When a water heater lets go on a Sunday night, you don’t want a plumber who “serves central Indiana.” You want the one whose trucks are already on Rank Parkway. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling has been the plumber for Kokomo, Howard County and Tipton County homes since 1969, with licensed, drug-tested, background-checked plumbers who give you the price in writing before any work starts. Phones are answered 24/7, and after-hours emergency service is available when a pipe bursts, a sewer backs up or the sump pump quits in the middle of a storm.
From a dripping faucet to a full sewer lateral replacement, every residential plumbing job in Kokomo gets the same crew, the same upfront price and the same Worry-Free Guarantee. Pick the service you need below or call and describe the problem; our dispatcher will get the right plumber to your door.
Hard water. Whether you’re on Kokomo city water or a well out toward Greentown or Russiaville, Howard County water runs hard. It scales up water heaters, crusts faucets and shortens the life of dishwashers and washing machines. A water softener and an annual water heater flush are the two cheapest fixes we install.
Aging sewer laterals. A lot of Kokomo was built before 1970, and many of those homes still drain through the original clay or cast-iron line to the street. Tree roots find the joints, the pipe cracks or bellies, and you get repeat backups. A camera inspection shows exactly what’s there before anyone talks about sewer line repair or replacement.
Wet basements and sump pumps. Low-lying lots near Wildcat Creek and the older neighborhoods with block foundations rely on a sump pump the night it rains. We install sump pumps and battery backups so a power blink during a storm doesn’t turn into a flooded basement.
Galvanized and polybutylene pipe. Older homes with galvanized supply lines lose pressure and rust from the inside; 1980s and ’90s homes with polybutylene are a leak waiting to happen. Whole-house repiping in PEX or copper solves both for good.
Frozen and burst pipes. Every January we thaw and repair lines in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls across Kokomo and Tipton. If a pipe has frozen, shut off the main and call; frozen pipe and burst pipe repair are available after hours.
A burst pipe, a sewer backing up into the basement or a water heater flooding the utility room can’t wait for Monday. Our phones are answered 24/7, and after-hours emergency plumbing service is available across Kokomo, Howard County and Tipton County. Call 765-236-1212, tell the dispatcher what’s happening, and if you can, shut off the main water valve while you wait.
