Roy's Residential Services | Plumbing Services in Kansas City, MO 64136

Basement flooding is a common issue in our area due to heavy rainfall and poor drainage. We help by professionally installing and servicing sump pumps, which are essential for redirecting water away from your foundation. We also perform plumbing inspections to identify and repair any vulnerable pipe joints or cracks in your basement's water lines before they cause a flood.

It depends on the condition of the pipe. For a single leaking joint, a repair is often sufficient. Our technicians will assess the pipe's material and overall health. If we find corrosion or multiple weak spots—common in older Kansas City homes—we may recommend a section replacement or re-piping with new, durable materials to prevent future leaks and water damage.

Before heavy storms, we recommend two key services. First, ensure your sump pump is operational with a quick inspection or installation. Second, have us check your main drain lines and exterior drainage for clogs or damage. A backed-up drain during a downpour can lead to significant indoor flooding. We also recommend inspecting water pipe connections in basements and crawlspaces for pre-existing leaks.
