Mackin & Sons Plumbing was founded in 2009 to provide exceptional plumbing service to residents of the greater Akron area. The foundation of their success is their love of craftsmanship and service. They believe the customer – their needs, schedule, dilemma, budget, wishes, whatever – comes first and not the other way around. Give us a call today to set up your appointment!

"8/21/2023 We requested service for drain clogging and self-diagnosed additional leaking from washer due to the clogged drain from the main kitchen sink. This was verified by plumber Anthony P. when he arrived. He was professional and completed the unclogging of my kitchen sink to the main line. Only negative was the total cost, as it was more than 2x our local company Allen Drain. But I wanted a plumber and not just an unclogging service, just in case. With my discount coupon from Angi's for service call, total was $290 for unclogging my kitchen sink drain line. I would call them again if the price was more competitive. Sarah K"

"I was a loyal customer for 20+ years. When I sold my home, they were awful. The people in the front office are horrible, no respect for residential customers. Seniors beware!!!! Picture this, after 27 years in my home, the movers had just left, we were sharing a tearful goodbye with my daughter in the driveway, when my phone rings, the realtor telling me there was a last minute snag because the nasty ******* at Davis read the riot act to my buyer, telling him he needed to extend the rental plan or they would rip out their equipment. Never mentioned that he could buy it - get this, the young nasty ***** in the office told me $350, then the office manager told me $300, then they told the new buyer $379. This to buy out 20+ year old equipment that was fully depreciated 10 years ago. Liars! Rob Davis would be very sad to know how they treat customers now. Probably sorry he left his name on the company."

"I had a sewage pump fail with flooding in my basement. The system was installed by the prior owner and I had little information about it. I talked to 6 different plumbers and my city with 4 professionals coming to my house and failing to diagnose the problem. Eventually, I was referred to Harper Well & Pump. Mike was prompt in helping me diagnose the problem over the phone and said he could bring several parts for different potential solutions in the morning. He arrived when he said he would and made surprisingly quick work confirming the problem, replacing a failed sewage pump and its system, and replacing the old worn crock seal. Work was tidy."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Installing a water softener could help reduce calcium buildup in your pool if your pool has high calcium hardness as a result of hard drinking water in your home. Pool softeners work by exchanging calcium and magnesium for sodium, so if you use softened water to top off your pool, it may help keep calcium hardness from rising over time. However, it won’t lower the calcium hardness of the water already in your pool and isn’t a practical way to control pool calcium levels. The average water softener installation cost is between $200 and $6,000.

Yes, a water softener can remove scale deposits. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, after you add a water softener to your home, “gradually the softer water will dissolve limescale scale deposits and remove the problem entirely.” Installing a water softener—or water descaler—will also help prevent new scale deposits from forming.

The most accurate way to determine whether you have hard water is to purchase a water test kit from a hardware store or send a tap water sample to a lab. But there are some signs you can look out for without professional testing. For instance, if you're consistently dealing with mineral stains on your glassware, windows, and shower doors, you're likely to have hard water. Hard water can also make it harder to lather and rinse soap, so if you're struggling to work up a good lather in the shower, hard water might be the culprit.

Yes, it is safe to bathe in yellow water. The iron or tannin content won’t harm your skin, and soap will clean you whether your water is clear or yellow. If you find bathing in yellow water problematic, you can ask a pro to inspect your plumbing and determine how to get your water clear again.

It’s not a good idea to oversize your water softener. Doing so will mean the tank doesn’t get full, which can lead to channeling. This leads to a large portion of the resin beads not being utilized and the beads at the bottom of the tank being overused. Over time, this will reduce the efficiency of your system, not to mention that the upfront cost of an oversized softener is unnecessarily high. If you have a timed regeneration cycle rather than a demand-based one, you’ll also spend far more on replacing salt than you need to.
