At PG Plumbing we have a simple yet powerful reason for starting our plumbing company: to bring a breath of fresh air to the plumbing industry in Fort Wayne and Allen County. With the rise of large corporate plumbing conglomerates, we noticed the disappearance of the small, locally-owned plumbing businesses that once thrived in our community. This inspired us to step in and make a difference. Our mission is clear: we are here to provide our customers with cost-effective, personal experiences rather than prioritizing profit margins. We understand the frustration that often comes with plumbing issues, and our goal is to alleviate that stress with a service you can trust. We invite you to choose PG Plumbing a local, employee-owned, reliable, and trustworthy team, for all your plumbing needs. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we are committed to providing you with the best service possible. Thank you for considering us as your plumbing partner in Fort Wayne. We look forward to serving you and your community for years to come.

Family owned business with over 10 years of experience handling all your Plumbing needs for residential plumbing repairs. Water, fuel, and drainage systems. **There is a $50.00 trip charge that will be waived if you hire our company.

"Chance was great. He installed our 3-stage water filtration system (US Water sediment, carbon, and Pulsar UV) with an existing softener, a new water heater, and fixed two shower leaks (one drain, one valve). In all of these, he efficiently evaluated each system and made the necessary updates. This was working with a plumbing system originally installed in the 1980s. Fair pricing, and very professional. We highly recommend him."

North Side Plumbing is a locally owned, 3rd generation family business, serving the Ft Wayne and surrounding areas since 1929, providing plumbing repairs and bathroom remodeling.

"The plumber broke the valve on my water heater while just doing regular maintenance, he told me he wouldn’t charge me to replace/fix it and he still charged me! I was also charged a service fee and a labor fee! I wish the fees would have been explained before I invited them into my home."

Additional contact name - Sherry Elward. Award winning.

"We had a very unprofessional experience with Roto Rooter that ended in no solution and a decent amount of money lost. We called Roto rooter because we were having flooding in our crawl space. This company claims to do water restoration and plumbing services, so they seemed like the best place to call. I clearly explained our situation to the phone operator and he helped me schedule for both a plumber AND a technician to come out so see if they could see what was going on. When the day of service came, they only sent a plumber who acted like he thought he was coming to unclog a pipe, which isn't close to the issue I explained over the phone. The man was rude and unprofessional from the very beginning. He shined a flashlight into our crawlspace and clean-out, told us he couldn't go down there or do anything, and offered to jet the line. While we were upset that he didn't look into the problem at all, we decided to go ahead with jetting the line. Just a few days prior, we were quoted approximately $400 for this job, but the plumber came back and said it would be over $900. When asked why the price was over double the initial quote, we were told they can't give accurate quotes over the phone. However, the plumber said there was "no way it would ever be that cheap", if that's the case, why did the office give us a number? I feel like it's a marketing trick and do not appreciate the deception. I do understand why the plumber didn't want to go into the crawl space, however I clearly explained the situation BEFORE scheduling a service call and was told they could check it out. The plumber said they would never go into a wet crawlspace (again, I understand why) so why would the office send someone out knowing they couldn't do a thing? The only reasonable assumptions I can make: They knew they couldn't help before they came, and figured they would get a full $210 service fee for 5 minutes of work OR that we would give in and pay for jetting the line even though it was over double the initial quote. The rudeness we experienced from staff offered no other insight, so no other assumptions can be made. I am highly disappointed, hurt, and out $210 at a time when we are hurting to get this repair done at all. Please take my words into account before hiring this company. There is a major disconnect between the office and the technicians, and neither have good customer service skills."

Adam A. Ross started his career in the Cleaning & Restoration industry over 21 years ago. What started as a simple idea, quickly grew into his first business endeavor at the age of 21. Adam believed that if you offer a quality service at competitive prices, you are bound to build a successful, long-lasting business. In 2005, he decided to sell his first company, a small carpet and upholstery cleaning business located in Northeastern Indiana. Ross Cleaning & Restoration opened in 2007, with the same commitment to quality, honesty, and integrity but focused on additional services that would help develop a stronger footprint in the community. Today, Ross is known throughout Northeast Indiana as one of the industry’s best Home Restoration Contractors and Carpet Cleaning Companies – but don’t just take our word for it, Angie’s List and Fort Wayne Newspapers agree! Over the past 19 years, the services provided have diversified and the team has grown but that same commitment to consistent quality is still alive. Ross Cleaning & Restoration is dedicated to ongoing training and certifications for its team members and continually explores new services to meet customer needs and to remain an industry leader.

FAQs for septic system installation and replacement projects in Columbia City, IN

Depending on maintenance and environmental conditions, septic distribution boxes last between 15 and 40 years. With excellent care and regular system maintenance, these components can function properly for over 30 years. Factors affecting longevity include soil conditions, proper installation, regular septic tank pumping, and avoiding excessive water usage that might overwhelm the system.

Warning signs of distribution box problems include unusually lush or soggy grass patches over your drain field, slow-draining fixtures throughout your home, and unpleasant odors in your yard. You might also experience plumbing backups, gurgling sounds in pipes, or multiple drain clogs occurring simultaneously. These symptoms indicate that wastewater isn't being evenly distributed across your leach field lines.

Most standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic distribution box replacement when damage results from normal wear, age-related deterioration, or poor maintenance. Coverage might apply if damage occurs from sudden, covered events like falling trees or vehicle impacts. Some insurers offer optional septic system endorsements for additional protection. Review your specific policy details to understand your coverage options.

Septic professionals recommend having your distribution box and overall septic system inspected every two to five years. Some homeowners opt for more frequent checks, especially if they've experienced previous issues or have an older system. Regular inspections help identify minor problems before they develop into major failures requiring complete replacement. These preventative evaluations cost between $100 and $200.
