Ashebrook is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, part of the established suburban neighborhoods that characterize east and north Marietta. The community is situated within the heart of East Cobb and reflects the residential development that shaped this area during the 1980s and 1990s. Homes in Ashebrook are primarily single-family residences set in the wooded, amenity-rich setting that defines East Cobb's residential character. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves Ashebrook as part of our East Cobb and Marietta service territory.
East Cobb homes from the 1980s and 1990s share a consistent plumbing profile: slab-on-grade foundations with copper supply lines that are now 30 to 40 years old. This age range is where pinhole leaks in copper supply lines become a documented regional pattern across Cobb County, with the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority having commissioned a 2018 forensic analysis by Virginia Tech researchers to study the problem. The research pointed to pipe age and several contributing factors rather than a single cause. Pinhole leaks in different locations over time, slab leaks in supply lines beneath the foundation, and gradual water bill increases before any visible sign of a problem are the consistent patterns we see throughout East Cobb homes of this vintage.
The wooded character of East Cobb neighborhoods like Ashebrook also means tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a recurring service issue. Mature hardwoods that were planted or established when these homes were built have had 30 to 40 years to extend root systems toward buried drain lines. Sewer camera inspection is the appropriate first diagnostic step for any slow drain or backup that doesn't resolve with standard clearing.

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.
Lynne Jones

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!
Yes — pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing are a documented regional pattern across Cobb County, common enough that the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority commissioned engineering studies of the problem, including a 2018 forensic analysis by Virginia Tech researchers. The research pointed to a combination of contributing factors rather than a single cause: pipe age reaching the end of its service life, localized pitting corrosion on the inside of the pipe wall, original installation factors, and in some cases in-home conditions such as low-use, stagnant lines. With so much of Cobb County's 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s copper plumbing reaching the same age at the same time, pinhole leaks are a familiar pattern for plumbers across the area — including in Ashebrook homes of this vintage.
Slab leak detection — the diagnostic phase using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment to locate the leak point before any concrete is opened — is a professional service we perform as part of the slab leak service call. We provide flat-rate pricing for the full repair scope, including the concrete patch, before any work begins. The most important thing to understand about cost is that early detection dramatically limits total expense. A slab leak caught at the warm-floor or elevated-bill stage costs far less to address than one that has been running long enough to require foundation stabilization or mold remediation in addition to the plumbing repair.
Yes. CCMWA's water is soft, drawn from Lake Allatoona and the Chattahoochee, so hard-water scale isn't a primary concern here. The treatments most relevant to East Cobb homes are whole-home catalytic carbon filtration — which removes chlorine and improves taste and odor at every tap, and is gentler on skin and rubber seals than untreated chlorinated water — and a point-of-use reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink for drinking water and the trace PFAS compounds detected in the local supply. We also install whole-home softeners for homeowners who prefer the feel of softened water. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full installation and ongoing service.
