Why our shop is in McCordsville
McCordsville's growth pattern is the short answer. About 1,100 residents at the 2000 census. North of 11,000 today. Pacing toward 20,000 by the early 2030s. Inside the historic core, the municipal sewer footprint expands steadily — McCord Square, the 48-acre mixed-use district at Broadway and Mt. Comfort Road, brought 205 apartment units and ground-floor commercial onto sewer in phase one.
What that leaves is the rest of Vernon Township. Older lots pre-dating the sewer extensions. Residential rings reaching east toward Geist Reservoir. Country properties off CR 600W. Rural acreage along Mt. Comfort Road south of town. All private septic. Our shop puts us within 15 minutes of every one of those addresses, plus the Geist-adjacent neighborhoods on the Hamilton County line.
Services and permits
Pumping every 3 to 5 years for most tanks. Plus riser and lid replacement, real estate inspections, baffle and pump repairs, drain field assessments, camera scoping, and full tank or field replacements. Full menu on the services page; prices on the pricing page.
Septic permits in McCordsville route through Hancock County at 111 American Legion Place in Greenfield, (317) 477-1127. One piece that catches McCordsville homeowners off guard: the septic permit must be issued before the building permit. We walk the paperwork through so the permit lands in your hands without the back-and-forth.
Knowing when to call
Slow drains, gurgling toilets, sewer smell in the basement, soggy patches over the drain field, and the lowest fixture backing up first are the standard signs. The full diagnostic walkthrough is on our Hancock County septic guide. For neighbors on similar systems, see Greenfield and Mt. Comfort.
