Poor John's Plumbing has been serving Olathe homeowners for 35+ years. Licensed in KS, flat-rate pricing, and honest work you can count on.
Olathe is one of the fastest growing cities in the Kansas City metro and we're fully licensed and active throughout the city. We serve all Olathe neighborhoods including Prairie Center, Cedar Creek, and areas near College Boulevard.
Olathe is one of the most rapidly developing cities in the Kansas City metro, with major residential growth in its western and southern sections. The city has a wide housing age range — established neighborhoods near downtown Olathe and Old Town contain homes from the 1950s-1970s with aging plumbing, while the newer development corridors off K-7 and 151st Street feature homes built in the 2000s-2020s. New construction plumbing is generally PVC and copper, but even newer homes develop issues at the 10-15 year mark as fixtures, water heaters, and connections age.
Olathe sits on the same clay-heavy soil profile as much of Johnson County, which creates ground movement that can affect buried water service lines and sewer laterals over time. Tree root intrusion is also common in established Olathe neighborhoods where mature landscaping has had decades to grow toward moisture sources underground.
