Drain Installation

Drain Installation in Indianapolis

Local, Family-Owned. Two Divisions. One Company That Handles It All.

When a drain project goes beyond snaking a clog, you need a company that can handle everything from the interior plumbing connections to the underground work outside. 317 Plumber is a local, family-owned company with two in-house service divisions: plumbing and drain & excavation. We coordinate the full job ourselves, without bringing in outside contractors when the work gets complicated.

We serve Indianapolis and the surrounding communities, including Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville. Whether you’re running a new drain line for a remodel, replacing deteriorated pipe throughout your home, or adding a floor drain to a basement or garage, we handle it under one roof.

Call us any time at (317) 548-0044 to schedule your drain installation estimate, and we’ll get you started.

Why Indianapolis Homeowners & Businesses Call 317 Plumber

Drain installation work in Indianapolis requires a licensed contractor. 317 Plumber is a fully licensed company, and all services, including our drain & excavation division, are performed under that licensing. We don’t subcontract the excavation side to whoever’s available. Our two divisions work together on the same project, which keeps the timeline tighter and the communication clear.

We’re also locals. Our slogan is “We know the 317 because we are the 317,” and that’s genuinely how we operate. We know the neighborhoods, the soil conditions, and the permit offices.

Signs You Need Drain Installation, Not Just a Cleaning

A slow drain usually means a clog. But some problems point to something more serious, and knowing the difference saves you from repeated service calls that don’t fix the underlying issue.

Signs that installation or full replacement may be needed:

Multiple fixtures backing up simultaneously across different rooms or floors, which points to a failing main drain line rather than an isolated blockage
Persistent sewage odors inside or around the foundation, even after the drains run clear
Corroded or collapsed pipe in older homes, where cast iron or clay lines have deteriorated past the point of repair
New construction or remodel additions such as a basement bathroom, laundry room, or wet bar that have no existing drain connection

What the Drain Installation Process Looks Like

We don’t start with a shovel. Before any excavation happens, we assess the situation properly, typically with a sewer camera inspection that shows us exactly what’s going on inside the line. That inspection determines whether installation, replacement, or a different solution makes the most sense.

From there, our plumbing division handles the interior rough-in and connections to the existing sewer lateral, while our drain & excavation division manages any underground work the project requires. When the property layout makes gravity flow impractical, such as on flat or difficult terrain, we install pump systems to move wastewater where gravity can’t. For those applications, we use E/One Pump Systems by Environment One Corporation, a low-pressure grinder pump system designed for situations where a conventional gravity sewer line isn’t viable.

Permits & Code Compliance for Drain Installation in Indianapolis

New drain line work in Indianapolis requires a plumbing permit, and that permit must be pulled by a licensed contractor. In Marion County, plumbing permitting is administered through the Department of Business and Neighborhood Services. Because 317 Plumber is a fully licensed company, we can handle the permitting process as part of the project.

If your project involves a new-construction sewer connection, there’s an additional step: a sewer connection permit must be obtained through Citizens Energy Group before a structural permit can be issued. We’re familiar with that process and factor it into the project timeline so it doesn’t catch anyone off guard.
