Since 2013, the professionals of Summers have been proud to serve the Fort Wayne community from our central location. We, however, have been around much longer than that. In fact, our family-owned company is backed by more than four decades of industry experience! From heating to cooling to plumbing to indoor air quality, we can provide a wide range of superior and affordable services. SERVICES THAT WE PROVIDE As an HVAC and plumbing company, we are proud to meet the needs of our Fort Wayne neighbors in a wide variety of ways. From helping protect your basement from flood damage with a sump pump to the installation, maintenance, and repair of a water heater, we can do it all. We are primarily focused on serving residential needs, but we do have a light focus on commercial customers in the local area.

"The staff was incredibly knowledgeable. Even if the cost was a little high the knowledge and work done was worth it. "

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."

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.

"Everything went great!"

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."

"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."

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

Most septic system replacements require several days to complete, not including permitting and preparation time. The process begins with site assessment and testing, followed by excavation, component installation, and final inspection. Weather conditions, property accessibility, and inspection schedules can all affect your project timeline. Your contractor can provide a more specific estimate based on your property's unique characteristics.

Standard homeowners' insurance policies don't cover septic system replacement due to age or normal deterioration. Coverage may apply if damage results from specific covered events, but routine maintenance and eventual replacement are generally considered homeowner responsibilities. Review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage limitations.

Look for multiple indicators such as slow-draining fixtures, unusual gurgling sounds in plumbing, sewage odors inside or outside your home, or wet spots in your yard. Unusually lush grass over the drain field area, frequent backups, or recurring repair needs might signal system failure. Addressing these warning signs promptly can prevent property damage and health hazards.

DIY septic installation is not recommended and may violate local regulations. Professional installation ensures compliance with health codes, proper design for your specific site conditions, and appropriate safety measures. The specialized equipment, technical knowledge, and permitting requirements make this a job best left to licensed professionals who can guarantee the system's safety and effectiveness.

With proper maintenance, including regular pumping, a drain field lasts 20 years. Various factors influence system longevity, including household size, water usage patterns, and soil conditions. Regular professional inspections can help determine when replacement becomes necessary. If your system requires increasingly frequent repairs, replacement might be more economical than continuing to address individual problems.
