Westoak is a residential community in Marietta, Cobb County, representing the established neighborhoods of the west and northwest Marietta corridor. This area reflects the characteristic development pattern of Marietta's residential growth — primarily single-family homes built during the 1970s through the 1990s on slab foundations with copper supply lines. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves Westoak as part of our comprehensive Marietta service territory, bringing the same licensed, background-checked technicians and flat-rate pricing approach that serves all of Cobb County.
Homes in the Westoak area range from 1970s ranch-style construction to 1980s and 1990s traditional subdivisions. The earlier homes from the 1970s are now approaching 50 years old — well past the expected service life of original copper supply lines. The 1980s and 1990s homes are in the 30-to-40-year range where age-related pitting corrosion produces the most active service demand throughout Cobb County.
Slab-on-grade construction across both eras means supply line failures beneath the foundation require non-invasive detection before any concrete work. Water heaters in homes of this age range have often been replaced once and are approaching replacement again — and in many cases homeowners are making the switch from traditional tank units to tankless systems when the replacement window arrives.
Drain cleaning is a frequent service in the Westoak corridor. Older homes with cast iron or galvanized drain lines accumulate scale, grease, and root intrusion over decades in ways that standard DIY clearing cannot address. Hydrojetting and sewer camera inspection are the appropriate tools for homes where recurring drain issues persist despite conventional treatment. Camera inspection also identifies structural issues — offset joints, root intrusion, or collapsed sections — that are causing drain problems and that require repair rather than repeated 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.
Thomas Miller
Great service, worked over allotted time and did not charge more than agreed. Good guys, very pleased and will use again!
Hydrojetting is a drain cleaning method that uses high-pressure water — typically 3,000 to 4,000 PSI — to scour the interior walls of a drain line clean. Unlike mechanical clearing with a snake, which pushes blockages through or breaks them up, hydrojetting removes grease, scale, and debris from the pipe walls themselves. It is the most thorough drain cleaning method available and is appropriate for recurring blockages that keep coming back despite repeated clearing, slow drains throughout the home that suggest buildup in the main line, and older cast iron lines with significant internal scale accumulation. We combine hydrojetting with camera inspection when the cause of the blockage is unclear, to confirm both the cleaning result and the structural condition of the line.
A 12-year-old water heater is past the standard 10-to-12-year expected service life. If it is still performing normally with no popping or rumbling sounds, no rust at the base, and no reduction in hot water output, it may have more life in it. But “still working” and “sound investment to keep running” are different questions. A unit at 12 years is statistically in the failure window, and an unexpected failure means making a rushed replacement decision. A professional assessment will tell you the actual condition of the unit — anode rod depletion, sediment level, and element condition — and give you real information to decide whether to service and extend, or replace proactively on your schedule.
Yes. A pre-purchase plumbing assessment is a valuable investment for any Marietta home from the 1970s through the 1990s. We can inspect visible supply lines for corrosion, camera-inspect the main sewer drain line, assess the water heater condition and age, and test the water pressure to check PRV function. The service line from the street to the home is also worth assessing in homes of this age. We provide a clear report of findings with flat-rate pricing for any recommended work. Call (770) 999-9871 to schedule.
