About Big Tom's Plumbing & Drain in Akron, OH

Our thorough plumbing inspection is designed to give Akron homeowners a clear picture of their system's health. We'll check for leaks, assess water pressure, inspect pipes for signs of corrosion or damage common in older homes, and evaluate fixtures and water heaters. This proactive service helps identify small issues, like minor bathroom drain buildup, before they become major problems, saving you money and preventing water damage.

Akron's winters demand specific precautions. We advise on insulating exposed pipes in basements and crawl spaces, which is a common need in our area. If a pipe does freeze, our experienced technicians use controlled methods to thaw it safely and inspect for cracks or bursts. For older homes, we often recommend targeted pipe replacements with materials better suited to withstand our freeze-thaw cycles.

Absolutely. With our experience since 1975, we're familiar with the plumbing layouts and potential challenges in Akron's historic and older homes. We ensure new fixtures are properly installed and connected to existing systems, address any underlying issues like outdated galvanized pipes, and bring everything up to current code. Our goal is to make your remodel seamless and ensure your new bathroom functions reliably for years.
