Alpharetta Woods is a residential community in Alpharetta, North Fulton County — one of the many established neighborhoods that define the Alpharetta residential landscape along the GA-400 corridor. Like much of Alpharetta’s housing stock, homes in Alpharetta Woods were developed during the rapid suburban growth of the late 1980s and 1990s. This is the age range that defines the most active plumbing service cycle in North Fulton, as original copper plumbing systems approach or pass the 30-year mark and age-related pitting corrosion begins to produce the pinhole-leak failures that are well-documented throughout the region.
Homes built in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Alpharetta are almost universally slab-on-grade construction with original copper supply lines. Fulton County’s water is drawn from the Chattahoochee River and treated at the Tom Lowe Atlanta-Fulton County Water Treatment Plant in Johns Creek, using chlorine as the disinfectant. The pinhole leaks that are one of the most consistent service patterns throughout Alpharetta’s 1980s and 1990s neighborhoods are driven primarily by the age of the copper itself — decades of service producing localized pitting corrosion on the inside of the pipe wall.
The practical consequence for Alpharetta Woods homeowners is that a home of this vintage with original copper plumbing is in the window where the plumbing system warrants active monitoring rather than passive assumption that it will continue performing indefinitely. One pinhole leak repaired properly is a contained event. Two or three in different locations over a short period is a signal that corrosion is widespread and that continued spot repairs are an increasingly poor investment compared to a whole-home repipe.

I had a fantastic experience with the lead plumber Brandon White. I called Benjamin Franklin to get a second opinion on a quote from another company, and he went above and beyond. He sent Benjamin & he came over the same day, he reassured me that the work recommended by the competitor was indeed necessary, reasonably priced, and completely aligned with the standard of work his team would provide. I was impressed with his honesty, he also explained why the work was necessary in terms that were easy to understand. His professionalism, and integrity gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend Brandon White the lead plumber at Benjamin Franklin for anyone looking for a trustworthy professional!
Alan Montgomery
Did a great job for a fair price. Arrived on time. Did excellent, professional work, cleaned up afterwards and was courteous through the entire time. Met ALL my expectations.
Lee Wood
Scheduling service was easy and the discussion of the work I needed performed occurred at my house and options were discussed. Once we decided on the items to be replaced and the work to be performed, I received the cost estimate and we scheduled a date for the work. Davy showed up on-time to perform the work and was very thorough in getting the job finished. The work was accomplished in the time allotted and Davy provided a detailed review of the work. Highly recommend contacting Erin and his team at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to get top quality, reliable work at a fair price!

After investigating, multiple breaks were repaired after the water meters. Stayed until full repair was completed and disturbed area repaired. Great job. I will consider hiring Ben Franklin for any additional repairs needed.

Great experience with this new company. John, the owner, was extremely helpful in his initial visit. Follow up appointments were needed and Hugo was assigned as our technician. Hugo was kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything and completed everything well. Will definitely recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing to friends and family.

Great service, worked over allotted time and did not charge more than agreed. Good guys, very pleased and will use again!
A single pinhole leak in a home with otherwise sound plumbing is not automatically a sign of systemic problems. However, given the age of Alpharetta Woods homes and the well-documented pattern of pinhole leaks in aging North Fulton copper, it’s worth having the plumber assess the broader condition of your system at the time of repair rather than just fixing the immediate leak. If the pipe shows signs of widespread surface corrosion at the repair point, that’s meaningful information. If the system looks otherwise sound, you’re more likely dealing with an isolated failure. The key signal to watch for is a second leak in a different location — that pattern warrants a full system assessment.
A whole-home repipe replaces your existing copper supply lines with PEX tubing — a flexible, corrosion-resistant material that is not subject to the pitting corrosion that affects aging copper. The process involves accessing the supply lines through walls, ceilings, or under the slab where necessary, running new PEX lines, connecting them to all fixtures and appliances, and restoring all access points as part of the job. For most Alpharetta homes, a full repipe is a one-to-two day project. We provide flat-rate pricing in writing before starting and carry all required permits. The result is a complete elimination of the recurring pinhole leak cycle.
Yes. For Alpharetta Woods homeowners interested in improving water quality, the most relevant treatments are whole-home carbon filtration — which reduces chlorination byproducts (TTHMs and HAA5s) that Fulton County’s 2024 water quality report shows at the higher end of the compliance range — and a point-of-use RO system for drinking and cooking water. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full installation and ongoing service for both types of systems.
