Plumber in Crawfordsville, Indiana

Crawfordsville is the Montgomery County seat on US 136. Essential Plumbing helps Crawfordsville homeowners with water heaters, drains, softeners, sump pumps, older-home repairs and rural wells — 24/7.

Montgomery County’s seat

Crawfordsville is the county seat of Montgomery County, west-northwest of Indianapolis. It was founded in 1823 on the banks of Sugar Creek and is home to Wabash College and the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum. Neighborhoods like the Elston Grove Historic District are full of homes more than a century old.

Old houses, old plumbing

Many Crawfordsville homes have plumbing that has been added to over many decades. Common calls include:

  • Drain and sewer backups — we clear the line and can run a camera inspection to see what’s going on inside older pipes.
  • Water heater replacement — gas and electric, tank and tankless.
  • Leaky valves, faucets and toilets — repair or replacement.
  • Hard water — softeners to protect fixtures and appliances.
  • Sump pumps for basements.

Outside the city

Rural homes around Crawfordsville often rely on private wells. We repair and replace pumps and pressure tanks — our pump installers are Indiana DNR licensed — and set up filtration for iron and odor.

    “Jeff was able to come out on the same day—especially on a Saturday—to troubleshoot our water heater and get everything back up and running. Having hot water out is always a major inconvenience, so getting fast, reliable service with clear, upfront pricing makes all the difference. He has done work for most of oir family and was honest and upfront with reasonable pricing. Highly recommend.”

    “I can’t say enough great things about Jeff at Essential plumbing! Not only did he show up quickly but he offered to do the work at a fair price unlike the other bids we received. He also went above & beyond by fixing a few extra things we didn’t hire him to do! 10/10 would highly recommend!”
