Chattahoochee Plantation is a distinctive unincorporated community in Cobb County with a fascinating history. Originally incorporated as a city in 1961 in anticipation of a luxury residential development centered on a golf club, Chattahoochee Plantation was briefly used in 1968 to extend Cobb County's boundaries across the entire county as a legal mechanism to prevent Atlanta from expanding into Cobb. The city was dissolved in 1995. Today the Chattahoochee Plantation area encompasses gated communities, riverfront properties along Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee River, and upscale residential enclaves that include the Atlanta Country Club. It sits in the east Cobb riverside corridor near Vinings.
The Chattahoochee Plantation area includes some of Cobb County's most distinctive and varied residential properties — from mid-century ranch-style homes near the river corridors to newer custom construction on wooded lots. The older properties in this area date to the 1960s and 1970s, placing their original plumbing in the 50-to-60-year range. At that age, original copper supply lines — where they have not already been partially replaced — are well past their expected service life, and pinhole leaks in older copper plumbing are a documented regional pattern throughout Cobb County.
Proximity to the Chattahoochee River and Sope Creek means the Chattahoochee Plantation area has some of the most significant mature tree cover in Cobb County. Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a consistent and well-documented service issue in this corridor. Sewer camera inspection is the appropriate first diagnostic step for any slow drain or sewer backup in a home of this age and setting.
For newer custom homes and estates in the Chattahoochee Plantation area, water heater service and tankless system maintenance are the primary ongoing plumbing considerations. The elevated lot values and landscaping in this area also make directional boring the preferred approach for water service line replacement, minimizing disruption to established grounds.

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!

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.

The easiest way to get a reliable picture of your pipe material is a professional plumbing assessment. A licensed plumber can identify pipe materials at visible access points — under sinks, near the water heater, at the meter, and at any exposed sections in utility areas — and give you a clear report on what you're working with. For homes in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor from the 1960s and 1970s, the most likely materials are copper supply lines, cast iron drain lines, and in some cases galvanized steel in sections that were not updated. Each of these has a different service profile and knowing what you have is the foundation for making informed decisions about repair vs. replacement.
Tree roots grow toward moisture and the nutrients in a functioning sewer line. They enter through joints, cracks, or small gaps in older clay or cast iron lines, then expand inside the pipe as they follow the water flow. The mature tree cover along the Chattahoochee and Sope Creek corridors means root systems from established hardwoods have had decades to extend toward buried drain lines. Sewer camera inspection is the only accurate way to assess root intrusion — it shows exactly where the roots are and how extensive the infiltration is. For contained intrusion, trenchless cured-in-place pipe lining avoids excavation. For more extensive damage, traditional repair or section replacement is the appropriate solution.
Yes. Directional boring is our preferred approach for water service line replacement on properties in the Chattahoochee Plantation corridor where established landscaping, long driveways, or mature grounds make open trenching unnecessarily disruptive. Directional boring installs the new line underground without excavating the surface — preserving lawns, gardens, and hardscaping. We assess whether directional boring is feasible for your specific site conditions during the diagnostic visit and provide flat-rate pricing for the full scope before any work begins.
