Emergency plumbing
A pipe that bursts, sewage rising in a basement floor drain, a toilet that keeps running over or taps that give no water at all. Describe what you see on the phone and we connect you with an independent local plumber.

Plumbing problems you can call about
Water heater repair and installation
Tank and tankless heaters that leak at the base, run cold halfway through a shower or rumble while they heat. The plumber you hire can repair the unit, fit a new one of the same kind or change to a different type.
Drain cleaning
Kitchen sinks, tubs, showers, laundry standpipes and the main line leaving the house. A drain that runs slowly or backs up is cleared by the plumber you hire, from the trap under one sink to the sewer lateral.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A stain spreading across a ceiling, a damp patch on a concrete floor, a water bill that suddenly climbs or a soggy strip of lawn. The plumber you hire finds the leak and fixes the pipe.
Sewer line repair
Roots, cracked or sagging pipe and an old sewer lateral that keeps backing up into the house. The plumber you hire can clear the line, repair one damaged length or replace the lateral out to the main.
Repiping and water lines
Supply pipes that leak again and again, weak pressure at several taps or a water service line that has reached the end. A repipe can cover the whole house, one part of it or the line in from the main.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Toilet tanks that hiss and refill, leaky faucet spouts, shower controls that wander between hot and cold and disposals that stall mid-grind all count here. The plumber you hire fits a new part or a new fixture.
How plumbers are licensed in Indianapolis
Indiana licenses plumbers at the state level, through the Indiana Plumbing Commission, as plumbing contractors and journeyman plumbers. A journeyman works under the supervision, direction and responsibility of a licensed plumbing contractor.
Indianapolis has no plumbing license of its own. A contractor licensed by the Indiana Plumbing Commission has to register that license with the City of Indianapolis before doing any plumbing work in Indianapolis.
When Indianapolis homes were built
Nearly 6 in every 10 homes in Indianapolis were built before 1980, and about a third before 1960. Water pipes, drains and a sewer line can date from the year a house went up, so the age of your house is worth mentioning when you call.
Our process
Call and describe the problem
Phone us and explain the trouble in your own words, along with the room it is in and roughly when it began, so we know what kind of plumber to connect you with.
Get your free estimate
Your estimate comes free and without obligation; you alone decide if the plumbing work goes ahead and which day suits you.
A local plumber takes the job
Say yes and the job passes to an independent plumber who works locally, and the plumber you hire is the one who comes to the house and does the repair or installation.
Where Indianapolis water comes from
Citizens Energy Group supplies the water, serving about 900,000 consumers in multiple counties around the city. For Indianapolis it draws on the West Fork of the White River, Fall Creek, Eagle Creek Reservoir and a set of groundwater plants.
Free plumbing tools
Some plumbing questions can be answered at the kitchen table. How big a tank does a family of five need? The size calculator works it out. Would a tankless unit keep up with Indianapolis water in January? Ask the tankless flow calculator. A heater’s age hides in its serial number, which the serial number decoder reads, while your pipes get two tools of their own, the sewer line age checker by the year the house was built and the freeze risk checker by where they run.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check a plumber before the work starts?
Yes. The city’s Department of Business and Neighborhood Services posts lists of currently licensed contractors, updated monthly, and registered plumbing contractors keep liability insurance, workers’ compensation or a waiver, and a surety bond on file with the city. The state’s Web Lookup/Verification search covers Indiana Plumbing Commission licenses, and Indiana law has a plumber show the license when you ask to see it.
Should I have anything ready when I call?
Yes, though nothing formal. The street address, a description of what you can see or hear, which fixtures it affects and how long it has been going on cover the first call and your free estimate.
