Common Greenwood Plumbing Service Calls
Leaking or dripping faucet
You notice: a dripping spout, a stiff handle, weak flow or a pull-down hose leaking into the cabinet. We do: check that both shut-offs close, then replace the cartridge or swap the faucet, with new braided supply lines where the old ones are worn.
Running toilet
You notice: a tank that refills on its own, a constant hiss, a handle you have to jiggle, or a toilet that rocks or leaks at the base. We do: replace the flapper, fill valve, flush valve or chain, or reset the toilet on a new wax ring and closet bolts, then test-flush it several times.
Dead garbage disposal
You notice: it hums but will not spin, keeps tripping its reset button or drips from the housing. We do: clear the jam and reset it first. A unit leaking from its body gets a like-for-like InSinkErator or Waste King replacement, tested with a full sink.
Dripping shut-off valve or supply line
Old multi-turn stops often seize or start weeping once they are turned. Where the pipe is exposed, we replace them with quarter-turn valves and new braided supply lines, priced before the work.
Leak under the sink or in the basement
Water in the sink cabinet usually traces to a P-trap slip nut, a failed supply line or a compression fitting. In an unfinished basement we also fix exposed joints we can reach. A brown ring on the ceiling under an upstairs bath means the source gets fixed first: if it is something we can reach, such as a toilet wax ring or failed caulk around a tub or shower, we fix it, then do the ceiling repair.
Slow drains, shower cartridges and sump pumps
We clear slow sink and tub drains at the trap, replace shower valve cartridges through the trim plate without opening the wall, and swap a failed sump pump like-for-like in the existing pit.

Outdoor Faucet Repair Before a Greenwood Freeze
Many older ranches and Cape Cods around Greenwood still have their original short-body spigots. Newer homes mostly have frost-free sillcocks, which only protect you when the barrel length matches the wall and the hose comes off for winter. With the first hard freeze averaging around November 5, fall is the time to replace a spigot or stop a packing-nut drip. See outdoor faucet and hose bib replacement and the winterization and freeze prep checklist.
Why Greenwood Calls Us for Plumbing Repairs
- In and out. A service call is built around your problem: we find it, fix it, test it and get out of your way. Most small repairs are done in one visit.
- The shop is in town. NHS is based in Greenwood, so most addresses here are a short drive. That makes small repairs easier to schedule; it is not a promised arrival time.
- Nicholas is on every job. The person who prices the repair is the person who does it.
- Two generations of houses. The 1960s to 1980s ranches around Smith Valley and Cherry Tree can still have original multi-turn shut-offs and short-body spigots. In mid-1990s-and-newer homes in Stones Crossing, Saddle Club, Hunter's Crossing and the Center Grove corridor, the usual wear parts are original faucet cartridges, fill valves and disposals.
What an NHS Plumbing Service Call Includes
- Call or send photos. Call (317) 893-3717, text a photo of the fixture and the shut-off valves under it, or use the online estimate form.
- A price before work starts. If photos are not enough, we look first.
- The repair, then a leak check with the water back on.
- Invoice and guarantee. If a repair fails because of how we did it, we come back and fix it with no charge for our return labor. The term is on your estimate and invoice, and manufacturer warranties are separate. See the workmanship warranty.

How much does plumbing repair cost in Greenwood?
Most service calls are priced by the repair. Toilet repair runs $150–$225 plus parts; a faucet swap $150–$260 labor plus the faucet; garbage disposal replacement $150–$290 labor plus the disposal; leak repair on pipe and fittings you can reach $150–$315; and a sump pump swap $375–$545 labor plus the pump. The $150 minimum applies to small jobs, and materials are additional. You get the price before work starts. Water heater pricing is on the water heater replacement page.
How soon can you come out for a plumbing repair in Greenwood?
Call or text (317) 893-3717 and we set up the service call with you; we don't promise a set arrival time. The shop is in Greenwood, so most addresses are a short drive, which makes small repairs easier to fit in. Hours are Monday to Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 2 PM.
Do most plumbing repairs take one visit?
Most small repairs do: a flapper or fill valve, a faucet cartridge, a supply line or a disposal swap. A repair that needs a special-order part, such as a cartridge for an older faucet, can take a second trip, and we tell you that up front.
What plumbing repairs do you handle in Greenwood?
Repairs on existing fixtures and connections you can see and reach: faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, shut-off valves and supply lines, P-traps and accessible leaks, slow sink and tub drains, shower valve cartridges, outdoor faucets and like-for-like sump pump swaps. Service calls cover existing fixtures; moving drains or adding new lines is part of our bathroom and kitchen remodel work. We don't repipe or do sewer, main line or slab work, and we don't run or modify gas lines.
Can you fix a running toilet in Greenwood?
Usually. A toilet that refills on its own or keeps hissing almost always needs a new flapper, fill valve, flush valve or chain. One that rocks or leaks at the base gets reset on a new wax ring and closet bolts. Toilet repair runs $150–$225 plus parts.
Should I replace my outdoor faucet before winter?
If it is an old short-body spigot, yes. The National Weather Service office in Indianapolis puts the first hard freeze around November 5. A frost-free sillcock only protects you if its barrel fits the wall and the hose is disconnected for winter.
Do you handle plumbing emergencies in Greenwood?
We don't run an unscheduled emergency service. If water is running, close the valve under the fixture or the main shut-off, then call or text (317) 893-3717. Work outside Mon–Fri business hours and Saturday 9–2, including Sundays, is by advance arrangement at a $225 minimum.
Which Greenwood neighborhoods do you serve?
All of Greenwood, from Stones Crossing and Hunter's Crossing to Cherry Tree, Olive Branch and the Center Grove corridor, plus businesses along US-31 and the Greenwood Park Mall corridor. We also work in nearby Whiteland and New Whiteland, about 10 to 15 minutes from the shop.
