Windrush is an established residential community in Marietta, situated in the East Cobb area of Cobb County. The community is part of the network of well-regarded swim-tennis neighborhoods that characterize East Cobb's residential landscape — established subdivisions with strong HOA amenities, mature tree cover, and housing stock from the 1980s and early 1990s that now spans the 30-to-40-year mark. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Marietta serves Windrush and the surrounding East Cobb communities as part of our core service territory.
East Cobb subdivisions built in the 1980s — including Windrush — were constructed during a period when copper supply lines and slab-on-grade foundations were the universal standard in this region. Those systems are now 35 to 45 years old, in the age range where localized pitting corrosion on the interior of copper supply lines becomes a documented regional pattern across Cobb County. Pipe walls thin at their most vulnerable points over decades until pinhole leaks develop.
The pattern we see in East Cobb 1980s homes is consistent: pinhole leaks begin appearing in different locations over a period of months or years, rather than repeatedly at the same point. This is the defining signal of system-wide deterioration rather than isolated failure. Each repair addresses the current leak but not the underlying age of the pipe, which continues producing new failure points until the pipe system is replaced.
Windrush's wooded setting with mature hardwoods also means tree root intrusion into sewer lines is a service consideration for homes on larger wooded lots. Annual sewer camera inspection is a reasonable precaution for properties with significant tree canopy over the drain line route.

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.
Thomas Miller
Great service, worked over allotted time and did not charge more than agreed. Good guys, very pleased and will use again!
Two pinhole leaks in different locations in an East Cobb home from the 1980s is the pattern most consistent with age-related deterioration across the copper supply system. When corrosion is localized, leaks tend to recur at or near the same spot. When they appear in different locations, the degradation is widespread across the pipe system rather than concentrated in one area. A whole-home plumbing assessment can confirm the extent of the corrosion. If it is system-wide — which is the most likely finding in an East Cobb 1980s home with this pattern — a repipe with PEX is the most cost-effective long-term solution. We provide flat-rate pricing in writing before any work begins.
Cobb County's water is soft, so a softener isn't a default recommendation here, though we do install softeners for homeowners who prefer the feel of softened water. The treatments most directly relevant to East Cobb are whole-home catalytic carbon filtration — which removes chlorine, improves taste and odor at every tap, and is gentler on skin and on the rubber seals and gaskets in your fixtures — and point-of-use reverse osmosis under the kitchen sink for drinking water and the trace PFAS compounds detected in the local supply. We are a Brita PRO authorized dealer and handle full assessment, installation, and ongoing service.
Call (770) 999-9871 or book online at any time. For non-emergency scheduling, we typically have same-week availability from our Marietta location. We provide flat-rate pricing before starting any work, and all jobs are backed by a full warranty. There are no hidden charges and no hourly billing surprises.
