On the Ground in Broad Ripple

What we actually see in Broad Ripple homes.

Broad Ripple is one of the oldest village neighborhoods on the Northside, built up in the 1910s and 20s along the Monon and the Central Canal. The 1920s bungalows and cottages that give it its charm also hide a century of plumbing behind their plaster — and we’ve been into most of it.

These homes were plumbed in galvanized steel and drained through cast iron, and after a hundred years both are usually due. Tight lots and original walls mean replacements have to be done carefully and cleanly; we route new copper or PEX with as little demolition as the house will allow.

Proximity to the White River and the canal means some Broad Ripple basements take on water, so sump pumps and proper drainage are a recurring theme. The mature trees lining the old streets send roots straight into clay sewer laterals — a backed-up main is a classic Broad Ripple call, especially after a wet spring.

Flood readiness

Flood prevention and sump-pump help in Broad Ripple.

Near the White River and canal, a wet basement can start with more than one problem. We can look at the sump system, the discharge route, and the sewer lateral together so a heavy-rain plan fits the house instead of treating one symptom.

That can mean sump-pump testing before storm season, replacing an aging pump, discussing a backup system, or evaluating whether a sewer backup or backwater valve concern needs attention. The goal is practical drainage and flood-prevention work for the way older Broad Ripple homes are built.
