excellent job!!!

Frequently Asked Questions — Plumbing in Mountain Park, GA

My Mountain Park home was built as a cottage and converted to full-time use. What should I know about the plumbing?

Original cottage construction from the 1940s and 1950s in Mountain Park often used galvanized steel supply lines, which corrode from the inside out over decades and eventually produce restricted flow throughout the home and rusty-tinted water. Many of these homes have had partial repiping over the years, so the system may include a combination of galvanized, copper, and possibly polybutylene sections. The most important first step is a full pipe material assessment so you know exactly what you’re working with before any repair decisions are made. We can do this assessment as part of a service call and give you a clear picture of the system’s condition.

Do you handle older clay sewer lines in Mountain Park?

Yes. Older clay or Orangeburg sewer drain lines from mid-century construction are common in Mountain Park and are prone to root intrusion, joint separation, and in some cases complete collapse after decades of use. We use sewer camera inspection to see exactly what’s happening inside the line before recommending a repair approach. For sections with contained damage, trenchless pipe lining is often possible. For more extensive deterioration, open trench repair or replacement is the appropriate solution. We provide flat-rate pricing before any work begins.

When should I replace the water heater in my Mountain Park home?

For a Mountain Park home with a complex plumbing service history, the water heater installation date is not always clearly documented. If you’re unsure, check the serial number label on the unit — the manufacture date is encoded in it and a plumber can read it for you. If the unit is 10 or more years old, it is in the replacement window regardless of whether it’s currently performing normally. Signs that a water heater needs immediate attention are popping or rumbling during heating cycles, rust-tinged hot water, moisture or rust staining around the base, or noticeably reduced hot water volume. We service, repair, and replace all tank water heater brands and are a Navien NSS certified installer for tankless conversions. Flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
