Smyrna's Trusted Plumbing Team — From Village Green to The Battery

Smyrna has transformed dramatically over the past two decades. What was once a largely blue-collar suburb along the South Cobb Drive corridor has evolved into one of metro Atlanta's most sought-after communities, with revitalized neighborhoods near Village Green, the long-established homes of Belmont Hills and King Springs, and the energy of The Battery Atlanta drawing residents who want walkable access to restaurants, entertainment, and Truist Park right in their backyard.

That transformation has layered new development on top of older housing stock, creating a distinctive plumbing landscape: original homes from the 1970s and 1980s sitting alongside renovated properties and newer townhome communities throughout the 30080 and 30082 zip codes. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves all of Smyrna, bringing the same licensed, on-time, flat-rate service to every neighborhood.

Plumbing Challenges Specific to Smyrna, GA

Polybutylene Pipes in 1980s Smyrna Homes

Smyrna was one of the fastest-growing Cobb County communities during the 1980s, and a significant portion of that decade's construction used polybutylene piping. Neighborhoods throughout Smyrna built between 1978 and 1995 — including established areas off South Cobb Drive, the King Springs corridor, and communities near Jonquil Park — have a high concentration of homes where original polybutylene supply lines are still in place. We regularly replace polybutylene with modern PEX tubing in Smyrna homes, and the process is less disruptive than most homeowners expect. Most full repiping projects are completed within a day or two.

Slab Leaks from Aging Copper & Clay Soil

Smyrna sits in the same red clay geological zone as the rest of Cobb County, and its older homes on slab foundations face the same risk: seasonal soil movement stressing aging copper supply lines embedded in the concrete. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s with original copper plumbing are entering the age range where pinhole leaks and slab failures are common, particularly given the documented issues with the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority's water chemistry and copper pipe interaction. If you have had any pinhole leaks in the past few years and your home is in this age range, a slab leak assessment is worth scheduling.

Drainage Issues Near The Battery & Newer Developments

The rapid development around The Battery and along the Cumberland-Smyrna border has brought newer infrastructure alongside older, which creates its own set of drainage challenges. Connections between old and new sewer systems, grading issues from new construction, and high-volume drain demand in the restaurant and entertainment venues near Truist Park all contribute to drain and sewer calls in this part of Smyrna. For homeowners in newer townhome and condo developments near The Battery, improperly graded drain lines from the original construction are a common source of recurring slow drains that store-bought cleaners cannot fix.

Water Heater Replacements in an Aging Housing Stock

Smyrna's 1980s housing stock means a high volume of water heaters are reaching or past their expected service life. With Cobb County's moderately hard water accelerating sediment buildup, we regularly see water heaters in this age band running inefficiently and failing earlier than their rated lifespan. If your unit is making noise, producing inconsistent hot water, or showing corrosion, we can assess it same-day and typically complete a replacement in the same visit if needed.

Christine

The company saw that we needed fast service and they sent out two technicians as soon as they could. David and Luke are the best. They explained everything clearly and politely. They worked quickly and neatly and installed our new garbage disposal with great efficiency. They also interacted with us with respect. David and Luke are two fine young men. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing should be commended for hiring such capable technicians. We shall use this company for all of our plumbing needs in the future. A++

Gabriel Scindian

These guys came out did an amazing job. They started with the diagnostic found what the issue was, got the parts ordered, which were surprisingly under warranty.very knowledgeable about tankless water heaters which is apparently rare. Many other shops tried to get me to install a completely new tankless water heater from a different brand at a price over $8000, stating the one that I have is useless for the house that I am in. The brand that I’m using was installed by the home builder.

James Clark

I will continue to use Benjamin Franklin again and always request Tony. 10/10 experience, and very affordable straight up pricing. I needed a win today, thanks again Tony!!!

Plumbing FAQs

How do I find out if my Smyrna home has polybutylene pipes?

The quickest way is to check the visible pipes near your water heater, under kitchen and bathroom sinks, and in any unfinished basement, attic, or crawl space. Polybutylene is a flexible gray plastic pipe — sometimes white or black — with 'PB' followed by numbers stamped on it. It has a diameter of roughly a half inch to an inch. If you find it, or if your home was built between 1978 and 1995 and you are not sure what is in your walls, call us for an inspection. Polybutylene fails from the inside out, meaning the exterior can look intact while the interior is already degraded. Many Smyrna homeowners in this age range discover they have PB pipes during a home sale inspection or after an unexpected leak — proactive replacement avoids that unpleasant surprise.

Is the plumbing near The Battery and newer Smyrna developments different from older homes?

Yes — in a few notable ways. Newer construction near The Battery and in Smyrna's revitalized areas tends to use PEX or CPVC supply lines rather than polybutylene or galvanized steel, so the aging pipe replacement concern is less common. Instead, we see more issues related to construction quality: improperly graded drain lines that cause recurring slow drains, undersized water heaters in townhomes with high demand, and pressure regulation issues in newer high-density developments. Older homes in Smyrna that have been renovated cosmetically but not replumbed sometimes have a mix of pipe materials that creates its own diagnostic challenges. We approach each property based on its actual condition rather than assumptions about age.

Do you handle plumbing emergencies in Smyrna on weekends?

Yes — we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Smyrna is close to our Marietta base, which means fast response times. Whether you have a burst pipe, a sewage backup, a failed water heater, or any other urgent plumbing situation, call us at (770) 999-9871. Our trucks are fully stocked so most emergency repairs are completed in a single visit.
