About the Company

At 1-Tom-Plumber Kansas City, we are building a different kind of service company - a quality-focused local shop where you are treated as a valued professional, not just a number on a private equity spreadsheet. Owned and led by a Master Plumber and experienced infrastructure project manager who believes in leading by example, our leadership trains you well from the beginning, spends time in the field supporting you, and maintains an open-door policy in the office.

We specialize in emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, and excavation. Because we operate alongside a sister restoration company (Voda), our Plumbers enjoy a pipeline of high-value emergency leads year-round.
