What Acton Homeowners Should Know
Acton's Roots Go Back to 1852 — And It's Still Growing
Acton was founded in 1852 (originally called Farmersville) as a farming community along the Indianapolis and Cincinnati Railroad. It was never incorporated and became part of Indianapolis under Unigov in 1970. Today, Acton blends that historic character with newer residential development. The plumbing in older Acton homes reflects that history, galvanized steel and cast iron from the mid-1900s alongside modern PEX in the newer builds near Acton Elementary.
Acton's Water Is Very Hard
Like the rest of Marion County, Acton is served by Citizens Energy Group with water hardness ranging from 12 to 25 grains per gallon. That hard water causes scale buildup inside your water heater, clogs aerators, spots dishes, and wears on every fixture and appliance in your home. A water softener addresses the problem at the source.
Aging Plumbing in Acton's Established Neighborhoods
The homes along and near Southeastern Avenue and Acton Road include some of the oldest residential construction in the Franklin Township area. Homes from the 1950s through 1970s commonly have galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drains that are well past their 40- to 50-year functional lifespan. If your Acton home has never had its plumbing assessed, a plumbing inspection is a practical first step.
Flat Terrain and Clay Soil Mean Sump Pumps Matter
Acton sits on the flat, clay-heavy terrain typical of southeastern Marion County. During spring rain events and heavy storms, the soil holds water and pushes it toward your foundation. A properly sized sump pump with battery backup is your best protection against basement moisture, especially in older Acton homes that predate modern waterproofing techniques.
Acton Areas We Serve

The historic east-west route that's been a transportation artery through Franklin Township since it was an Indian trail. Homes along Southeastern Avenue range from early-to-mid 1900s construction to newer development. Plumbing needs vary accordingly.
Bloomfield Lakes Estates and Maze Road Area
A newer residential development near Acton Elementary School at the corner of Acton Road and Maze Road. Homes here are generally 2000s-era with modern PEX plumbing. Common requests include water quality systems, fixture upgrades, and sump pump service.

The growing commercial and residential zone near the intersection of Southport Road and Acton Road. This area has seen significant development in recent years and sits right in the center of our fastest-response territory.

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.
