Comprehensive Plumbing Solutions in Kansas City

Plumbing in Kansas City, MO, faces challenges specific to local climate conditions. Heavy rainfall and groundwater seepage can cause basements to flood while shifting soil can cause sewer lines to crack, sag, or collapse. Older homes in Kansas City may have lead or galvanized steel service lines, which corrode and reduce water quality. Roto-Rooter plumbers tailor their services to meet and resolve local plumbing issues.

We offer a wide range of plumbing services, including: 

Commercial Plumbing Services 

Roto-Rooter understands that a commercial plumbing issue can shut down your business, forcing you to turn away customers and reducing productivity.

If you notice any of these warning signs, give us a call:

  • Reduced Hot Water Supply: May indicate sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.

  • Strange Noises: Suggest sediment buildup, a faulty heating element, or a leak.

  • Discolored Hot Water: Rust or contaminants could be affecting your water.

Water Softener and Filtration

Kansas City has moderately hard water. Minerals in hard water accumulate in water pipes and appliances, reducing water flow and causing damage. Hard water used for bathing dries skin and leaves hair looking limp. Roto-Rooter installs and services water softeners, which alleviate the damaging qualities of hard water. 

Types of water softeners

  • Salt-based water softeners

  • Salt-free water softeners

  • Dual-tank water softeners

  • Magnetic water softeners

  • Reverse osmosis water softeners

  • Shower head water softeners

Kansas City’s water supply comes from the Missouri River and the Missouri River aquifer. Local water meets state and federal safety standards but may still contain trace amounts of disinfection byproducts, barium, lithium, and carcinogenic PFAS or forever chemicals. A water filtration system helps ensure your home or business's best possible water quality. 

Types of filtration systems

  • Activated carbon

  • Ion exchange

  • Reverse osmosis

  • Mechanical

  • Ultraviolet

I called Roto Rooter because my kitchen sink drain was clogged I said that I would like to have someone out as soon as possible. Within 30 minutes I ... received a call that some was on their way. The man that came out looked over the situation with the kitchen drain and within 30 to 40 minutes he had the drain unclogged. He did not have any problems. I would recomend Rotor Rooter to anyone. This is not the first time that I used Roto Rooter to come to my house for a drain problem and this will not be the last.

We discovered a puddle of water on our basement floor due to a leaking sump pump (on the Sunday morning of a holiday weekend). We submitted an on-line Roto-Rooter ... appointment request and a plumber arrived within 30 minutes (to our great relief). Chris L. (tech #0368) completed the replacement of the damaged check valve. He performed the work in a professional and personable way. He made an unpleasant incident pleasant. Will will call Roto-Rooter for any future plumbing issues, and definitely recommend them to our friends, neighbors, and family. Great job, great employee, great company.

I called Roto-Rooter to unclog a bathroom sink. Within 30 minutes I received a follow-up call and within an hour Mark, the technician, arrived. After attempting to unclog ... the sink I was told that he may not be able to get through the pipe because of possible rust build-up. Because of the age of the pipes I could be facing a serious plumbing job. Instead of giving up; Mark called for advice, came back in and worked for at least another hour until he was able to force through, unclog and clean the pipes. This was customer service at it's best.

Our experience with the Restoration was excellent! Tim Berry, Restoration Mgr., was there to assist us immediately. He assisted in reporting the claim to the insurance company. Tim ... reassured on what the job entailed and how Roto-Rooter would handle everything. Anthony, Employee 408, was invaluable in his work as head of the cleaning crew. He was very courteous, informed us constantly of what was happening, was very conscientious and competent in handling the job. He always called when coming, and showed up when he said that he would. He is an invaluable employee!

I had another plumber to put in pvc pipes in my basement. He did good, but it took him 6 months. On the last approximately foot of ... the galvanized pipe he connected the plastic pvc pipe to the galvanized pipe, He left before he checked to see if the pipe would hold. When I turned on the water after an hour like he said it shot water everywhere. I called him and he said that he would be back in about 3 hours. After 3 hours he did not come back. He did not call and I tried to get him by phone for 4 days. He did not answer the phone. So on the 4th day I called Rotorooter. Allan Schellenger number 1512 came out. He came and looked at the problem My problem was the galvanized pipes that were there had huge mineral deposits in them and were clogged up. The one plumber had replaced the pipes but had taken 6 months to do it. Allan came in and saw the problem spot where the other plumber had connected galvanized pipe to plastic pipe. The old galvanized coupling must have had a crack in it as it was leaking from that crack. I was shocked when Mr. Allan Schellenger connected the pipes in only about 10 minutes. He finished what the other plumber had not done. It was fast and it is still holding. I give roto rooter all the stars available, as this man did the correct thing so that I could have running water again. He also told me that he could have done the job in 4 hours and not 4 to 6 months. I will use rotorooter again, They did the job. # 1512.
