Plumbing Problems Happen. Let’s Get It Fixed.
One minute everything’s fine. The next you’ve got a clogged drain, a busted pipe, or a mystery leak working its way through your walls. That’s where Smedley Plumbing comes in. We show up, tell you what’s wrong, and fix it — no guesswork, no hidden fees, no runaround.
Plumbing Problems? We’ve Got You Covered
Drain Cleaning & Repairs A slow or clogged drain doesn’t get better on its own. We clear it and get things flowing again.
Water Heater Services No hot water or strange noises from the tank? We install, repair, and maintain both tank and tankless water heaters.
Leak Detection and Repairs High water bill or a mystery puddle? We find the leak and fix it before it turns into a bigger repair.
Pipe Repairs & Replacement Rusted, cracked, or burst pipes get repaired or replaced with materials built to hold up.
Fixture Installation New toilet, sink, or faucet? We install it right the first time — no leaks, no wobble.
Sewer Line Services Backups and bad smells mean something’s wrong underground. We clean, repair, and replace sewer lines — and with our Simple Sewer™ method, that often means one hole in the basement, one in the yard, no trench across your yard.
Sump Pump Services Keep your basement dry with a new sump pump install or a fast repair.
Emergency Plumbing (24/7) Plumbing doesn’t wait for business hours. Call us any time, day or night.
Specialized Services – For When Plumbing Gets Weird
Trenchless Pipe Repair Underground pipe failing? We fix it with minimal digging instead of tearing up the whole yard.
Sewer Camera Inspections Instead of guessing, we run a camera through your pipes to find the exact problem.
Plumbing Smoke Testing Hidden leak or a strange smell? We push non-toxic smoke through the pipes to find it fast.
Smart Plumbing Systems Touchless faucets, leak detectors, water-saving tech — we install it.

Regular Inspections We check pipes, fixtures, and systems to catch small problems while they’re still small.
Drain Cleaning Plans Keeps your drains running clear before they clog.
Water Heater Tune-Ups Keeps your heater running like new, so you’re not caught without hot water.

How We Handle Every Plumbing Problem
A busted pipe, a clogged drain, water where it shouldn’t be — plumbing problems don’t wait, and neither do we.
Step 1: Hit Us Up
Give us a call. We listen, ask the right questions, and figure out what’s going on before we book anything. Then we set an appointment that works for you — with a tight two-hour arrival window, not some all-day guess.
Step 2: Show Up Ready to Handle It
Our trucks carry over 2,000 tools and supplies, from drain machines to sewer cameras. Quick fix or full-blown crisis, we’re ready to handle it on the spot — no coming back next week for a part.
Step 3: Fix It the Right Way—The First Time
We don’t patch and hope. Clogged drain — we clear it at the source, not just the surface. Suspect something bigger — our sewer cameras find it. We don’t leave until it’s actually fixed, so you’re not calling us again next month.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do in case of a plumbing emergency?
Stay calm. First, turn off the water supply. Then call our emergency line — we’ll get a plumber out fast and keep the damage to a minimum.
How often should I have my plumbing system checked?
Routine maintenance stops small problems from becoming big ones. We recommend a full checkup once a year — catch issues early and skip the expensive repair later.
Are your plumbing services guaranteed?
At Smedley Plumbing, most of our work is backed by a 1-year parts and labor warranty. Leak detection, drain cleaning, whatever the job — our licensed plumbers stand behind it.
How can I prevent common plumbing issues?
Regular care prevents most plumbing problems. Get a yearly checkup, fix leaks as soon as you spot them, and don’t flush anything that won’t break down. It’s cheaper than the alternative.
What makes Smedley Plumbing a reliable service provider?
We show up on time, bring the right tools, and get the job done right the first time — simple fix or complex repair.
Do you offer garbage disposal repairs and installations?
Yes. Clogged, noisy, or dead garbage disposal — we repair or replace it with a quality unit that keeps your kitchen running.
How do you handle water heater installation?
We install both tank and tankless water heaters, with upfront pricing so you know the cost before we start. We’ll help you pick the right unit for your home.
How can plumbing issues lead to water damage, and how do you prevent it?
Leaks, backups, and broken pipes cause real damage fast if you let them sit. We diagnose the problem, fix it right, and stick to a maintenance schedule that catches trouble before it turns into a bigger job.
Straight answers
How much does it cost to come out?
Our service charge is $89, and it is applied toward the work when we do the repair. You will know the full price to the penny before we start anything.
Are you available after hours?
Yes. Smedley Plumbing is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and a real person answers the phone. Call (816) 763-3539 — that spells (816) SMEDLEY.
Who actually shows up at my house?
A plumber with a minimum of 10,000 hands-on hours in the trade. That is our 10,000-Hour Guarantee, and it is the only one in the nation. Our average plumber has over 20 years of experience — you will never get a first-year apprentice with more sales training than plumbing training.
Is the work warrantied?
Yes. We provide a 1-year parts and labor warranty on most services. On top of that, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed: if you are unsatisfied for any reason, we come back at no charge and do whatever it takes to make it right.
