The Summit at Piedmont is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, situated near the Piedmont Road corridor in the established suburban landscape of north Marietta. The community is part of the broader East Cobb and north Marietta residential fabric that developed predominantly during the 1980s and 1990s — the construction vintage that defines the most active plumbing service cycle in the Cobb County area. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves The Summit at Piedmont as part of our broader Marietta and East Cobb service territory.

Plumbing in The Summit at Piedmont Homes

Like most residential communities in east and north Marietta built during the 1980s and 1990s, homes in The Summit at Piedmont were constructed with copper supply lines on slab-on-grade foundations. These systems are now 30 to 40 years old and are in the window where age-related pitting corrosion in copper supply lines becomes a documented regional pattern across Cobb County. Pinhole leaks that appear in different locations over time, and the slab leaks that develop when this corrosion reaches supply lines embedded beneath the foundation, are the defining plumbing patterns for homes of this vintage throughout the area.

Water heaters in homes of this vintage have typically been replaced once or twice. Current units in many Summit at Piedmont homes are approaching the 10-to-12-year replacement window, making this a natural time to evaluate options — including whether a tankless conversion makes sense for the home's usage profile and gas infrastructure.

Kay Oren

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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Plumbing in The Summit at Piedmont, Marietta GA

What are the warning signs of a slab leak in a Summit at Piedmont home?

The most common early warning signs in 1980s and 1990s slab homes are: a water bill that has climbed gradually without any change in usage habits; warm or hot spots on tiled floors (from a leaking hot water line beneath the slab); the faint sound of running water when all fixtures and appliances are off; or a musty smell near a plumbing wall. Any one of these warrants a call for assessment. By the time visible water staining or floor damage appears, the leak has typically been running for some time and the remediation scope is larger than if it had been caught earlier.

Is my PRV something I should have checked?

Yes — pressure reducing valves are one of the most commonly overlooked maintenance items in Cobb County homes. The PRV regulates incoming street pressure down to a safe level for your home's plumbing and appliances. A failing PRV can allow pressure to climb above safe levels, which accelerates wear on every fixture, appliance, and supply line in the home. Signs of a failing PRV include water pressure that feels unusually high, fixtures that hammer when shut off, or toilet fill valves that run constantly. PRVs typically have a service life of 10 to 15 years — many homes in the Summit at Piedmont area have never had theirs replaced.

How long does a whole-home repipe take in a Marietta home?

For most Marietta homes in the Summit at Piedmont size range, a whole-home repipe is a one-to-two day project. The process involves accessing the copper supply lines through walls, ceilings, and 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. We handle the full permit process and provide flat-rate pricing in writing before starting. The water is off for the duration of the active work, but we manage the project to minimize the time without service. The result is a complete elimination of the recurring pinhole leak and slab leak cycle.
