The Everyday Repairs That Keep Your Home Running
General plumbing repairs are the most common reason people call a plumber. A faucet that won’t stop dripping, a toilet that runs all night, a shower that barely produces pressure, or an outdoor spigot that sprays where it shouldn’t. These aren’t emergencies, but they’re not optional either. They waste water, cause damage, and get worse the longer you wait.
Â
We’ve been handling these calls across the Greater Southside Indianapolis area for over three decades. We carry common parts on our truck: faucet cartridges, toilet flappers, fill valves, garbage disposal units, spigot assemblies, and shut-off valves, so most repairs are done on the same visit with no follow-up needed. We diagnose before we quote, and we quote before we work.

Common Plumbing Problems We Fix Every Day
Faucet That Won’t Stop Dripping
A faucet dripping at just one drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons of water per year, according to the EPA. That’s water and money going down the drain. The usual cause is a worn cartridge, O-ring, or valve seat, all of which are straightforward repairs.Â
- What to do: Call us to replace the worn component. If the faucet is old enough that parts are hard to find, we'll discuss whether a replacement makes more sense. We install Moen, Delta, Kohler, and American Standard faucets.
Toilet That Runs Constantly or Leaks at the Base
A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day, and you might not even hear it. The most common causes are a worn flapper, a faulty fill valve, or a misadjusted float. Leaking at the base usually means the wax ring seal has failed and needs replacement.Â
- What to do: Call us for a same-day repair. We also install comfort height toilets and water-efficient models from Toto, Kohler, and American Standard.
Garbage Disposal Won’t Turn On or Is JammedÂ
If your disposal hums but doesn’t spin, something is lodged in the grinding chamber. If it doesn’t respond at all, it could be an electrical issue, a tripped reset, or a burned-out motor. Disposals typically last 8 to 12 years before they need replacement.
- What to do: We can usually clear a jam or reset the unit in minutes. If the motor has failed, we'll replace the unit on the same visit. We install InSinkErator disposals.
Weak Water Pressure at a Faucet or ShowerÂ
If low pressure is isolated to one fixture, the aerator or showerhead is likely clogged with mineral buildup from Indianapolis hard water. If pressure is low throughout the house, it could be a partially closed shut-off valve, a failing pressure-reducing valve, or a supply line issue.Â
- What to do: Start by cleaning the aerator screen. If that doesn't help, call us. We'll track down the source and fix it.
Outdoor Hose Spigot Dripping or Won’t Shut OffÂ
A leaking outdoor spigot wastes water all season and can cause foundation moisture problems if left unaddressed. In Indianapolis, frost-free spigots are standard to prevent winter freeze damage, but the internal washers and seats still wear out over time.Â
- What to do: We repair and replace outdoor hose bibs and spigots. If yours froze and cracked over the winter, we'll replace it with a frost-free model to prevent it from happening again.

Why Call a Pro for Everyday Repairs
Stop Wasting Water and Money
Toilets account for nearly 30% of the average home's indoor water consumption, according to the EPA. A running toilet or dripping faucet doesn't just waste water; it shows up on your bill every month. A quick repair pays for itself in saved water costs.
Catch Problems Before They Grow
A slow drip under a sink can lead to water damage, mold, and a rotted cabinet floor. A toilet that rocks on its base can crack the wax ring and leak into the subfloor. Most of the expensive plumbing repairs we see started as small problems that were put off too long.
Most Repairs Done in One Visit
We stock our truck with the parts that handle 90% of residential plumbing repairs. That means we diagnose, quote, and complete most jobs in a single visit. No waiting for parts, no second appointment, no extra trip fee.
We'll Tell You What It Actually Needs
Sometimes a $12 flapper solves the problem. Sometimes the toilet needs replacement. We'll tell you which one it is and why. If a repair will hold, we recommend the repair. We don't push replacements to raise the ticket.
What to Expect on a Repair Visit
Every repair call starts with a diagnosis. We look at the problem, identify the cause, and give you a clear quote before touching anything. No work starts until you approve the price.
The Repair Process
We show up within the scheduled window, assess the issue, and explain what we find in plain language. If we have the part on our truck — and we usually do — the repair happens right then. If a specialty part is needed, we order it and schedule a return visit at your convenience. There's no charge for the return trip on the parts we ordered.
Brands We Work With
Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, Toto, InSinkErator. These are the brands we most commonly repair and install in Indianapolis homes. If you have a different brand, call us — we can still help in most cases.
Pricing
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. Our $48 diagnostic/trip fee is waived if you approve the repair. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. For larger projects, financing is available through Wisetack with 0% interest for 12 months.

Emergency Plumbing and Leak Detection
If you're dealing with a burst pipe, active flooding, or a hidden leak causing damage, that's beyond a standard repair call. Our emergency service handles urgent situations.
Water Softener Installation
Indianapolis hard water causes the mineral buildup that clogs aerators, wears out faucet cartridges, and shortens fixture life. A water softener reduces how often you need these repairs.

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.
February 25, 2026
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!

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.

Plumbing Repair Questions
How much do plumbing repairs cost?
It depends on the problem. A simple faucet cartridge replacement costs less than a full toilet installation. We provide a written quote after diagnosing the issue, before any work starts. Our $48 trip fee is waived if you proceed with the repair.
Can you fix my problem the same day?
In most cases, yes. We carry common repair parts on our truck, so the majority of faucet, toilet, disposal, and fixture repairs are completed in a single visit during the same appointment.
Should I repair or replace my faucet/toilet?
If the fixture is relatively new and the repair is straightforward, fixing it usually makes sense. If it’s old, parts are discontinued, or it’s needed multiple repairs recently, replacement is often the better investment. We’ll give you an honest recommendation either way.
Do you install new toilets and faucets?
Yes. We install kitchen and bathroom faucets, toilets (including comfort height and water-efficient models), garbage disposals, shower valves, tub spouts, outdoor spigots, and shut-off valves. We can also recommend brands and models based on your budget and preferences.
Is the $48 trip fee waived?
Yes — the $48 trip/diagnostic fee is waived if you approve and proceed with the repair. If you decide not to proceed, the trip fee covers the visit and diagnosis. Check our coupons page for additional offers.
