Plumbing in Shelbyville homes

Shelbyville is the Shelby County seat, located southeast of Indianapolis along Interstate 74 on the Big Blue River. It has a historic downtown with older homes nearby, newer neighborhoods on the edges of the city, and a large rural area around it.

Older homes in town tend to call about pipe leaks, cast iron drains and sewer line problems. Rural properties add wells, septic systems and sump pumps.

Sump pumps and wet basements

Heavy rain and spring snowmelt raise the water table in low lying parts of Shelby County. If your basement takes on water, the biggest differences come from a correctly sized sump pump, a check valve, and a battery backup for power cuts.

Test the pump each February by pouring water into the pit and checking that it starts, empties the pit and shuts off. Make sure the discharge line outside carries water well away from the foundation.

Wells and septic outside the city

Rural Shelby County homes often rely on a private well and septic system. Many plumbing contractors service pressure tanks, water treatment and the drain lines to the septic tank, while well drilling and septic pumping are separate specialists.

Shelbyville is near the edge of the area we cover, so availability can vary by time and location. We'll be upfront about what we can arrange when you call.
