Plumber in Greencastle, Indiana

Essential Plumbing serves Greencastle, the Putnam County seat, and the rural homes around it. We take care of older-home plumbing, drains, water heaters, softeners, sump pumps and wells — 24/7.

A college town with historic neighborhoods

Greencastle was founded in 1821 and is the county seat of Putnam County, near I-70 between Indianapolis and Terre Haute. It’s home to DePauw University and the courthouse square downtown. Three historic neighborhoods — Old Greencastle, the Eastern Enlargement and Northwood — were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.

Plumbing in older Greencastle homes

  • Drain and main-line backups — clearing plus camera inspection to see the condition of older lines.
  • Water heaters — replacing older tank units, gas or electric, or moving to tankless.
  • Valves, supply lines and fixtures — the parts that wear out first in older homes.
  • Rental and multi-unit homes — faucets, toilets and water heaters that see heavy use.

Rural Putnam County

Outside the city, many homes depend on private wells. We repair and replace well pumps and pressure tanks — our pump installers are Indiana DNR licensed — and install softeners and filtration.

    “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!”
