Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Westoak 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 Westoak 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 Westoak 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 Westoak 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.

Family of 5 with three daughters, so our water gets a serious workout 😂. We had Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta come out to look at our home and help us understand where we could make things more efficient. They gave us some really useful advice, especially around improving our water quality and a few things we’d never even thought about. Friendly, knowledgeable and zero pressure. Really glad we found these guys. We’ll definitely be using them when we’re ready to make some upgrades!
Robert Friedman
We had an amazing experience with Benjamin Franklin Plumbing! We had a bit of an emergency (I'll spare details, was gross) and needed someone out quick to resolve. They came same day and were able to determine pipework hadn't been connected properly during recent work we had done. I'm really glad we found them! Local team, quick to respond, and took great care in our home. Would definitely recommend them!

Keith came promptly, worked quickly but we paid $709 for a water shutoff, and a small piece of PVC pipe under our sink that took 40 minutes to do. $210 of that was because it was an emergency visit.
Kelly Harter
Tyler was helpful, courteous, and efficient. He explained the process in terms we could easily understand and worked with us to find the most convenient time to return to complete the job. We would definitely feel comfortable having him work for us again.

Chase was exceptional!! Jared was so helpful as well!! This company came out to check our heating and cooling systems, clean our hot water heater, and patiently answered a bunch of our plumbing and duct-cleaning questions. As owners of an aging home, we truly trust them and deeply value their expert opinions on what updates we need. The level of professionalism cannot be surpassed! From wearing booties so they don’t drag dirt into the house to sending texts with pictures of the technicians before they arrive, every detail made us feel safe and cared for. We trust them completely with our home, will definitely continue doing business with them, and are already recommending them to all our friends. They are simply the best in the area!
Cynthia V. Bell
The service was timely and professional. I really appreciate that Chuck treated my home with respect. He not only wiped his feet, but he put on booties to protect my floors. He did a thorough inspection before he gave me the estimate for the service needed. Because of his courteous explanation of what was needed to get the job done correctly, I would highly recommend him.

Needed emergency drain unclog- they were so professional when I called! Got someone here in less than an hour! And no crazy “emergency” charge! The plumber was a great guy! Again, professional and courteous! Brynt was very knowledgeable and efficient- fixed us right up! Company vehicle nice and clean, uniforms nice- hope we never need again- who wants plumbing issues?-but if we do, you can bet we will call them again for sure!!!
Brian Doherty
Jason Eckert diagnosed my plumbing leak issue quickly and explained the fix needed, provided an estimate, and quickly completed the job. Good communication, and all around pleasant to deal with. Thanks!

Angel C was in fact a literal angel. He was extremely kind and professional. Up front about costs and quotes. This was my first time having to hire someone for an home repair and was very nervous about the process but he was amazing. I will definitely be a returning customer ( if I have to be ) and will be requesting Angel! Seriously cannot thank him enough!
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.
