Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
The Summit at Piedmont is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, situated near the Piedmont Road corridor in the established suburban landscape of north Marietta. The community is part of the broader East Cobb and north Marietta residential fabric that developed predominantly during the 1980s and 1990s — the construction vintage that defines the most active plumbing service cycle in the Cobb County area. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves The Summit at Piedmont as part of our broader Marietta and East Cobb service territory.
Like most residential communities in east and north Marietta built during the 1980s and 1990s, homes in The Summit at Piedmont were constructed with copper supply lines on slab-on-grade foundations. These systems are now 30 to 40 years old and are in the window where age-related pitting corrosion in copper supply lines becomes a documented regional pattern across Cobb County. Pinhole leaks that appear in different locations over time, and the slab leaks that develop when this corrosion reaches supply lines embedded beneath the foundation, are the defining plumbing patterns for homes of this vintage throughout the area.
Water heaters in homes of this vintage have typically been replaced once or twice. Current units in many Summit at Piedmont homes are approaching the 10-to-12-year replacement window, making this a natural time to evaluate options — including whether a tankless conversion makes sense for the home's usage profile and gas infrastructure.
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves The Summit at Piedmont and surrounding communities throughout Marietta, East Cobb, and Cobb County. Available 24/7 — call (770) 999-9871 or book online.

We had Christian from Benjamin Franklin Plumbing service come out to fix a leak in our home. He was patient, explained the procedure thoroughly, on time, and cleaned up the mess. We were pleased with his work.

Love the updates! Everything works perfectly!. The family is so thankful for the new complete water pipes lines, the new waterless tank, the toilet tank repair and most of all the new tub and tiles! The sink doesn’t backup anymore and the water taste so so much better! The metal taste is gone! The toilets don’t flush themselves anymore and the rattling of the pipes doesn’t exist anymore! Their master plumber is awesome; he’s worth every penny spent and more! Gerald, Ryan and team did beyond our family expectations! 5 stars

José was very knowledgeable. He verified that the low flow problem with my old faucet was due to the faucet and not in the house plumbing before installing the new faucet that we had bought a couple of days earlier. My wife and I preferred the design of the new faucet, and José eliminated our worry that the new faucet might not fix the low flow problem. The new faucet is leak free and works great.

Christian our house to diagnose an issue. The water department called and said we were losing 1 gallon per minute of water, continuous use. Christian Came twice with one service charge. He discovered That we had two toilets that were each causing continuous usage. Together, the two toilets were equaling A loss of 1 gallon a minute! For a fair price He fixed both toilets And eliminated the issue. He was polite, caring, honest and prompt!

Johnathan has been outstanding so far as still have final phase to go. He grasped concept of what we wanted and helped bring it into reality. Johnathan has communicated well and made sure we understood each step as work has progressed. Also kudos to Zach and Tony for their hard work in getting it done! In a follow up review Johnathan met to check on work done so we could move on to Step 2. Details were discussed, and we are moving to the next phase. Thanks to Johnathan for continuing to work with us and guide our project successfully. Very satisfied to date.

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Savannah Metro recently completed the plumbing work for our bathroom remodel, and we were very pleased with the results. They re-piped the bathroom efficiently, kept us informed throughout the process, and delivered quality workmanship. The team was professional, respectful of our home, and made the entire process stress-free. We would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable plumbing services.
The most common early warning signs in 1980s and 1990s slab homes are: a water bill that has climbed gradually without any change in usage habits; warm or hot spots on tiled floors (from a leaking hot water line beneath the slab); the faint sound of running water when all fixtures and appliances are off; or a musty smell near a plumbing wall. Any one of these warrants a call for assessment. By the time visible water staining or floor damage appears, the leak has typically been running for some time and the remediation scope is larger than if it had been caught earlier.
Yes — pressure reducing valves are one of the most commonly overlooked maintenance items in Cobb County homes. The PRV regulates incoming street pressure down to a safe level for your home's plumbing and appliances. A failing PRV can allow pressure to climb above safe levels, which accelerates wear on every fixture, appliance, and supply line in the home. Signs of a failing PRV include water pressure that feels unusually high, fixtures that hammer when shut off, or toilet fill valves that run constantly. PRVs typically have a service life of 10 to 15 years — many homes in the Summit at Piedmont area have never had theirs replaced.
For most Marietta homes in the Summit at Piedmont size range, a whole-home repipe is a one-to-two day project. The process involves accessing the copper supply lines through walls, ceilings, and under the slab where necessary, running new PEX lines, connecting them to all fixtures and appliances, and restoring all access points as part of the job. We handle the full permit process and provide flat-rate pricing in writing before starting. The water is off for the duration of the active work, but we manage the project to minimize the time without service. The result is a complete elimination of the recurring pinhole leak and slab leak cycle.
