Emergency plumbing in a township of 43,000
Jackson Township had about 43,067 residents in 2020, which makes it one of the larger townships in Stark County. Massillon borders it on the south. Its housing is not new. In the township's comprehensive plan, 29.3 percent of homes were built from 1970 to 1979, 34 percent before 1970 and about 4.6 percent in 1939 or earlier.
That age profile shapes the calls. Water heaters installed in the 1990s are near the end of their lives, galvanized lines in the oldest houses are failing, and 1970s drain lines have scale and roots. Call us at any hour and we book the next appointment.
24/7 dispatch
Calls are answered day and night, every day of the year.

Newer communities
Gated and planned areas have their own plumbing quirks.
Neighborhoods and roads we cover
From Lake Cable and Glenmoor to the Willowdale Lake summer colony, which dates to 1924, and Lake O'Springs Park, which dates to 1922, the township has several lake communities, and some began as seasonal summer colonies. Nobles Pond, Marchand and the village enclave of Hills and Dales are also in our range. Belden Village Mall, which opened in the late 1960s, anchors the commercial area off I-77.
We reach the township along Wales Avenue, Frank Avenue, Fulton Drive, Portage Street, Everhard Road and Arlington Avenue. If your road is a short one, give us a nearby cross street.
Converted cottages and old water lines
Summer colonies like Willowdale Lake began as seasonal cottages with thin supply lines and small drains. Homes that are now lived in all year put more load on them than the original builders planned for. Freezing is a risk where cottage lines run in unheated crawlspaces, and a split pipe is a common winter call. See burst pipe repair for what to do first.
If your home was converted from a seasonal cabin, ask for an inspection of the supply and drain lines. A camera run on the drain, described on our sewer inspection page, shows what you have before a problem strikes.

Water and utilities in Jackson Township
Aqua Ohio's well field for its Massillon Division is in Jackson Township on Riverside, so the township sits on the aquifer that serves much of Massillon. Utilities vary by address. Ask the provider on your bill about hardness, and call us if you want a softener or filter sized for your house.
The Tuscarawas River runs through the township's southwest. The other streams are headwater creeks, which means flooding can arrive fast after a hard rain. A reliable sump pump protects basements near them.
