  • We take the time to explain the details of the project and what steps are necessary to resolve your situation. We want you to understand what needs to be done – and what caused the problem so you can avoid it in the future.

  • An Akins Plumbing Technician will call and verify your appointment with you before showing up.

We want you to feel safe when we enter your home, so we take every step we can to make you feel comfortable with your experience.
  • A real plumber answers our phone calls 24/7. You will never talk to an answering service or a secretary. We take great pride in our ability to have our plumbers field our phone calls. This saves you a lot of time by speaking directly to the technician with no middle man and we pass that savings right on to you. It’s a simple concept right? Eliminate the unnecessary wastes and extra expenses so we can offer our high quality plumbing services at a lower price than the big guys.
