Montpelier is about 20 miles east of Marion on State Road 18, roughly a 24-minute drive from our shop on E 4th St. We’ve been serving Montpelier since 1969. The water out here is some of the hardest in the area, so a lot of our plumbing calls start with scale.
Call (765) 664-4328 any time, and a person will answer.
The drive is easy, so same-day service is often possible when the schedule allows. If it’s an emergency, tell us and we’ll move it up.
The same company handles your water heater, softener, furnace and AC. You don’t have to line up three different contractors.
Our techs are drug tested and background checked, and you’ll see the price before any work starts.
Hard Water Problems and More in Montpelier
White crust on the faucets, spotty glasses and a showerhead that sprays sideways are all hard water. A water softener takes out the calcium and magnesium. For drinking water, a reverse osmosis system under the sink handles taste and dissolved minerals.
That noise is sediment boiling under a layer of scale. It wastes energy and wears out the tank. Annual water heater maintenance with a flush helps a lot. If yours is leaking or over 10 years old, we’ll go over replacement.
From a furnace that won’t light on the first cold morning to an AC that runs all day without cooling, our techs troubleshoot the whole system. See furnace repair and AC repair for what a visit covers.
Montpelier sits on the south bank of the Salamonie River in Harrison Township. Natural gas turned up nearby in 1887, and Blackford County’s first successful oil well came in just south of town in 1890. Montpelier Water Works pumps groundwater, and water samples in Blackford County test very hard. Even homes on city water deal with scale. Farms and houses outside town are often on private wells, and we handle well pumps and pressure tanks too.
About a third of Montpelier’s homes were built before 1940, and about a third are rentals, so we see plenty of tired fixtures and old shutoffs. Call (765) 664-4328 or book online.
Yes. Montpelier is about 24 minutes east of our Marion shop on State Road 18, and Blackford County is part of our service area. We handle plumbing, water treatment, wells, furnaces and air conditioning. Call (765) 664-4328 any time. For no heat, no water or an active leak, we’ll work to get someone out the same day.
Hard water leaves calcium and magnesium in the tank, and over time it forms a layer of sediment on the bottom. On a gas heater, water trapped under it boils and pops. It’s not dangerous by itself, but it wastes fuel and shortens tank life. A flush helps if it’s caught early. A softener keeps it from coming back.
They do different jobs. A softener treats all the water coming into the house and removes hardness minerals, which protects pipes, fixtures and the water heater. Reverse osmosis sits under one sink and filters drinking and cooking water much finer. With water as hard as Montpelier’s, a lot of homes use a softener for the house and RO for the kitchen.
