Established1989Family ownedOver 36 years
Northwest Indiana's plumbing and sewer contractor since 1989.
Area Plumbing & Sewer Co, Inc has been a family-owned business since it opened, working out of the same shop at 7219 White Oak Ave in Hammond for over 36 years. Fast, friendly service and pressure-free sales suggestions are the whole pitch. We suggest the work that's needed without the pressure of sales tactics, and let the estimate speak for itself.

Deep roots in Hammond, a reach that runs to the state line.
The shop has sat at 7219 White Oak Ave the whole time. The sign on the wall carries licence numbers for both Indiana and Illinois, and the older trucks in the yard still wear numbers for towns further out than the office lists today, a wider footprint built up over decades that reaches to the Illinois state line. The current service area is Hammond, Munster, Hobart and Valparaiso, plus the rest of Lake and Porter County, but the history behind that sign goes further.
How we work
An estimate, not a sales pitch.
Every visit starts with a free on-site estimate and a plain answer about what's actually needed. We suggest additional work without the pressure of sales tactics, so the decision stays yours. That's been the approach since 1989, and it's why customers still call the same company twenty years later.
Where most of the work is
Commercial Plumbing
Water mains, apartment complexes and property groups, treated as a whole-property job from the first call.
Residential Plumbing
The tap that won't stop, the toilet that won't fill, the leak that finally shows itself.
Commercial Sewer Repairs
Larger-diameter lines and grease traps, camera-inspected before anyone decides how to fix them.
Residential Sewer Repairs
The line under the yard, repaired, restored or replaced without guessing at what's down there.
Water Main Break Repairs
Found and fixed whether it's under a lawn, a drive or a shared line serving more than one address.
Water Heater Repairs and Replacements
Tank or tankless, every make and model, repaired where that's honest and replaced where it isn't.

Licensed, bonded and insured. INL#CP89200194 (Indiana), IL#PL15359 (Illinois). Railroad Safe and OSHA 30 certified. Also a Better Business Bureau member.

Owned outrightTrucks, jetter, excavator
The equipment that shows up is ours.
No rented gear and no subcontracted crew. The trucks in the yard, the jetter and the excavating equipment all belong to the company, which is why a 24 hour emergency call gets a real answer instead of a booking for whenever a rental turns up.
