The Importance of Modern Plumbing
It’s hard to overestimate the role that modern plumbing plays in the lives we all lead. Most of us take for granted things like having clean running water, flushing toilets, and hot water on demand. Of course, when one of those functions breaks down, it quickly becomes clear just how valuable it is.
In those moments, you realize just how vital a role plumbers play in Greenfield and New Castle. Most plumbing projects are beyond the scope of a DIY job, so it’s important to have a trained, experienced, knowledgeable plumber available when you need help. We take pride in keeping our plumbers up-to-date on all of the latest techniques in the industry, and we use quality, high-tech tools to deliver superior results.

The “Five Ps” we use to guide our actions each day say a lot about what you can expect when working with Jake's:
- Process Oriented

- Professional
- Productivity

Plumbing in Greenfield
Reliable plumbing is key to a comfortable life in Greenfield and New Castle. In winter months, freezing conditions are common, which increases the risk of frozen or burst pipes. Having your pipes properly insulated or replacing old, vulnerable pipes with new ones can make it less likely that you’ll encounter trouble.
Indiana is also no stranger to heavy rains, especially in the spring and fall. When those rains come down, sewer systems and sump pumps can be stressed, exposing any issues that already existed.
By working with an experienced plumber like Jake's whenever a problem comes up, you know that your system is ready for whatever challenge Indiana might throw your way.
Signs You Need a Plumber
Some plumbing problems start small. Then, they snowball into a very expensive, very dirty problem. To avoid dealing with a plumbing emergency, keep an eye out for:
- Water draining slowly from your sinks, tubs, or showers
- Weak water flow out of your faucets and showerheads
- Slowly dripping faucets
- Continuously running toilets
- Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors that may indicate a leak
- Banging, rattling, or whistling sounds coming from your pipes
- Regularly repeating drain clogs
- Inconsistent hot water

Sink & Faucet Repair
Have you recently noticed a problem with your sink in New Palestine or Greenfield? While sinks are generally reliable, you can run into trouble with issues like dripping faucets, worn seals, corroded components, or slow drainage. Our professional Knightstown plumbers will assess the situation, determine exactly what is wrong with your sink, and complete the necessary repairs.
Get Your Sink or Faucet RepairedDrain Cleaning
Over time, the drains in your New Castle home get clogged by grease, soap residue, hair, or other debris. You might try DIY fixes, but those usually only yield temporary results. To fully clear the blockage and restore proper flow, our plumbers use professional equipment and techniques like snaking or hydro jetting. Drain cleaning services are usually completed in just a short visit, so get in touch now to get started.
Leave Drain Cleaning to UsWater Main Service
Your water main brings clean water from the city supply into your home. If you have any problems with your water main, the rest of your plumbing won’t be able to perform. Issues can include leaks, corrosion, or complete breaks in the line. Our plumbers will do a complete inspection to understand the issue and restore reliable, fresh water to your house in Greenfield.
Water Main Fixes Are a Call AwayBathroom Remodeling
Are you remodeling one or more of your bathrooms? This is an exciting project, but you need to get the plumbing right from the start. Work with us to make sure your water lines, drainage, and venting systems are properly configured. We’ll ensure that everything behind the walls is in proper working order before you put the finishing touches on this project.
Bathroom Remodeling Doesn't Have to Be a HeadacheKitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodeling project often includes updating the sinks, installing a new dishwasher or refrigerator, and adding a garbage disposal. Major plumbing work will be needed if you are changing the layout of the space. Call us today at (765) 345-9329 to get started.
Contact a Local Kitchen RemodelerGasfitting
You have a number of gas lines serving your home in Greenfield. They power appliances like furnaces, stoves, and water heaters, and must be plumbed correctly to remain safe. We have all of the tools and experience necessary to plumb gas systems, so reach out to us the next time you need a licensed gasfitter.
Contact a Local GasfitterLeak Repair
Water leaks in Greenfield and New Castle are not always obvious. Our plumbers use leak detection tools to find the source of the problem before more damage is done. Whether the issue is under a sink, behind a wall, near a fixture, or somewhere in your water line, we’ll track it down and fix it.
Fix Your LeakRepiping
Many older homes in Indiana have aging pipes that were installed decades ago. Over time, those pipes corrode, restrict water flow, discolor your water, or become more likely to leak. If small repairs are no longer enough, repiping may be the better long-term option. Jake's can determine whether targeted pipe replacement or whole-home repiping makes more sense. We’ll then install new pipes that fit your needs.
Replace Old PipesSewer Main Services
One of the most important parts of your New Palestine plumbing system is the sewer main. This is the critical line that carries wastewater away from your home and out to the sewer. Tree roots will sometimes get into sewer lines underground, cracking them open and leading to blockages. We offer a range of sewer main services, including inspection, cleaning, repair, and replacement.

If you’ve been having any trouble with your water heater, call us now at (765) 345-9329 to talk about the situation.
Water Heater Repair
If your New Castle water heater is making strange noises, for one thing, that’s a clear indication that something is wrong. Also, if there is a drop in performance or if you see a leak, you’ll want to schedule plumbing service. We’ll inspect the unit and look for problems like worn heating elements, faulty thermostats, sediment buildup, and problems with the pressure release valve.
Schedule Water Heater RepairWater Heater Replacement
It’s common to get somewhere between 10 and 20 years of useful life out of a traditional hot water heater. Tankless models may last a little longer. At some point, however, it will be best to stop repairing problems and just replace the unit instead. With a new water heater, you’ll enjoy great performance while reducing energy consumption. Our plumbers in Greenfield will help you pick the right system based on your family’s needs.
Trust Us for Water Heater ReplacementTankless Water Heaters
Many homes throughout Henry County have upgraded to tankless water heaters in recent years. There is a lot to like about going tankless, including saving space in your garage or basement, having an endless supply of hot water, and cutting down on your energy bill. Whether you are ready to make this switch or would just like to learn more, our plumbing company is happy to chat.

Everyone should enjoy a reliable supply of clean water in their home. Have you noticed lately that your water isn’t as clean as you think it should be, or doesn’t taste very good? Several water quality systems are available from Jake's to solve this problem.
Water Softeners
Hard water is a problem throughout Henry County. When the water supply has a high concentration of minerals, those minerals build up inside your pipes, water heater, and plumbing fixtures. Over time, that buildup will cause plumbing problems. Having a water softener installed in New Castle or Greenfield addresses the hard water issue before it gets into the rest of your plumbing.
Get a Water SoftenerReverse Osmosis Systems
If you’d like fresh, tasty water straight from the tap, a reverse osmosis system may be in order. These systems are usually installed under the kitchen sink and use a membrane to remove things like minerals and contaminants from the water. Once the system is in place, it’s important to have the filter changed regularly to maintain performance over time.
See if RO is Right for YouWater Filtration
At Jake's, we install water filtration systems that improve the quality, taste, and even smell of your New Palestine household water. There are options for whole-home filtration systems, as well as point-of-use versions. Before selecting the right product for your needs, we’ll review the water quality concerns you have and pick out the correct model to address those concerns successfully.
Filter Your WaterWe’re Here in the Case of Emergencies
Plumbing emergencies pop up without warning and throw your plans into disarray. Whatever you expected to do for the day may have to be canceled as you shut off the water supply and call a plumber to minimize the damage. Fortunately, Jake's offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service.
Things like burst pipes, overflowing toilets, sewer backups, and major leaks all fall into the category of plumbing emergencies. While something like a slow sink drain can wait until normal business hours to be solved, you can’t sit back while a toilet keeps overflowing or a burst pipe sprays water everywhere. When time is of the essence, call (765) 345-9329, and we’ll respond as soon as possible.
What to Expect from Our Plumbing Process
If you haven’t called a plumber in a long time—or maybe ever—you might not know what to expect when we arrive. This process can also vary from one local plumber to another. For most projects, our process will look like the following:
- Schedule an appointment. This is where it starts. Fill out our online form or call us directly at (765) 345-9329 to talk about your plumbing needs and find a time that works for your schedule.
- Inspection process. We will begin with an inspection to determine the scope of the work required. In the case of a repair, this means figuring out what has failed and how it can be fixed. For a new installation, we’ll assess the situation and evaluate what work will be needed, along with what components, to achieve the outcome you desire.
- Clear pricing and timeline. With the inspection finished, we can give you a quote for the work and a timeline to complete it. You’ll also be able to ask any questions you may have at this time.
- Work is performed. Our plumber will either start the work right away or schedule a time with you when the job can be done. We are always careful to protect your home while the work is in progress, and we keep everything as clean as possible.
- Testing and completion. Once the work is finished, the system will be carefully tested to make sure it is working as expected before we pack up and go.

Frequently Asked Questions - Plumbing Service
How much will plumbing service cost?
There is a huge range of potential prices for the plumbing services in Greenfield. A basic service call for something like a minor faucet or drain repair can cost less than $200 in many cases. If you need more significant work performed, like fixture replacements or pipe repairs, you may be looking at a bill in the $500 range. The only way to know for sure is to call us at (765) 345-9329 to schedule an appointment for a quote.
How do I know if I have a leak?
The sound of running water somewhere in your New Palestine home when no fixtures are in use is often the first sign of a problem. You also may notice that your water bill has gone up, or that you have damp spots, water stains, a musty smell, or even peeling paint. One way to check for a leak is to turn off all fixtures in the house and then watch your water meter. If it keeps changing, something is wrong. Working with a professional plumber in Henry County is the best way to track down hidden leaks and have them repaired.
What plumbing equipment does Greenfield work on?
We can work on any of the plumbing equipment in your home. That list includes all of the fixtures like sinks, toilets, showers, and faucets. It also includes water heaters, garbage disposals, and sump pumps. If you have problems with any of your drains or pipes, we are fully qualified to work on those as well. Call us at (765) 345-9329 to schedule an appointment with a plumber in Greenfield and New Castle.
Why should I care about hard water?
Hard water in Greenfield is a problem because minerals like calcium and magnesium can build up inside your plumbing system over time. The buildup is gradual, but as it gets worse, it will start to reduce water flow, decrease efficiency, and shorten the lifespan of your fixtures. Using a treatment system to address hard water can go a long way to avoid these frustrating outcomes.
What should I do before my plumber arrives?
It is helpful to have the area around your plumbing problem as clear as possible so our plumber has easy access to the fixtures, pipes, or appliances. Also, if you know where your main water shut-off valve is located, be ready to turn it off if the issue gets worse before we arrive. You might also want to write down any symptoms you’ve noticed so our team will have as much information as possible to work with.
Do you offer emergency plumbing in Greenfield?
Yes, we are happy to offer emergency plumbing services to customers throughout Henry County. We understand that some plumbing problems can’t wait until normal business hours, so our team will jump into action as soon as possible. Some of the issues that qualify as emergencies include major leaks, burst pipes, sewage backups, or a complete loss of water. Emergency services can prevent costlier damage, so call us now at (765) 345-9329 to get started.
What plumbing brands do you service?
We are able to work on equipment from all major plumbing brands. Our team is experienced with products from Moen, Delta, Kohler, American Standard, and Grohe, among many others. When you need plumbing help, don’t worry about the brand of the fixture or appliance that has failed. Just call Jake's directly and explain the problem you are facing. No matter what it is, we’ll be up to the challenge.
Why won’t my toilet stop running?
A running toilet in New Castle is usually caused by a relatively simple problem. Things like malfunctioning fill valves, worn flappers, and floats that aren’t properly adjusted can all cause the water to keep running in your toilet even when it shouldn’t. Not only is the sound of a running toilet annoying, but the water that is wasted can add up significantly on your utility bill. Have one of our plumbers fix the problem right away.
What signs indicate a hidden leak?
If you have noticed a drop in water pressure or the sound of running water behind walls, you might have a leak you can’t see. Also, you may have seen signs of mold growth or picked up musty smells. Water leaks may also leave discolored spots on your ceilings or walls. Please don’t ignore any signs of a possible leak, even if it doesn’t seem too serious on the surface.
Why does my hot water run out so fast?
Sediment buildup in your water heater can reduce its effective capacity, which will cause you to run out of hot water more quickly. This issue could also stem from a failing heating element, a thermostat issue, or a tank that is simply too small for the needs of your home in Greenfield. Call us at (765) 345-9329 to schedule an inspection and get to the heart of the matter.
Can you handle the plumbing for my home remodeling?
Absolutely. Having a reliable plumber is an essential part of the home remodeling puzzle, and we would be happy to serve in that role. We can complete all necessary plumbing tasks, including rerouting pipes, installing new fixtures, upgrading water lines, and making sure everything is up to code. Proper planning and installation upfront can save you from frustrating and costly changes later on.
