A Kansas City Plumber who Displays Prices.

Check this out…

How Old is Your Water Heater?

If you have been “whistling past the graveyard” with your water heater you probably should pay some attention to replacing it.  Have you had it for more than a decade?  If so, it may be past its expiration date and you may be headed for a flooded basement or garage.  Problems with water heaters often happen without warning.  If you notice ANY leaking whatsoever coming from your water heater it will only get worse.

Even if your water heater is less than a decade old, a few maintenance repairs may be necessary at this time.  If your heater won't stay lit, or leaks water continuously it is time to at the very least have your water heater accessed by a professional.  You may find that repairs, rather than replacement, is an option.  Wouldn’t that be nice?

For decades people in the Kansas City area have trusted Poor John’s Plumbing for all of their residential and commercial water heater needs.  They have a cute name and a serious reputation when it comes to plumbing repair of any kind in the KC metro.  Check out their website for the phone number that applies to your area at www.poorjohns.com.

How to Install a Toilet Handle.

Some plumbing problems can be handled by you…yes you Mr. or Ms. DIY!  There is one in particular that may be within your reach.  If you have had problems with a running toilet you may need a new handle or flapper.  The most important first step is to make sure that if you go to a plumbing supply store and get the proper parts that you are TRULY able to complete the task without creating a disaster.

Remove the lid from the top of the tank.  Then disconnect the flapper chain from the handle.  Inside you will almost certainly see a plastic nut.  Loosen that next.  Then thread the new handle through the hole in the tank.  Reattach the nut and give it an extra turn with a wrench to make sure it is tight.  And finally, give it a test.

Again, if you are able to do this yourself successfully then more power to you.  But when you need plumbing repair expertise you need to trust the professionals at Poor Johns Plumbing.  Poor Johns has been serving the plumbing needs of the entire Kansas City area for decades.  We are standing by 24/7 to fix or install your plumbing.  Please visit our website for the phone number that applies to your area at www.poorjohns.com.

Year-Round Kansas City Plumbing Maintenance Tips.

Before the services of a professional plumber are required there are several maintenance procedures that you may follow.  For instance, test all of your valves annually, especially the main shut off for the house and the water heater shutoff.  Put ice in your garbage disposal to break up loose food particles and eliminate odor. 

This particular tip may be especially important for some of you.  If you own an unoccupied property in the Kansas City area you may need to winterize it.  Remember, if you leave your water distribution charged with water in freezing temperatures you have a prescription for disaster.  Unless you plan on keeping that property heated all winter you need to shut the water off at the main line.

When plumbing problems occur anywhere in the Kansas City area at any time of the year we will be there to fix them quickly and economically.  We are Poor Johns Plumbing.  At Poor Johns we put our prices right on our website because we know we can do the job better and cheaper.  Visit our website today to find the phone number that applies to your area at www.poorjohns.com.

Looking for the Right Plumber 2016.

The word plumbing comes from the Greek word for lead which is what all of the ancient Greeks used for their plumbing infrastructure.  I know, you could have lived without that information.  One thing you can’t live without is properly working plumbing.  We take a flush of a toilet, a garbage disposal that makes old food disappear, and a shower that regulates hot and cold for granted.

Man oh man when things like that and other plumbing parts go haywire our lives are turned upside down.  Please don’t tell me you are an amateur plumber.  That is like saying you’re an amateur lawyer, or amateur doctor.  Plumbing repair is a highly specialized skill and you need to trust your plumber to do the job right and at a fair price every time.

Poor John’s Plumbing serving the greater Kansas City area puts its prices right on its website.  How many plumbers in the KC area do that?  For decades Poor John’s has understood they are not the only game in town…the best maybe, but not the only.  Call Poor John’s Plumbing anytime you have a plumbing repair that needs to be done right the first time on YOUR budget.  Visit www.poorjohns.com for all of their area phone numbers.
