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.

I wanted to share my appreciation for the excellent service Brandon and his team provided. Brandon arrived on time, responded quickly, and handled the work with professionalism, friendliness, and care. What stood out most was the speed and convenience of the service. Brandon assessed the leakage damage, cleaned the spout, scraped away the old caulk, reinstalled the area, and sealed it properly for waterproofing. Please extend my thanks to Brandon and his team for their reliable work and excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend their service and will call again for future needs.

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.

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!

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.
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.
