When’s the last time you checked your drains?

If your answer is, “I can’t remember,” it’s probably time to call in the plumbing pros.

These are the key signs your home may need professional drain clearing or sewer repair, according to the experts at Peterman Brothers:

  • Sinks that drain slowly
  • Sudden bill increases
  • Bad odors
  • Frequent clogs in toilets, sinks, and tubs
  • Noisy pipes (gurgling, sputting, and bubbling, oh my)

Contact Peterman Brothers to have your home assessed for these telltale signs before they turn into a costly emergency.

News Notes

Traffic

Scheduled repairs to a railroad bridge over I-65 are taking longer than expected; as a result, I-65 southbound will be reduced to one lane from the North Split to Fletcher Avenue through the end of the week. And beware of a potential full one-hour stoppage. (WTHR)

Concert

If you’re a simple kind of man or woman, you’ll be excited to hear that Lynyrd Skynyrd is playing at Ruoff Music Center on Aug. 7 — along with equally legendary co-headliner Foreigner. Tickets go on sale Friday, Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. (WTHR)

Cause

The Lisa Muegge Feast of Plenty expects to serve 5,500+ meals across 10 central Indiana counties this Thanksgiving — and the org needs more volunteers and donations to make that happen. Learn more. (WTHR)

Award

Congratulations to Avon High School, who bested 100+ other schools to win the Bands of America Grand National Championship this past weekend. They’ve got the beat. (WTHR)

History

It’s the end of an era — the United States Mint recently pressed its final penny in Philadelphia. Did you know? In 1903, you could score a copy of The Indianapolis Star for just one cent. Not bad, but our newsletter is totally free. (Associated Press)

Sports

Next up for the Colts: The Kansas City Chiefs. Whether you’re here for the action on the field or just the potential Taylor Swift sighting, you can get a preview of the game with Locked On.

Finance

Investing in exotic and classic vehicles delivers results — a Lamborghini Countach sale just generated a 14% net return for MCQ Markets investors. Diversify for $20 a share.*

Seasonal

Holiday plans piling up? We get it — take one thing off your plate with private dining at Grindstone Public House. Set inside a thoughtfully restored historic building (think: original tin ceilings and amber lighting), this local spot has options for every group size. Learn more and secure your date.*
