PCR Plumbing has been serving Evansville homeowners and businesses since 1995. Whether you need a leaking pipe patched before the day is out or a full plumbing system for a new commercial build, we handle it all with licensed plumbers on the job and transparent pricing from the start. Fast diagnosis. Honest pricing. Dry floors again.
Same-day appointments are available, and we pick up the phone when plumbing emergencies happen after hours. Call (930) 993-9795 to get a quote or schedule service.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we've seen it all, and we've been handling it for Vanderburgh County residents and businesses for more than three decades. Homeowners call us for drain cleaning, leak detection, water heater replacement, and toilet and faucet installation. Landlords and property managers count on us to turn jobs around quickly so tenants aren't left waiting. Commercial clients across Evansville bring us in for sewer line service, repiping, garbage disposal work, water pressure problems, and everything in between.
This is the kind of plumbing work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, and that reputation matters to us. We show up on time, do the work right, and leave the space clean. Give us a ring and we'll take it from there.
We built this business around plumbing work like this, the everyday jobs and the urgent ones that can't wait. Every service we offer is performed by licensed plumbers who know the work and stand behind it. Below is a look at what we handle.
Slow sink drains, backed-up shower and tub drains, clogged floor drains, and blocked main drain lines are all jobs we tackle the same day in most cases. We use drain snaking and hydro jetting to clear the line completely, not just punch a hole through the clog. We make the repair and leave it tidy.
A hidden leak inside a wall or under a slab can cause serious damage before you ever see a wet spot. We use detection equipment to locate the source, then repair the pipe with as little disruption as possible. Slab leak detection and emergency leak repair are both part of what we do.
No hot water is one of the most disruptive plumbing problems a household or business can face. We service and replace both tank and tankless water heaters, and same-day water heater service is available when the situation calls for it. Whether the unit is leaking, failing to heat, or simply at the end of its life, we'll assess it and give you a clear recommendation.
A running toilet, a leaking toilet, or a toilet that won't flush are all straightforward calls for us. We also handle dripping faucets, kitchen and bathroom faucet installation, shower and bathtub installation, and broader fixture work throughout the home or building. If it connects to the water supply, we can install or repair it.
A main line backup can shut down an entire property fast. We clear main line clogs, repair and replace sewer lines, and use trenchless methods where the situation allows to reduce disruption to your yard. Emergency sewer repair is available when you can't afford to wait. We stay focused on the line from the house to the city connection, and we handle it completely.
A broken garbage disposal, low water pressure, or a shutoff valve that won't budge are smaller jobs that still deserve a fast, clean fix. We repair and replace garbage disposals, diagnose and correct low pressure problems, and handle shutoff valve replacement, pressure reducing valve work, and backflow preventer installation. We'll get the job plumbed and finished.
Older homes in Evansville sometimes reach a point where patching individual leaks no longer makes sense. When the pipe itself is the problem, a whole-home repipe in copper or PEX is the right long-term answer. We'll walk you through the options and let you know when repiping is the smarter call over repeated repairs.
We install and repair gas lines for appliances, outdoor connections, and new construction. If you smell gas or suspect a leak in a gas pipe, call us right away. We work on the line itself and leave the appliance connections to the appropriate trade.
Evansville sits in the Ohio River basin, and that geography shapes the plumbing problems that come up most often here. Heavy seasonal rainfall, clay-heavy soils, and moderately hard municipal water all create conditions that drive specific jobs in this part of Indiana. We keep you posted from the first call until the water's flowing again, and we bring a workmanship guarantee on every plumbing job we complete.
Vanderburgh County's position in the Ohio River basin means basements here face real flooding risk, especially during the heavy spring rains that roll through every year. A working sump pump is one of the most important lines of defense a basement can have. We size and install sump pump systems correctly, test them before we leave, and can replace a failed unit the same day when water is already threatening.
Older Evansville neighborhoods carry a mature tree canopy, and those root systems find their way into aging clay sewer lines year after year. Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of slow drains and sewer backups in this part of the city. We clear root blockages, inspect the line, and repair or reline damaged sections so the problem doesn't come right back.
Municipal water in Evansville carries enough mineral hardness to leave scale buildup on fixtures, inside water heaters, and along supply lines over time. A water softener reduces that wear and extends the life of your plumbing system. We handle the full installation, from the supply connection to the drain line, and make sure the system is dialed in before we go.
Plumbing problems don't wait for business hours. A burst pipe at midnight, a sewer backup on a Sunday, or no hot water on a cold January morning all need a plumber who answers the phone and shows up. Local crew. Real plumber on the phone. Quick to respond.
We offer same-day scheduling for most service calls and emergency plumbing response when the situation is urgent. Call (930) 993-9795 any time and tell us what's happening. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we operate, and we won't leave you guessing about what comes next.
Plumbing costs vary by job, and we know that uncertainty is stressful. Before any work begins, we give you a clear quote so you know exactly what to expect. No surprise charges added at the end, and no vague estimates that balloon once we're on site.
Whether you're asking about the cost of a service call, a water heater replacement, or a full repipe, we'll give you a straight answer. We believe straightforward pricing is part of doing the job right.
Plumbing a home right takes the right tools and a licensed hand, and the same is true for a commercial space. On the residential side, we work with homeowners, landlords, and property managers across the area on everything from bathroom and kitchen remodels to new construction rough-in and plumbing inspections. On the commercial side, we handle restaurant plumbing, office plumbing repair, commercial drain cleaning, commercial water heater installation, and commercial leak detection for businesses of all sizes.
Whatever the property type, the standard is the plumbing done right the first time. We bring the same attention to a single-family home in a quiet Evansville neighborhood as we do to a multi-unit building or a busy commercial kitchen.
Evansville is our home base, and we serve customers throughout Vanderburgh County and the surrounding communities. If you're in Newburgh, Boonville, or Mount Vernon, we're a straightforward drive away. We also serve Princeton to the north, and we're familiar with the needs of customers across the river in Henderson, Kentucky. Elberfeld and other smaller communities in the area are well within our regular service territory. Call us and we'll confirm coverage for your address.
Yes, we work across residential and commercial properties throughout Evansville and Vanderburgh County. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, restaurant operators, and office building managers all call us when plumbing needs attention. The work and the standard are the same regardless of the property type.
We are available every day from 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays. If you have a plumbing problem that comes up over the weekend, call (930) 993-9795 and we will get it on the schedule. Emergency situations that cannot wait are handled outside standard hours as well.
When you call, we gather the details about what you are dealing with and give you a clear picture of what to expect before anyone drives out. We confirm the appointment window and let you know what the plumber will need access to. We keep you posted from the first call until the water's flowing again.
We do our best to work around your schedule. When you call, let us know what time windows work for you and we will find an appointment that fits. Same-day scheduling is available for many calls, and we aim to give you a realistic arrival window so you are not left waiting all day.
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises at the end. The estimate covers the repair, the materials, and the time involved based on what we know about the job going in. If something changes once we open a wall or inspect a line, we tell you before we proceed.
Several factors affect the final price: the complexity of the repair, how accessible the pipe or fixture is, the materials required, and whether the job turns out to be larger than it first appeared. We explain these factors when we give you the estimate and communicate clearly if anything changes once we are on site. There are no hidden fees added after the fact.
If the scope of the work changes based on what we find, we will tell you before we proceed with anything beyond what was originally quoted. We do not add charges after the fact without your knowledge. Clear communication is part of how we operate on every job.
Locate your water shutoff valve and turn off the supply to the fixture or, if needed, the main shutoff to the house. This stops the water from continuing to overflow while you wait for help. Then call (930) 993-9795 and we will get a plumber to you as quickly as possible.

We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing work in Evansville and Vanderburgh County, from a single dripping faucet to a whole-home repipe. Every job is performed by licensed plumbers, and we give you a clear quote before any work begins. The table below covers what we do, who each service is right for, and a few practical things worth knowing before you call.
| Plumbing Service | What the Job Covers | Recommended For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sump Pump Installation |
| basements at risk of flooding, especially in low-lying or clay-soil areas | Evansville's position in the Ohio River basin means spring rains can overwhelm a basement fast. A properly sized pump is one of the best investments a homeowner here can make. |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| older homes with repeated leaks or deteriorating original pipe material | When patching individual leaks stops making financial sense, a full repipe is the right long-term answer. We walk you through the options before any work begins. |
| Toilet Repair and Installation |
| toilets that run, leak at the base, or will not flush properly | A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a week. Most repairs are straightforward and completed in a single visit. |
| Sewer and Main Line Service |
| whole-house backups, slow drains in multiple fixtures, or sewage odors | Multiple slow drains at once usually point to the main line, not individual fixtures. We handle the line from the house out to the city connection. |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| older homes with mature trees and clay sewer lines | Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer backups in established Evansville neighborhoods. Clearing the roots alone is not enough if the line is damaged. |
| Leak Detection and Repair |
| unexplained water damage, high water bills, or wet spots with no obvious source | We use detection equipment to locate the source before opening anything, which keeps disruption to a minimum. |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| weak flow at fixtures, valves that will not close, or pressure that varies unexpectedly | Low pressure can have several causes, from a failing PRV to a partially closed main. We diagnose before recommending a fix. |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation |
| dripping faucets, fixture upgrades, or new installation during a remodel | Proper installation prevents slow drips from turning into water damage behind walls or under cabinets. |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal |
| slow or completely blocked drains in any fixture or line | Hydro jetting clears grease and buildup that snaking leaves behind, making it a better long-term fix for recurring clogs. |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| plumbing failures that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment | We answer the phone outside standard hours for situations that are urgent. Call us, describe what is happening, and we will tell you what to do while we head your way. |
| Water Softener Installation |
| homes with scale buildup on fixtures, inside water heaters, or along supply lines | Evansville municipal water carries enough mineral hardness to shorten the life of water heaters and fixtures. A softener reduces that wear over time. |
| Water Heater Repair and ReplacementMost Popular |
| no hot water, inconsistent heating, or a unit that is aging out | Most replacements can be completed the same day. Tankless units cost more upfront but use less energy and last longer than tank models. |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first thing to consider. Tank water heaters typically last 8 to 12 years, and tankless units last longer. If your unit is inside that range and the issue is a failed heating element or a faulty thermostat, repair often makes sense. If the tank is corroding, leaking from the bottom, or consistently failing to heat despite repairs, replacement is usually the better call. We assess the unit when we arrive and give you a straight recommendation before any work begins.
What is the difference between a tank and a tankless water heater?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the unit. Tankless models cost more upfront, take up less space, and tend to last longer. Tank models are less expensive to install and easier to replace in a straightforward swap. We can walk you through both options based on your household size, usage habits, and budget.
What causes drains to slow down or back up?
In individual fixtures, the usual culprits are soap scum, hair, grease, and food debris that accumulate over time inside the drain line. When multiple fixtures back up at once, the problem is typically in the main line. In older Evansville neighborhoods, tree root intrusion into aging clay sewer lines is one of the most common causes of main line blockages. We identify where the clog is before recommending a fix.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins, and we do not add charges after the fact without your knowledge. If the scope changes once we are on site, we tell you before we proceed.
How do you find a leak that is hidden inside a wall or under a slab?
We use detection equipment to locate the source of a hidden leak without opening walls or floors unnecessarily. Signs that point to a hidden leak include unexplained increases in your water bill, warm or wet spots on floors, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or visible water staining without an obvious source. Once we locate the leak, we repair the pipe with as little disruption as possible.
How can I tell if the problem is in one fixture or in the main sewer line?
If only one drain is slow or backed up, the clog is usually local to that fixture or the branch line serving it. If multiple drains throughout the house are slow or backing up at the same time, especially if flushing a toilet causes water to come up in a shower or tub, the main line is almost certainly involved. We diagnose the location of the blockage before we start clearing it.
How do tree roots damage sewer lines, and what can be done about it?
Tree roots naturally seek out moisture, and older clay sewer lines develop small cracks and joint gaps over time. Roots find those openings and grow inside the pipe, eventually causing partial or complete blockages. Clearing the roots restores flow, but if the line itself is cracked or collapsed, the roots will return unless the damaged section is repaired or relined. We inspect the line after clearing it so you know exactly what condition it is in.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job we take on is handled by licensed plumbers who know the work and stand behind it. That applies whether the call is a single faucet repair or a whole-home repipe.
What causes low water pressure, and is it something a plumber can fix?
Low pressure has several possible causes: a failing or misadjusted pressure reducing valve, a partially closed shutoff valve, mineral buildup inside supply lines, or a leak somewhere in the system that is bleeding off pressure. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix. In most cases, the repair is straightforward once the source is identified.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the affected area and, in many cases, the main shutoff or the water heater. If you are a landlord or property manager scheduling work for a tenant, let us know when you call and we will work out the access details with you. We confirm the appointment window in advance so you are not waiting around longer than necessary.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day scheduling for most service calls and emergency response for situations that cannot wait. We answer the phone seven days a week, including weekends and after hours.
Will I know the cost before work begins?
Yes. We give you a clear estimate before any work starts so there are no surprises at the end. The estimate covers the repair, the materials, and the time involved based on what we know about the job going in. If we open a wall or inspect a line and find something that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed with anything beyond what was originally quoted.
Is same-day or emergency plumbing service available?
Same-day scheduling is available for most service calls. For situations that cannot wait, such as a burst pipe, a major leak, or a sewer backup, we are available outside standard hours. Call us, describe what is happening, and we will get someone to you as quickly as possible. We are available seven days a week, including weekends.
When does it make sense to repipe rather than keep patching leaks?
When the same sections of pipe are failing repeatedly, when you are dealing with widespread corrosion or pinhole leaks throughout the system, or when original pipe material has simply reached the end of its reliable life, repiping is usually the smarter long-term investment. We assess the system and give you an honest read on whether continued repairs or a full repipe makes more financial sense for your situation.
Call (930) 993-9795 and tell us what you are dealing with. We will give you a straight answer and get the job on the schedule.
