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.

Plumbing in The Summit at Piedmont Homes

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions — Plumbing in The Summit at Piedmont, Marietta GA

What are the warning signs of a slab leak in a Summit at Piedmont home?

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.

Is my PRV something I should have checked?

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.

How long does a whole-home repipe take in a Marietta home?

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.
