About
Poor John's Plumbing has been serving Kansas City homeowners since 1988 — that's over 35 years of showing up on time, doing the job right, and standing behind our work.
Here's what makes us different: we post our prices online. No other plumber in KC does that. You can see exactly what you'll pay before you ever call us — no surprises, no inflated invoices, no pressure. We call it flat-rate pricing and we've built our entire business around it.
We're a family-owned company with a small, experienced team of licensed master plumbers. When you call Poor John's you're not getting a franchise or a call center — you're getting a local KC plumber who lives and works in this community and has a reputation to protect.

I had a great experience with this plumbing company. They were extremely transparent from start to finish, clearly explaining the issue, the repair options, and the costs upfront with no surprises. The plumber took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I understood what was being done. Its refreshing to work with a company thats honest, straightforward, and professional. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable plumbing services.

Shawn arrived on time and ran the snake through the family room floor drain line out a least 100 feet but found no significant blockage. He then ran it up through the vertical drain to the kitchen sink and at the top, hit the blockage releasing maybe a quart of black tar like residue with lots of food/garbage particles. He solved the problem and did his best to clean up the mess. No complainants. I didn't take any pictures, and you probably wouldn't want to see it anyway.

Very friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything he did and what we need to do to keep an open sewer line. Thanks Shawn.
