Water Heater Replacement, Installation And Repair, Tank And Tankless

Water heater replacement in Kansas City, and repair when a repair makes sense. Any hot water heater, gas or electric, tank or tankless.

Signs you need it

  • Lukewarm showers, or hot water that runs out fast
  • Rumbling from the tank, or a pilot that keeps going out
  • Rusty hot water, or water pooling under the tank

What we do

Under about eight years old with one failed part, we repair it. Past ten to twelve years with rust or a leaking tank, we replace it, sized for the house and vented to code, and haul the old one away. For tankless water heater installation we size the gas line for the new unit.

Sewer Line Repair, Camera Inspection And Replacement

Sewer line repair in Kansas City for the line that carries everything from the house to the main in the street. Many older homes here still have clay tile or cast iron sewer lines, and roots find the joints.

Signs you need it

  • Every drain in the house slow at the same time
  • Water coming up through the basement floor drain
  • Gurgling toilets or a sewer smell

What we do

We start with a sewer camera inspection, so you see the problem before you see a price. One failed section gets a spot repair. Collapsed clay, offset joints or roots through the joints mean a replacement, with the permit pulled where the city requires one. Home buyers in older Kansas City neighborhoods book a sewer line inspection before closing.

Stack Repair, Replacement And Leak Repair

The plumbing stack is the drain stack and vent stack every fixture in the house ties into. In Kansas City houses built before 1970 it is usually cast iron, which cracks and rusts through with age.

Signs you need it

  • A water stain on the ceiling or wall below a bathroom
  • A sewer smell inside the house
  • Rust streaks or a crack on the big pipe in the basement

What we do

We find where the leak starts and fix it at its source. When a repair will not hold, we do a cast iron stack replacement.

Battery Backup Sump Pumps

Battery backup sump pump installation in Kansas City, because the storm that floods the basement is the one that takes the power out. The backup keeps the pit pumping until the power comes back.

Signs you need it

  • A finished basement you cannot afford to have flood
  • No backup when the power goes out
  • An old pump that hums, runs nonstop or does not start

What we do

Sump pump installation and replacement when the old pump is due, with a battery backup added so the basement stays dry in an outage.

Gas Line Installation, Repair, Generator Hookups And Pressure Tests

Gas line installation in Kansas City for ranges, dryers, water heaters, fireplaces, grills and a gas line for a standby generator. Smell gas? Leave the house and call your gas utility from outside, then call us for the gas leak and the gas line repair.

Signs you need it

  • A new range, dryer or grill where there is no gas line
  • A standby generator waiting on its generator hookup
  • The gas company asking for a pressure test before it turns the gas back on

What we do

We size and run the line, pull the permit where required and do the gas pressure test the utility asks for on new or changed piping, so the gas can go on.

Water Service Lines

The water service line runs from the street to the house, and that line is the homeowner's to fix. Old galvanized and copper lines in this area fail from the outside in.

Signs you need it

  • A wet spot in the yard that never dries
  • Low water pressure through the whole house
  • A water bill that jumps with no leak inside

What we do

Main water line repair for a single leak, or water service line replacement when the line is done. We plan the shutoff so you are without water for hours, not days.

Faucets, Toilets And Fixtures

Faucets, toilets, sinks, vanities and outdoor spigots: repairs, replacements and new installs.

Signs you need it

  • A faucet that drips or a toilet that keeps running
  • An outdoor spigot that split over the winter
  • A new vanity or fixture ready to go in

What we do

We install what you bought or supply it, and replace split spigots with frost-proof ones. Small jobs get a written price the same way big ones do.

Whole House Repiping

Whole home repiping replaces the old supply lines through the house, usually galvanized, with PEX or copper.

Signs you need it

  • Water pressure down to a trickle
  • Rusty water first thing in the morning
  • The third pinhole leak in a year

What we do

One repipe instead of patch after patch. We walk the house, count the fixtures and put the whole job in writing, with the schedule and the hours the water will be off. We keep the wall openings small.

Basement Bathrooms, Sump And Ejector Pumps

A bathroom or laundry below the sewer line needs an ejector pump to lift the waste up to the main.

Signs you need it

  • A basement finish that adds a bathroom, bar sink or laundry
  • An ejector pump that has quit or will not shut off

What we do

Basement bathroom rough-in laid out with you, sewage ejector pump installation, and ejector pump replacement when the old one quits, plus the sump pump in the same basement. The pump, the pit and the plumbing come as one written price.

Frozen And Burst Pipes

Pipes on outside walls, pipes in unheated crawlspaces and spigots left connected to a hose freeze and split when Kansas City drops below zero. The damage shows when it thaws. If water is running, shut off the main first, then call.

Signs you need it

  • No water from a faucet on a very cold morning
  • Water running inside a wall or ceiling after a thaw
  • A split pipe or spigot

What we do

Frozen pipe repair and burst pipe repair. We check the rest of the run for the next weak spot and show you what to insulate before the next cold snap.

Remodel Plumbing

Bathroom remodel plumbing and kitchen remodel plumbing: moving the sink, shower, range or water heater to where the new layout puts it.

Signs you need it

  • A remodel that changes the layout
  • Fixtures going where there was no plumbing before

What we do

We work with your contractor or with you. The rough-in behind the walls comes first, the fixtures are set once the tile and counters are in, and the rough-in and the finish are priced as two stages. We pull the permit where the city requires one.

Water Treatment, Filters And Softeners

Water softener installation and whole house filters for the hard water across the Kansas City metro.

Signs you need it

  • White scale on faucets, shower glass and fixtures
  • Spots on dishes, and soap that will not lather

What we do

We install the softener or filter where the water comes into the house.

Appliance Hookups

Water and gas hookups for dishwashers, washers, dryers and ranges.

Signs you need it

  • A new appliance going where there is no line
  • A laundry moving to a different room

What we do

We run the water or gas line to the spot and hook the appliance up.
