Plumbing Service for Alliance Homes, Rentals and Shops

Getting From East Canton to Alliance

Our shop on Hillvale Street in East Canton sits roughly 13 miles southwest of Alliance as the crow flies, so the city is a regular stop for us rather than a long-haul trip. The same run puts us within reach of neighboring communities such as Sebring, Beloit, Damascus, North Georgetown and Deerfield.

Alliance crosses the county line, with most of the city in Stark County and a smaller portion reaching into Mahoning. This page focuses on the Stark side. If your address falls on the other side of the line, our Mahoning County Alliance page covers that area. Either way, the phone number and the crew are the same.

What We Run Into in Alliance Houses

Much of the central city was built when galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drain stacks were standard. After decades of service, galvanized pipe tends to close up with internal rust, which shows up as weak pressure at upstairs fixtures and brownish water after the tap sits overnight. Cast iron drains can crack along the bottom where water has run for years.

Rental houses near the university add a different pattern. Turnover means fixtures see heavy use, and small drips get ignored until a tenant reports a stained ceiling. Landlords often call us between leases to catch those problems while the unit is empty.

• Low pressure and discolored water from aging galvanized supply lines
• Slow or backing-up basement floor drains tied to older sewer laterals
• Water heaters that have outlived their tanks in multi-unit buildings
• Leaking shutoff valves that no longer close all the way
• Plumbing that fails a rental or sale inspection

Services Alliance Customers Ask For Most

We handle most residential and light commercial plumbing work in the city. When a pipe lets go, our leak repair service in Alliance covers finding the source, stopping the damage and fixing the line. For houses where the galvanized pipe is past saving, whole-house repiping with copper or PEX is usually the long-term answer.

Other common calls include clogged mains and kitchen lines through our Alliance drain cleaning, gas water heater replacement, sump pump work in damp basements, and correcting code violations flagged by an inspector. We also run gas lines and handle gas appliance hookups.

When a Leak Starts Before We Get There

A few minutes of action can save a floor. Find the main shutoff, which in older Alliance homes is usually in the basement near where the water line comes through the front foundation wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. If the valve is stuck or crumbling, do not force it hard enough to snap the stem; call us and tell us so we can plan for it.

Next, shut off power to any outlets or appliances near the water, open a faucet on the lowest level to drain pressure, and move belongings out of the way. Take photos for insurance. K & K Plumbing offers emergency leak containment, plumbing damage inspections and help working through the insurance side.

A Maintenance Plan for Owners Who Want Fewer Surprises

Older city housing rewards regular check-ups. Our Residential Plumbing Maintenance Agreement costs $189 for one year or $378 for three. Members get a yearly inspection, priority scheduling, emergency support, 10% off labor and materials and no service-charge minimums.

Coverage is transferable and renews automatically, which suits Alliance owners who may sell a house or change tenants. The annual visit is a good time to test the main shutoff, look over the water heater and spot pipe corrosion early.
