Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Sandy Plains Road is one of the defining north-south corridors of East Cobb — running from the heart of Marietta northward through the 30066 zip code into the established residential neighborhoods of northeast Cobb County. The Sandy Plains corridor encompasses a broad swath of East Cobb's most actively developed residential neighborhoods from the 1970s through the early 2000s, including communities near Sandy Plains Elementary, Sandy Plains Park, and the retail and commercial nodes that serve this area. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves the entire Sandy Plains corridor as part of our East Cobb and Marietta service territory.
The Sandy Plains corridor's housing stock spans three main construction eras. The earliest homes from the late 1970s are now 45 to 50 years old, well into the territory where original copper supply lines have aged five decades. The 1980s and early 1990s homes — the dominant vintage along this corridor — are in the 30-to-40-year window where age-related pitting corrosion in copper supply lines is most actively producing pinhole leaks and slab failures. Homes from the late 1990s and early 2000s are beginning their first significant service cycle.
The characteristic pattern for homes in the core of this construction period — slab foundations with original copper supply lines in the 30-to-45-year range — is the same throughout East Cobb: recurring pinhole leaks in different locations, gradual water bill increases from slow slab leaks, and the sound of water running with everything shut off. These are the calls we receive most consistently from the Sandy Plains corridor.
Water heaters throughout the Sandy Plains corridor range from original units approaching failure to recent replacements. For homes where the current unit is 8 or more years old, annual flushing and anode rod inspection are the appropriate maintenance steps. Sediment that accumulates inside any tank water heater produces the popping and rumbling sounds during heating cycles, shortens service life, and reduces efficiency — annual maintenance addresses all three. For homes evaluating replacement, we are one of the only plumbers in the area offering a 10-year parts and labor warranty on Navien tankless installations.

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

Cobb slab homes. A slow leak in a supply line beneath the foundation runs continuously — and over a month, even a small but constant flow adds up to a measurable bill increase. Other early signs to watch for are warm spots on tiled floors, the faint sound of running water when everything is shut off, or a musty smell near a plumbing wall. If your bill is up and you cannot explain it from usage changes, call for a plumbing assessment before waiting for the next billing cycle.
The key distinction is whether the deterioration is localized or system-wide. A single pinhole leak in a home that has otherwise been trouble-free is a reasonable candidate for a targeted repair. If the same home then develops another pinhole in a different location six months later, that pattern indicates the pipe walls are deteriorating throughout the system rather than failing at one weak point. A professional assessment after a second leak confirms the extent. In East Cobb 1980s homes, system-wide deterioration is the more common finding once leaks become recurrent, and a whole-home repipe with PEX is the more cost-effective long-term decision.
