Smedley Plumbing is family-owned, and that’s not just a line on our site. We’ve built our name in Lee’s Summit one job at a time, and every plumber we send has logged 10,000+ hours on the tools — most have put in 20 years in the trade.
We don’t run “call today or lose the deal” specials. We give you a fair rate and tell you straight what’s wrong and what it’ll take to fix it right. Put our Lee’s Summit plumbers to work on whatever’s giving you trouble — call Smedley.
Supporting a local business matters to people here, and we don’t take that for granted. We’ve picked up 700+ five-star Google reviews the same way we picked up every customer before that — by showing up, doing the work right, and treating your house like it’s not just a job site.
Water Heaters
No hot water is never a good morning. We repair, install, and replace water heaters — tank or tankless — and we’ll tell you straight which one actually makes sense for your house before we touch a wrench.
When you call Smedley for a water heater problem, you get a plumber who knows the difference between a quick fix and a unit that’s done for good. We won’t sell you a new one if yours can still be fixed right.
Clogged Drains
Standing in ankle-deep shower water or watching a sink refuse to drain isn’t just annoying — it’s usually a sign of something further down the line. Our licensed plumbers clear the clog and check what caused it, so you’re not fighting the same drain again next month.
Cleared drains, cleared sewer lines, no runaround. That’s the job.
10,000-Hour GuaranteeEvery plumber we send has at least 10,000 hours on the tools. If it isn't fixed right, we come back at no charge.
Sump Pumps
The sound of water pooling in the basement is the kind of thing that ruins a day fast. A sump pump that’s still working is what keeps it from happening. We repair, install, and replace sump pumps, and we check the battery backup too, so a power outage during a storm doesn’t undo the work the pump was supposed to do.
Faucets & Toilets
A leaky faucet or a toilet that won’t stop running wastes water and patience in equal measure. We install and repair both, and we don’t call the job done until they’re working the way they’re supposed to.
Gas Pipes
Installing a new water heater, range, or fireplace means running a gas line to feed it. We install gas lines throughout the house — kitchens included — and we do it to code.
Leaking Pipes
A leak behind a wall or under a slab doesn’t stay small. It shows up on your water bill first, then in your walls or your foundation if it sits long enough. We find it, keep the damage to your property to a minimum, and fix it — not patch it — so it doesn’t come back in six months.
Garbage Disposals
A garbage disposal that’s jammed or dead turns kitchen cleanup into a chore. We recommend, install, and repair disposals with parts that actually hold up, so it’s not something you’re dealing with again next year.
Every plumber Smedley sends is a master plumber who treats you like part of the customer family, not just a name on a work order. That’s a minimum of 10,000 hours on the tools — more than a handyman brings — and that experience shows up on every call.
We don’t do HVAC or electrical work, but for plumbing — repairs, installations, whatever you need — Smedley’s got Lee’s Summit covered, along with Blue Springs, Grandview, Harrisonville, Lenexa, Merriam, Olathe, Overland Park, and Shawnee.
Most of our work carries a 1-year parts and labor warranty, so if something’s not right after the truck pulls away, we come back and make it right — no arguing about it.
