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.

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.

I needed a floor drain unclogged, and Poor John's Plumbing came to the rescue. Communication was excellent, and the tech who showed up was courteous, knowledgeable, and effective in getting the job done. I'll definitely call on these guys again when in need.
