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.

I needed my 12-year-old water heater replaced soon and requested seven estimates. Two gave a verbal quote over the phone without seeing the job. I was not sure what I was getting or if they would add additional charges after they got the job. One was going to bring a water heater with them to replace it during the estimate process. One gave written quote that stated a price and description of “replace 50 gal water heater”. There were no details on the work to be completed. Benjiman Franklin Plumping’s estimate was the most complete on the work to be performed. Davy noticed issues with the current installation that was not to code that others missed. He spent the time explaining and answering my questions so I could understand what and why items were being done. Davy was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Although they were not the cheapest or the most expensive, they included everything to replace the water heater and bring in up to code within the estimate, with this I gave them the job. The installation was scheduled for the next day, Davy and Wilson arrived on time. The two worked well as a team completing the job beyond my expectations and to my satisfaction. The finished job looked so much better than the original installation. I am sure they are proud to be associated with their work. They cleaned up as they went so no mess was left behind. Job well done. Thanks Davy and Wilson

Brandon helped bring the pressure of our water down because it was way too high and added a filter to our ice maker so we don’t have so many calcifications in our ice! Brandon did a good job and was very nice. He cleaned up after himself and was always friendly. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had!

I have known the owner John for 15 years. He is very knowledgable about plumbing and can explain plumbing systems so well. He has given me great ideas and options when I am working on my house and I value his opinions and advice. Recently, I had a plumbing issue under the house and John took care of it. I am very happy with his work.

I’m gald to say that Benjamin Franklin in Palm Desert helped me install my water heater that failed. Luis and Hugo were very professional and kept the work area cleaned at all times even during the installation process. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Coachella valley.

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.
