Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
West Oak is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, representing the established neighborhoods of the west and northwest Marietta corridor. This area reflects the characteristic development pattern of Marietta's residential growth — primarily single-family homes built during the 1970s through the 1990s on slab foundations with copper supply lines. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves West Oak as part of our comprehensive Marietta service territory, bringing the same licensed, background-checked technicians and flat-rate pricing approach that serves all of Cobb County.
Homes in the West Oak area range from 1970s ranch-style construction to 1980s and 1990s traditional subdivisions. The earlier homes from the 1970s are now approaching 50 years old — well past the expected service life of original copper supply lines. The 1980s and 1990s homes are in the 30-to-40-year range where age-related pitting corrosion produces the most active service demand throughout Cobb County.
Slab-on-grade construction across both eras means supply line failures beneath the foundation require non-invasive detection before any concrete work. Water heaters in homes of this age range have often been replaced once and are approaching replacement again — and in many cases homeowners are making the switch from traditional tank units to tankless systems when the replacement window arrives.
Drain cleaning is a frequent service in the West Oak corridor. Older homes with cast iron or galvanized drain lines accumulate scale, grease, and root intrusion over decades in ways that standard DIY clearing cannot address. Hydrojetting and sewer camera inspection are the appropriate tools for homes where recurring drain issues persist despite conventional treatment. Camera inspection also identifies structural issues — offset joints, root intrusion, or collapsed sections — that are causing drain problems and that require repair rather than repeated clearing.

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.
Hydrojetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water — typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — to scour the interior walls of a drain line clean. Unlike mechanical clearing with a snake, which pushes blockages through or breaks them up, hydrojetting removes grease, scale, and debris from the pipe walls themselves. It is the most thorough drain cleaning method available and is appropriate for recurring blockages that keep coming back despite repeated clearing, slow drains throughout the home that suggest buildup in the main line, and older cast iron lines with significant internal scale accumulation. We combine hydrojetting with camera inspection when the cause of the blockage is unclear, to confirm both the cleaning result and the structural condition of the line.
A 12-year-old water heater is past the standard 10-to-12-year expected service life. If it is still performing normally with no popping or rumbling sounds, no rust at the base, and no reduction in hot water output, it may have more life in it. But “still working” and “sound investment to keep running” are different questions. A unit at 12 years is statistically in the failure window, and an unexpected failure means making a rushed replacement decision. A professional assessment will tell you the actual condition of the unit — anode rod depletion, sediment level, and element condition — and give you real information to decide whether to service and extend, or replace proactively on your schedule.
Yes. A pre-purchase plumbing assessment is a valuable investment for any Marietta home from the 1970s through the 1990s. We can inspect visible supply lines for corrosion, camera-inspect the main sewer drain line, assess the water heater condition and age, and test the water pressure to check PRV function. The service line from the street to the home is also worth assessing in homes of this age. We provide a clear report of findings with flat-rate pricing for any recommended work. Call (770) 999-9871 to schedule.
