Northwest corner of Hendricks County
North Salem is a small town in Eel River Township, in the northwest corner of Hendricks County. It was laid out in 1835 and incorporated in 1899. East of town is flat farmland; to the west the land drops into ravines and woods along the Eel River and Big Walnut Creek. Homes out here are spread out, and almost all of them depend on their own water system.
Wells, pressure and water quality
If you live outside town, your water probably comes from a private well. We help North Salem-area homeowners with:
- Submersible well pumps — diagnosis, repair and replacement. Our pump installers are Indiana DNR licensed.
- Pressure tanks and switches, and constant-pressure systems for steady pressure at every tap.
- Iron, sulfur and hardness — filtration and softeners sized to what’s actually in your water.
- Water heaters that fill up with sediment and scale faster on untreated well water.
When something fails far from town
A well that quits on a weekend means no water for drinking, cooking or flushing. That’s why we keep the phone on 24/7. Call 317-899-9009 and tell us what you’re seeing.

“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!”

Questions
North Salem plumbing FAQs
Do you work on wells around North Salem?
Yes. We repair and replace submersible well pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches and constant-pressure systems. Our pump installers are Indiana DNR licensed.
Our well water smells like rotten eggs. What causes that?
That odor usually comes from hydrogen sulfide in the water, and it’s often stronger in the hot water. The fix depends on your water — we’ll check it and recommend the right treatment.
