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.
Yes. Our office is at 1609 Rank Parkway Court on the north side of Kokomo, and plumbers are dispatched across Howard and Tipton counties every day. Call 765-236-1212 or schedule plumbing service online; after-hours emergency service is available when water is going where it shouldn’t.
All of Kokomo and Howard County plus Tipton County, including Greentown, Russiaville, Sharpsville, Tipton, Windfall, Hemlock, Oakford, Kempton, Goldsmith, Hobbs and West Middleton. If you’re on the county line, call and we’ll tell you.
Standard drain cleaning is a flat $59. You get the price before we start, and if the line keeps clogging we’ll recommend a camera inspection so you can see whether the problem is in the house drain or the sewer lateral.
You get the repair price in writing before any work starts, and we meet or beat competitors’ written quotes. Estimates on water heaters, water softeners, sump pumps and sewer line work are free.
Yes. We install and service both tankless and traditional tank water heaters, haul the old unit away and offer financing. With Kokomo’s hard water, we’ll also talk to you about a softener or a yearly descaling so the tankless unit lasts.
Yes. For homes outside city service around Greentown, Russiaville and Tipton County we handle well pumps, pressure tanks and well water testing, plus septic tank service. We don’t do commercial plumbing.
In homes built before the 1960s it’s usually galvanized steel supply pipe corroding shut from the inside. Cleaning the aerators helps for a week; repiping fixes it. We’ll check the pressure at the meter first to rule out a city-side issue.
