Plumbing Inspections
What Our Neighbors Are Saying
If you want to work with an honest plumber who will execute the job with excellence, then you need to come to Parkhurst Family Plumbing! We had a major water leak and they got us in contact with a company that would help us with the insurance process while working quickly to help resolve the plumbing issues. We have had him install our kitchen sink four years ago, install a dish washer, install some toilets, replace the outside water spigot after it was leaking, reinstall the garbage disposal, fix the burst pipe (which required getting in the slab) and also fix a bad installation of a pipe in our bathroom by the home builders 20 years ago. He does an outstanding job and will be honest through the process. He’s also come out after hours and all times of the day and NOT charged an arm and a leg. Thanks, Larry! I should have left a review a long time ago — he can do it all!

I contacted Larry around 11am because the installers for our new stove said we needed to have a licensed plumber come out and change our stoves gas line. Larry came out later the same day and had everything fixed and even helped install our new stove for us. I highly recommend reaching out to him if you find yourself in need with your plumbing because he really saved my sanity by being here so fast and helping us.

Save thousands and use Parkhurst. The big dogs in town will rob you blind!! Apples to Apples quote proves that. One of the few honest business left in Indianapolis. I will 100% use them in the future.

We had a new experience in our home last night. We used the master tub, only to come downstairs and find an absurd amount of water coming from around the air vent in the kitchen ceiling! I immediately called Larry, and he was able to come over bright and early this morning to check the problem. Larry quickly found the issue: come to find out, we had a crack in the overflow catch! Larry was able to get it fixed and did a great patch in the wall, too! We’ve never had a plumbing issue before this, but if we ever do again, we definitely know who to call!

Meet Larry, Three Decades in the Trade
Larry Parkhurst started plumbing in 1995 at age 17, apprenticing under a master plumber who taught him to treat every job like signing his name to a document. After 28 years working for other companies, Larry opened Parkhurst Family Plumbing in November 2023 with a simple commitment: honest work, fair prices, and a customer for life.
Today Larry runs the business alongside his family and serves his community through Living Waters Outreach, preparing lunches for neighbors in need every Saturday. That service mindset shows up in the work too: free second opinions, repair-first recommendations, and no-cost or low-cost help for single mothers and widows.
INDIANAPOLIS WATER: WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN IT?
Indianapolis tap water runs 12 to 25 grains per gallon — anything above 7 is considered hard, according to Citizens Energy Group. That mineral load is why water heaters, fixtures, and appliances wear out early across the Southside.

Questions Southside Homeowners Ask Most
Do you offer emergency plumbing in Indianapolis?
Yes. We handle leak detection, burst pipes, and same-day emergency plumbing during our business hours (Mon–Fri 7am–7pm, Saturday 10am–4pm). Call (317) 517-9348 and we’ll get to your home the same day when practical.
What are the signs I need a water softener?
Lime scale on faucets, spots on clean dishes, stiff laundry, and soap that won’t lather are the most common signs. Indianapolis water runs hard at 12 to 25 grains per gallon per Citizens Energy Group, so most Southside homes benefit from a softener.
How do I know if my water heater needs replacement?
Leaks from the bottom of the tank, rust-colored hot water, or no hot water at all usually mean replacement. A unit under ten years with a single failed part can often be repaired for a fraction of a new install.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Larry holds Indiana master plumber license CO52400001, and we’re fully bonded, insured, BBB Accredited, Navien and Rinnai certified, OSHA safety certified, and members of the Indiana PHCC.
Do you offer financing?
Yes — we partner with Wisetack for 0% interest financing over 12 months on qualifying jobs, with online pre-approval. We also offer 10% off for seniors, veterans, and first responders, plus free second opinions.
