A plumbing emergency isn’t only an inconvenience. Frozen/burst pipes, leaks, drain/pipe/sewer line clogs, a malfunctioning water heater, or gas line problem can put your home and family at serious risk. Our team is always here to address your emergency plumbing needs.

Quality Plumbing Repair Services

Our plumbers are trained to address a wide range of situations and can provide:

  • Drain Cleaning: When drains repeatedly get clogged, there could be an underlying issue; if multiple drains clog or back up simultaneously, a sewer line problem may be present.
  • Leak Detection: If there are signs of a leak, don’t wait. Major damage could be imminent, but we employ advanced leak detection equipment to find the source of the issue.
  • Boiler/Water Heater Repair: Don’t wait to have your faulty boiler or water heater inspected. A minor problem can be disruptive and even dangerous, especially if it triggers a fire or carbon monoxide leak.
  • Toilet Repair: The toilet is one of the most frequently used fixtures; a problem can be annoying and messy, so you want to have your toilet checked/fixed as soon as possible.
  • Pipe Repair: A pipe leak can lead to a rupture that causes enormous amounts of water to flood your home, cause warping and mold growth, and possibly lead to structural damage.
  • Frozen Pipes: Pipe freezing is common on exterior and/or uninsulated pipes in winter and can easily break a pipe due to expansion or by increasing water pressure.
  • Frozen Pipes: Pipe freezing is common on exterior and/or uninsulated pipes in winter and can easily break a pipe due to expansion or by increasing water pressure.
  • Faucet/Sink Repair: Many activities at home depend on working faucets and sinks. A malfunction can be caused locally and also signal a plumbing issue such as a blockage or leak.
  • Sump Pump Repair: If you’re sump pump stops working during a rainstorm, your home may be in immediate danger; you can call on Akian Plumbing anytime for emergency service.
  • Backflow Preventer Installation/Repair: If your home doesn’t have a backflow preventer, we’ll install one; if it needs to be fixed, we’ll do so before issues such as sewage backups happen or persist.
  • Garbage Disposal Repair: We can safely unclog or repair garbage disposals, and check for underlying problems such as blocked P-traps.
  • Appliance Leaks: Call if you have a damaged dishwasher, washing machine, or other plumbing appliance or suspect an issue involving its connections.
  • What to Do in Case of a Plumbing Emergency

    It’s hard not to be alarmed during a plumbing emergency. The best thing is to stay calm and not panic. If possible, turn off the water source, water heater, or main valve. Check for any visible leaks or symptoms that you can relay to a plumber before they arrive. While many homeowners are tempted to try a DIY fix, this is a recipe for disaster as it can cause more serious damage. Instead, call a contractor for emergency plumbing repair; experienced plumbers have the right knowledge, tools, and training to properly address common issues.

    We were happy with the plumbing work done by George A, replacing several shutoff valves, including the house main. He was helpful in explaining how we should coordinate with the water department. - - - - Less than a week later, we had a second great experience with Akian. We were very pleased with the bathroom plumbing work done by Chase D. and Jaelin M. They made every effort to first repair the old dripping shower/tub fixture, but found that was not possible and explained why. They were quickly able to pivot to a replacement, clearly explaining what options were available and how it would be accomplished by cutting a hole in the closet wall behind the tub. They took care to cut a neat hole and cleaned up the resulting dust. We also had the old bathroom sink faucet replaced. They encountered difficulties due to the age of these fixtures, but Chase and Jaelin were able to handle them with ease, replacing additional pipes when needed. They were happy to answer all of our questions as they worked. Thank you. 9/10/26 Thank you for your hard work replacing 2 water heaters today!

    James G visited today and helped me remediate a leak. The visit was timely and he was extremely professional. James diagnosed the issue quickly, walked me through the issue, and left the area the way he found it. I highly appreciate James and Akian.

    I called to ask for a general price range for replacing a P-trap. They told me they would not provide any pricing information unless they first sent a master plumber out for a $120 service call. I even asked what the *lowest* possible cost for a basic P-trap replacement would be, just so I could have some idea of what to expect, and they still refused to answer. That made me uncomfortable. I understand that an exact quote may require seeing the job in person, but refusing to provide even a starting price or rough range felt unnecessarily vague. I didn't feel comfortable paying $120 upfront without having any idea what I might ultimately be charged, so I decided not to move forward with them.

    Sean and Andrew were great. I came home from work one day to discover water damage to my bathroom ceiling. Sean came out quickly to assess the situation. He was able to get someone out to remediate right away. Once the cleanup was complete, Andrew came out to do some further investigate and was able to successfully identify the water source in my very old condo building in Brighton. Both were very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

    So wanted to give an update to a 2 star review i left for Akian for work done about a month ago. I had two gripes: Call center customer service and dispatch and high pricing. I have to give their management credit: They saw my review, reached out and yesterday service manage Jeff called me. It's rare these days for someone to really listen to how things looked on my side of the road and to Jeff's credit he did that. Not only that we reached and agreement regarding what i felt was high pricing two two of the three components they replaced on my AC system. In addition he mentioned that they are moving away from the foreign call center customer service--this is a good thing. Who wants to feel if they get disconnected they can't call the person back? All this reassured me that despite some issues they are getting themselves on track and that they cared enough to make things right for me.

    Carlos came today to troubleshoot my central AC. which stopped working yesterday. He was very upfront saying that he was unfamiliar with my particular set up. However, with assistance from his office, he was able to diagnose and fix the issue. It was not a simple 1-2-3 due to the poor initial installation from another company 9 years ago. He was diligent looking for solutions and was able to get the AC working. Part of the issue was the thermostat, which he replaced. I will make Akian my go-to company for my system. thank you Carlos. It is only a 4 because I was hoping for same day services yesterday.

    Do not call if you actually have an emergency. Called them around 5pm this afternoon, told them my toilet was leaking all over the floor and that I was on the ground floor of a multi-floor condominium building. They opened a ticket and said someone would be out between 6pm and midnight. Called around 6:30 to see if there was an update, because even with the water turned off I had about 2 inches of water leaking out onto the floor. She said the plumber was finishing up a call then heading to me. I called an hour later and she said "oh, we don't service multi-floor buildings you will have to call someone else but they NEVER called to tell me. Wasted two hours waiting for a plumber that was never coming, causing damage to the bathroom floor and the carpeting in the hallway.

    My first time using Akian for my HVAC maintenance. James G. was friendly, knowledgeable, good at explaining and informative. Much appreciated. I also appreciate that the company sent out a reminder text for the appointment with a picture of the service person. Consider me a new customer of Akian who will be requesting James G. every time! Thank you.

    We had an AC system that was not running, so we scheduled an appointment with Akian. Matt showed up on schedule, diagnosed the problem, and completed the necessary work quickly and at a reasonable price. We have used Akian in the past and continue to be very happy with their service. We will call them again for plumbing and HVAC issues in the future.

    Sean C. and his assistant Berkeley came by on schedule and assessed the rusting flange on my toilet. Gave me a couple of options and what he recommended. Toilet installed and working well. The key items for the five star rating was their professional mannerism and attention to cleanliness (wearing shoe covers, wiping up spilt water, taking all trash with them, and most of all, they are pleasant people.). Thanks Akian Plumbing.
