Named Forbes' Top Ranked Plumbing Company of 2024!
Windrush is an established residential community in Marietta, situated in the East Cobb area of Cobb County. The community is part of the network of well-regarded swim-tennis neighborhoods that characterize East Cobb's residential landscape — established subdivisions with strong HOA amenities, mature tree cover, and housing stock from the 1980s and early 1990s that now spans the 30-to-40-year mark. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves Windrush and the surrounding East Cobb communities as part of our core service territory.
East Cobb subdivisions built in the 1980s — including Windrush — were constructed during a period when copper supply lines and slab-on-grade foundations were the universal standard in this region. Those systems are now 35 to 45 years old, in the age range where localized pitting corrosion on the interior of copper supply lines becomes a documented regional pattern across Cobb County. Pipe walls thin at their most vulnerable points over decades until pinhole leaks develop.
The pattern we see in East Cobb 1980s homes is consistent: pinhole leaks begin appearing in different locations over a period of months or years, rather than repeatedly at the same point. This is the defining signal of system-wide deterioration rather than isolated failure. Each repair addresses the current leak but not the underlying age of the pipe, which continues producing new failure points until the pipe system is replaced.
Windrush's wooded setting with mature hardwoods also means tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a service consideration for homes on larger wooded lots. Annual sewer camera inspection is a reasonable precaution for properties with significant tree canopy over the drain line route.

Found Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Intown Atlanta through our Decatur neighborhood group after some questionable work from another plumber. They are trustworthy and no hassle at all. Exactly what this town needs. You won’t regret calling these guys—they’re awesome!
Andrew Anselmo
Tech were prompt and had the repair done in no time. Very professional and thorough. Explained every option and listened to my questions and concerns. Highly recommend
Cheri Carver
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.

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!
Two pinhole leaks in different locations in an East Cobb home from the 1980s is the pattern most consistent with age-related deterioration across the copper supply system. When corrosion is localized, leaks tend to recur at or near the same spot. When they appear in different locations, the degradation is widespread across the pipe system rather than concentrated in one area. A whole-home plumbing assessment can confirm the extent of the corrosion. If it is system-wide — which is the most likely finding in an East Cobb 1980s home with this pattern — a repipe with PEX is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We provide flat-rate pricing in writing before any work begins.
Cobb County's water is soft, so a softener isn't a default recommendation here, though we do install softeners for homeowners who prefer the feel of softened water. The treatments most directly relevant to East Cobb are whole-home catalytic carbon filtration — which removes chlorine, improves taste and odor at every tap, and is gentler on skin and on the rubber seals and gaskets in your fixtures — and point-of-use reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink for drinking water and the trace PFAS compounds detected in the local supply. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full assessment, installation, and ongoing service.
Call (770) 999-9871 or book online at any time. For non-emergency scheduling, we typically have same-week availability from our Marietta location. We provide flat-rate pricing before starting any work, and all jobs are backed by a full warranty. There are no hidden charges and no hourly billing surprises.
