What Franklin Township Homeowners Should Know
A Township That's Grown Over 200% in Recent Decades
Franklin Township’s population has surged dramatically, driven by new residential development throughout the southeastern corridor. That growth means the township has a wide range of housing ages, from 1950s and 1960s homes near the Five Points area to brand-new construction in subdivisions off Southeastern Avenue and Franklin Road. The plumbing in a 1960s home is nothing like the plumbing in a 2020s home, and we know what to expect from each.
Franklin Township's Water Is Very Hard
Pre-1980 Homes May Have Aging Pipe Materials
Franklin Township’s older neighborhoods, particularly near Five Points, along Southeastern Avenue, and in the Acton area, include homes built with galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drains that are now 50 to 70 years old. Newer homes from the 1980s and 1990s may have polybutylene supply lines. If your home’s plumbing has never been professionally assessed, a plumbing inspection is a smart first step.
Spring Storms and Clay Soil Mean Sump Pumps Matter
Franklin Township’s mix of clay soil and relatively flat terrain holds water during heavy rain events. Homes with basements, especially older ones without modern waterproofing, depend on their sump pump to keep things dry. A battery backup is essential here because the storms that bring the most water often bring power outages, too.
Franklin Township Neighborhoods We Serve
Five Points and Southeastern Avenue Area
One of the original settlement areas in the township. The Five Points intersection and the homes along Southeastern Avenue include some of the oldest housing stock in Franklin Township. We handle everything from repiping in older homes to fixture upgrades in renovated properties.
Thompson Road Corridor
A major east-west artery through the heart of Franklin Township. The neighborhoods along Thompson Road include a mix of mid-century homes and 1990s-era developments. Steady demand for water heater service, sump pump work, and general repairs.
Arlington Avenue and Acton Road Area
The neighborhoods along Arlington Avenue and extending toward Acton in the eastern part of the township. A mix of established residential areas and newer builds. Our shop on Fiesta Street is right in this zone — the fastest response territory we have.
Emerson Avenue Corridor
The western edge of Franklin Township along Emerson Avenue, bordering Beech Grove. Commercial businesses and residential neighborhoods on both sides of the road. We serve the homes and businesses along this corridor daily.
Southern Franklin Township and County Line Road
The southern edge of the township bordering Johnson County and Greenwood. Newer subdivisions with modern PEX plumbing alongside established homes. Water quality systems and remodel plumbing are common requests in this area.

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.
