Plumber in Overland Park, KS

Two kinds of Overland Park homes, two kinds of plumbing

Overland Park grew from north to south, and the plumbing in a house usually tells you when it was built. In north Overland Park, many homes date from the 1950s through the 1970s. Original shut-off valves that won't turn, aging supply lines, and drain lines that have seen decades of use are common calls there.

In south Overland Park, a lot of homes were built from the 1990s on, many with finished basements. There the questions tend to be about water heaters reaching the end of their life, sump pumps that have run for years without a check, and adding a battery backup before the next spring storm.

Hard water from WaterOne

Most Overland Park homes get their water from WaterOne, which reports average hardness of about 7.9 grains per gallon. That's hard water. You'll see it as white crust on faucets and showerheads, and it builds up as sediment in water heaters over time. A softener, regular water heater flushing, or both, can help.
