When your pipes start leaking, bursting, or corroding, you don’t have time to waste. A small leak can quickly turn into a major water damage problem, driving up your water bill and putting your home at risk. That’s where Smedley Plumbing comes in.
With over 20 years of experience and a team of licensed plumbers with 10,000+ hours of hands-on training, we provide fast, reliable, and long-lasting pipe repair services for homeowners and businesses across Kansas City, MO. Whether it’s a hidden leak, a burst pipe, or aging plumbing that needs an upgrade, we’ve got you covered

Kansas City’s water has minerals that build up inside pipes over time. This can lead to corrosion, blockages, and even pipe failure. Our team at Smedley Plumbing knows how to treat and prevent these problems, keeping your plumbing strong for years to come.

Kansas City gets scorching summers and freezing winters. That temperature swing can stress older pipes, making them crack, leak, or even burst. And if the pipes weren’t installed right in the first place? The damage happens even faster. We focus on regular checkups and maintenance to catch problems early before they turn into expensive repairs.

Pipes that aren’t installed correctly might not leak right away, but over time, the problems start stacking up—low water pressure, leaks, even full system failures. Our pros install pipes built to handle Kansas City’s unique conditions, so you don’t end up dealing with costly repairs later.
Some plumbing problems are easy to spot. Others stay hidden until they’ve already caused damage. Watch for these warning signs:
Unexplained High Water Bills – A hidden leak could be draining your wallet.
Low Water Pressure – Could mean corroded pipes, blockages, or hidden leaks.
Rusty or Discolored Water – Your pipes might be corroding from the inside out.
Water Stains on Walls or Ceilings – A clear sign of a hidden leak.
Rattling or Banging Noises in Pipes – This could mean loose pipes or water pressure issues.
Standing Water or Mold Growth – If moisture keeps showing up, there’s probably a leak behind the walls.
If you’re noticing any of these warning signs, don’t wait—get your pipes checked before a minor issue turns into a full-blown plumbing emergency.
Leak Detection & Repair
A hidden leak is more than just a drip—it’s a money drain that can wreck your walls, floors, and foundation if left alone. That’s why we don’t just guess where the problem is. We use advanced tools to track down leaks without tearing up your home.
✔ Acoustic listening devices help us hear water moving behind walls.
✔ Infrared cameras pick up moisture where it shouldn’t be.
✔ Pressure testing lets us catch tiny leaks before they turn into big repairs.
Leaks don’t fix themselves. We find them fast and get them patched up before they cause real damage.
Broken & Burst Pipe Repair
A burst pipe can turn into a disaster in minutes. Water spreads fast, soaking floors, walls, and everything in between. If you’ve got a busted pipe, don’t wait—we’re available 24/7 to stop leaks and limit damage.
✔ We shut off water and remove standing water to stop further damage.
✔ We repair or replace broken pipes fast so you can get back to normal.

✔ Copper piping – Lasts for decades and keeps water fresh.

✔ No trenches, no mess, and a faster repair.
No one wants a construction site in their yard. We’ll fix your pipes without the headache.
Preventative Leak Detection Services
Leaks don’t always show up as puddles on the floor. Sometimes, they start small and silent, creeping behind walls and under floors. By the time you notice them, the damage is already done.
✔ Yearly plumbing check-ups help us catch issues before they become expensive.
✔ Smart leak detectors alert you when there’s a problem.
✔ Regular maintenance keeps pipes strong and reliable.

Every type of pipe has its own pros and cons. We work with them all, making sure your plumbing stays in great shape no matter what your home has.
Copper has been the go-to choice for decades—and for good reason. It resists corrosion and lasts a long time. It does cost more upfront, but you’ll rarely have to replace it.
Lightweight and immune to rust, PVC pipes are a popular choice for modern plumbing. They’re great for indoor use, but if they sit in direct sunlight too long, they can get brittle. If you’ve got PVC in an outdoor setup, it needs protection from UV exposure.
PEX is gaining popularity fast, especially in places with crazy temperature changes like Kansas City, KS. These pipes flex and expand instead of cracking in extreme heat or cold. Fewer joints mean fewer potential leaks, which makes PEX a solid choice for many homeowners.
These are tough and built to handle high pressure and rough conditions. The downside? They’re prone to rust over time. If your home has old galvanized pipes, regular checkups are a must. If they’ve already started corroding, we’ll swap them out for a more durable option.
Each pipe type has its own good and bad sides. But, we know how to handle them all. Especially in serving Kansas City.
1│Water can harm your home’s structure
Water damage is more than just a nuisance; it poses a significant threat to the structural integrity of your home. When water seeps into the foundational elements, it can weaken the materials, from wood beams to concrete. This weakening can lead to long-term damage like rotting, warping, or even collapse if not addressed promptly.
2│Wet areas can grow mold, which isn’t good to breathe in
Prolonged exposure to moisture creates an ideal environment for mold growth. Mold spores, when inhaled, can irritate the respiratory system, causing coughing, wheezing, and other respiratory problems. Moreover, some molds produce toxins that can be hazardous to human health.
3│Leaks can make water bills go up
Even minor leaks can result in a substantial increase in your monthly water bill. Drips and unnoticed water wastage can accumulate over time, leading to unnecessary costs. It’s essential to identify and address these leaks promptly to prevent undue expenses.
1│Breathing in mold for a long time isn’t good for your health
Chronic exposure to mold can lead to more severe health issues over time. It can exacerbate asthma symptoms, lead to allergic reactions, and even result in chronic respiratory diseases. Those with weakened immune systems, the elderly, and children are particularly vulnerable.
2│Bugs might come to wet areas in
Moist environments not only attract mold but also serve as a magnet for pests. Insects such as silverfish, cockroaches, and certain species of ants are attracted to damp areas. These pests can lead to infestations, causing further damage to your home and potentially spreading diseases.
3│Your home’s value can drop if pipe problems aren’t fixed
Persistent plumbing issues can significantly decrease a home’s market value. Potential buyers will likely be discouraged from investing in a property with unresolved water damage or mold issues. Ensuring that your plumbing system is in optimal condition is essential to maintaining or even boosting your home’s worth in the real estate market.
