FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

Testimonials

5/5
Hands down, Poor John’s Plumbing is the best service experience I’ve had. These guys are a great value. Far less expensive than the big service companies, and most importantly absolutely honest with no sales pitch for unnecessary work or warranties. Communication via text the night before and then they were there as expected…

5/5
I highly recommend this company. I have been dealing with drain issues for years because another plumbing quoted me thousands of dollars to fix the problem while speaking to me like I was dumb. So, I put off fixing the issue because I didn’t want to deal with another plumber. When I called for an appointment at Poor John’s, the lady who answered the phone was so helpful and nice…

5/5
This is an awesome company, both with customer service and work ethic. I had an issue with a bathtub clog and they worked diligently and perseverance to resolve the problem. After much patience and problem-solving, the technician (plumber) was able to get it resolved after a two hour battle!

Your Trusted Kansas City Plumbing Professionals!

Poor John's Plumbing Kansas CityMany people believe Thomas Crapper (that’s where the word crap comes from, not really a bad word after all) is the man responsible for inventing the modern day flush toilet. Turns out, this is false. That honor goes to the late John Harington (where the toilet’s name John came from).

Another honor was bestowed upon John in 1988, as he became our namesake, hence Poor John’s Plumbing. We’ve been family owned and operated for over 20 years. As one might expect from a name like Poor John’s, we keep our rates reasonable. We even post them online, making price assessment fast and convenient.

So if you are a “poor Sue” or “poor Tom” then Poor John’s Plumbing is the one for you. For Drips That Don’t and Drains that Do!!

Unlike our competitors, Poor Johns provides our flat-rate pricing up front. As always at Poor John’s Plumbing, there is No Service Charge!

My whole experience from estimate phase to the finished product has been great. Jacob and Rowdy have been awesome to work with. Rowdy does quality work.

Would recommend to my family and friends.
