Converse straddles the Miami and Grant county line, and from our shop at 614 E 4th St in Marion it’s about a 20-minute drive west on State Road 18. We’ve been serving Converse since 1969. Our plumbers and HVAC techs work on everything from houses built before World War II to ranches from the ’70s and later.
Call (765) 664-4328 any time, day or night. Somebody answers, and we’ll tell you when a truck can be there.
Converse is an easy run from Marion, so same-day service is often possible when the schedule allows. If you’ve got no heat or water where it shouldn’t be, say so when you call and we’ll push you up the list.
The person who picks up works for Summers, and the tech who shows up is drug tested and background checked. They’ll explain what they find before they fix it.
You’ll hear what’s wrong and what the repair costs before any work starts. If something can wait, or there’s a cheaper fix that holds up, the tech will tell you.
What Converse Homeowners Call Us About
Converse Water Works pumps groundwater, and groundwater in this part of Indiana is very hard. That scale settles in the bottom of a tank and makes it rumble. We handle water heater repair and flushes, and we can size a water softener if the crust on your faucets is getting old.
About a third of the houses in Converse were built before 1960. Houses that age often still have clay or cast iron running out to the street, and roots love the joints. We run a recorded drain camera first so you can see the problem, then talk sewer line repair options.
A lot of furnace repair calls come down to a dirty flame sensor, a cracked igniter or a filter that hasn’t been changed. On the cooling side, a spring AC tune-up finds the weak capacitor before the first 90-degree week does.
Converse was laid out in 1849 under the name Xenia, and the old Converse Depot is still on the National Register. Most homes here are single-family. Roughly one in five went up before 1940, and a lot of the rest came along in the ’70s and after. In the older ones we still find galvanized supply pipe that’s rusting shut from the inside. When the pressure upstairs is a trickle, it’s usually time to look at repiping.
In 2024 the town got state grant money to update its water treatment plant and put a mixer in the water tower so it’s less likely to freeze. That’s the town’s side of the meter. Your side is the service line, the main shutoff and everything inside the house, and that’s where we come in. Call (765) 664-4328 or book online.
Yes. Converse is part of our Marion service area, about 20 minutes from the shop on State Road 18. Our phones are answered 24/7 at (765) 664-4328. When it’s an emergency, like no heat in January or a pipe that let go, tell us and we’ll work to get a tech there the same day.
Converse is on town water that comes from wells, and groundwater around here usually tests very hard. Whether you need a softener depends on what you’re seeing: white crust on fixtures, spotty dishes, or a water heater that pops and rumbles. We can test the water at your house and tell you straight whether a softener is worth it.
That usually means a partial blockage in the main line, often roots in an old clay or cast iron joint, so water can’t leave the house as fast as the washer pumps it out. We’ll clear the line and run a camera so you know if it was a one-time clog or a pipe that needs repair.
