Crabapple is one of North Fulton’s most recognized and beloved historic communities. The original Crabapple crossroads — anchored by the historic brick building at the intersection of Crabapple Road, Mayfield Road, and Birmingham Road — now sits at the heart of the City of Milton, which incorporated the area in 2006. Today the Crabapple community spans portions of Milton, Roswell, and Alpharetta, and has grown into a vibrant mixed-use district featuring Milton City Hall, boutique retail, restaurants, and a growing Market District. The surrounding residential neighborhoods range from historic properties on large lots to newer townhomes and single-family homes built in recent years.
Crabapple’s housing stock spans a wide age range, and that range drives different plumbing considerations. The area’s older properties — homes built in the 1970s through 1990s along Crabapple Road, Mayfield Road, and Birmingham Highway — are in the age bracket where original copper supply lines show meaningful age-related wear. Pinhole leaks from localized pitting corrosion are a well-documented pattern in homes of this vintage throughout the area. For properties with slab foundations, locating these leaks before any concrete work begins requires thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment.
The newer construction in the Crabapple Market District and surrounding townhome communities is generally on mixed-use or smaller-lot development footprints. These homes tend to have more recent plumbing installations, but the high density of the newer development means any plumbing failure can affect multiple units or adjacent properties quickly. Prompt response matters.
Crabapple’s established mature tree canopy — one of the community’s defining aesthetic features — also means tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a common service issue for older properties on larger lots.

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.

Yes. The Crabapple community spans portions of Milton, Alpharetta, and Roswell, and we serve homeowners throughout all three. Our service area covers all of North Fulton County, so your exact city boundary doesn’t affect our ability to respond. Call (678) 833-2754 and we’ll dispatch to your address regardless of which city it falls in.
Homes built in the 1970s through 1990s in the Crabapple area have original copper supply lines that are now 30 to 50 years old. At that pipe age, these systems are in the window where localized pitting corrosion produces recurring pinhole leaks. Slab leaks are also a consistent finding in slab-on-grade homes of this vintage. Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is another common issue given the mature tree cover throughout Crabapple’s established neighborhoods. An annual plumbing assessment is a reasonable precaution for homes in this age range.
Yes. We service all residential plumbing regardless of home type, including the newer townhomes and condominiums in and around the Crabapple Market District. Newer construction is not immune to plumbing issues — supply line failures, water heater problems, and drain blockages occur in new homes too. We provide flat-rate pricing on all work before we start, and every repair carries a full warranty.
