The line between a dry basement and an insurance claim. A sump pump moves groundwater out of your basement before it floods the floor. A backup pump handles the storm that knocks out power right when you need it most.
Is It Right for You?
A sump pump is required equipment if you have a basement or crawl space in central Indiana, where heavy spring rain and clay soil push groundwater into homes every year. A battery or water-powered backup pump makes sense for anyone with finished space below grade, valuable storage downstairs, or a history of basement water issues. Pumps also need replacing on a schedule. Most last seven to ten years.
Why Quality Sump Equipment
Cheap big-box sump pumps fail at the worst possible time. Quality cast iron primary pumps run cooler, last longer, and handle higher volume than plastic units. Glentronics and similar trade-grade brands include controllers that monitor pump cycles, water level, and battery health, then alert you before a failure happens instead of after.
A battery backup runs on its own power for hours during an outage. Water-powered backups run as long as you have municipal water pressure, with no battery to maintain. Many homes benefit from a primary, a backup, and an alarm system together so a single point of failure doesn't take out the whole defense.
Quality manufacturers back their equipment with strong warranties so your investment is protected long after install.
Why Godby
A sump system is only as good as the install. Correct pit sizing, proper check valves, clean discharge routing, and a backup that actually engages when the primary fails are what stand between your basement and a flood. Godby's certified plumbers handle every step and inspect the system annually through Club Godby. That's what turns a good product into a great long-term investment.
Water Conditioning and Filtration
Hard water destroys appliances, leaves spots on dishes, and dries out skin and hair. Indianapolis water also carries chlorine, sediment, and other contaminants depending on the source. A whole-home softener and filter system handles both problems at the point where water enters the house.
Is It Right for You?
Water conditioning makes sense if you have white scale on faucets and showerheads, soap that won't lather, dishes that come out spotty, or appliances dying earlier than they should. Filtration makes sense if your tap water has a chlorine or earthy taste, if you want to protect plumbing fixtures and water heaters from sediment, or if anyone in the house has skin sensitivities to chlorine. Most Indiana homes benefit from both.
Why Whole-Home Treatment
Point-of-use filters at the kitchen sink only protect drinking water. A whole-home system treats every fixture, including showers, washing machines, dishwashers, and the water heater itself. That extends appliance life by years and pays back faster than most people expect.
Modern softeners use demand-initiated regeneration that only cycles when actual usage calls for it, which cuts salt and water use compared with old timer-based units. Combined softener and carbon filter systems handle hardness, chlorine, taste, and odor in one footprint. Reverse osmosis systems at the kitchen sink polish drinking water down to bottled quality without the ongoing cost of bottles.
Quality manufacturers back their equipment with strong warranties so your investment is protected long after install.
Why Godby
A water treatment system is only as good as the install and the ongoing service. Correct sizing for hardness level and household demand, proper plumbing tie-ins, and routine salt and filter changes are what keep the system performing. Godby's certified plumbers handle every step and cover service through Club Godby. That's what turns a good product into a great long-term investment.
Endless hot water without the energy bill. Navien builds high-efficiency tankless and hybrid heat pump water heaters that deliver steady performance, smaller footprints, and lower operating costs than traditional tank units. Hot water on demand. No standby loss.
Is It Right for You?
A Navien makes sense if you've outgrown your tank, run out of hot water during back-to-back showers, or want to cut the energy your water heater uses every month. Tankless models save space and only heat water when you actually need it. The Navien NWP500 hybrid heat pump model pulls warmth out of surrounding air to heat water using a fraction of the energy of a standard electric tank.
Why Navien
Navien is the high-efficiency benchmark in residential water heating. Tankless units mount on a wall, free up floor space, and deliver continuous flow at high GPM ratings, so multiple showers, dishwashers, and laundry loads can run at once. The hybrid NWP500 hits efficiency ratings that crush traditional electric tanks, runs whisper quiet, and connects to a smartphone app so you can monitor temperature, mode, and energy use from anywhere.
Sleek modern design means the unit looks intentional in a basement, garage, or utility room instead of like an afterthought. Stainless steel heat exchangers and durable construction give the equipment a long service life.
Navien backs the equipment with strong warranties so your investment is protected long after install.
Why Godby
A Navien is only as good as the install. Correct gas line sizing, proper venting, condensate routing, and electrical work are what let the unit hit its rated efficiency and last as long as it should. Godby's certified plumbers handle every step and cover annual flush service through Club Godby. That's what turns a good product into a great long-term investment.
The smoke detector for water damage. FLO by Moen monitors every drop of water flowing into your home, learns your normal usage patterns, and shuts the water off automatically when it detects a leak. One small device on the main line. Up to thousands of dollars in damage prevented.
Is It Right for You?
FLO makes sense for any homeowner, but especially for second homes, snowbirds, vacation rentals, or anyone who travels regularly. It's also the right call if you have a finished basement, hardwood floors, or any space where a slow leak could go undetected for days. Insurance companies frequently offer premium discounts for homes with smart leak detection installed.
Why FLO by Moen
FLO installs on the main water line and uses pressure, temperature, and flow sensors to map exactly how water moves through your home. After a short learning period, the device knows the difference between a normal load of laundry and a running toilet upstairs that nobody noticed. When something looks wrong, FLO sends an alert to your phone and can shut the main valve automatically.
The Health Test runs once a day to detect tiny leaks at fixtures and joints, so you find problems while they're cheap to fix. Freeze warnings flag low pipe temperatures before they burst. The Moen Smart Water app keeps everything visible and controllable from anywhere, including remote shutoff if you forget to turn the water off before a trip.
Moen backs the equipment with strong warranties so your investment is protected long after install.
Why Godby
FLO is only as good as the install. Correct placement on the main line, proper pressure setup, and a clean tie-in to home Wi-Fi are what let the device do its job. Godby's certified plumbers handle every step and help you set up alerts and rules so the system works the way you actually use water. That's what turns a good product into a great long-term investment.
Bradford White Water Heaters
The water heater the trades trust. Bradford White only sells through licensed plumbing contractors, never big-box retailers. That filter alone explains why their tanks last longer than what you find on the shelf at a hardware store.
Is It Right for You?
A Bradford White makes sense if you want a traditional tank water heater that's built to last, especially if your home isn't set up for tankless or you simply prefer the proven simplicity of a tank. Gas, electric, and heat pump models cover most household sizes and fuel types. The AeroTherm hybrid heat pump model hits high efficiency ratings on the electric side without forcing you to switch fuels.
Why Bradford White
Bradford White builds with materials and components most other manufacturers cut to hit a price point. Hydrojet sediment-reducing dip tubes keep the bottom of the tank clean so the heater isn't fighting buildup that kills efficiency and shortens lifespan. Vitraglas tank linings resist corrosion better than standard glass linings. The Defender Safety System on gas models meets the latest flammable-vapor ignition resistance standards.
Heat pump and high-efficiency models hit Energy Star ratings while still using familiar tank-style connections, so swapping a standard tank for a Bradford White heat pump model is straightforward in most homes.
Bradford White backs the equipment with strong warranties so your investment is protected long after install.
Why Godby
A Bradford White is only as good as the install. Correct sizing, proper venting, code-compliant gas connections, and clean electrical work are what let the unit deliver its full service life. Godby's certified plumbers handle every step and provide ongoing service. That's what turns a good product into a great long-term investment.
