20+ Years
Serving KC Metro
Family, Women & Veteran Owned • Serving the Kansas City Metro Since 2003
Full Nelson serves Belton homeowners with plumbing, heating and air conditioning work built on clear explanations and technical skill. Belton sits in northwestern Cass County about four miles from the Kansas state line, with 23,953 residents spread across 14.31 square miles as of the 2020 census.
Belton is built at a noticeably lower density than the Johnson County suburbs, with 9,449 housing units at 663.6 per square mile. Larger lots change the work. Water and sewer service lines run farther from the main to the house, more properties sit on septic systems and private wells, and excavation is a bigger part of what we do here than it is closer in.

20+ Years
Belton was platted in 1871, and the city has grown in stages ever since, from the original town core through postwar expansion to the subdivisions built during the growth from 21,730 residents in 2000 to 23,953 in 2020. That layering means the plumbing we find depends heavily on which part of town we are in. The older core carries cast iron and galvanized systems well past their designed service life. Newer subdivisions have modern materials with different failure patterns. Full Nelson’s licensed plumbers work across all of it.
Longer drain runs on larger lots mean more distance for a blockage to hide and more opportunity for roots to find a joint. A slow drain that clears and then returns within weeks is usually telling you about a problem out in the yard rather than under the sink. Full Nelson provides drain cleaning services that clear the blockage and identify what caused it.
For more serious issues, we offer:
Sewer laterals on Belton’s larger lots are longer than their counterparts in denser suburbs, which means more joints, more exposure to root intrusion, and more length over which soil movement can create a belly in the line. Camera inspection is the only way to know what you are actually dealing with before spending money. Full Nelson runs the camera, shows you the footage, and explains your sewer repair options before quoting work.
Our services include:
Cass County soils hold water, and heavy spring and summer rain tests basement drainage across Belton. When a storm takes the power down, the sump pump stops at exactly the moment groundwater is rising fastest. Full Nelson installs sump pumps and battery backup systems that keep discharging through an outage.
Our services include:
Natural gas heats most Belton homes and feeds water heaters, ranges, dryers and outdoor grills. Leaks develop at threaded connections, at corroded fittings, and in buried lines damaged by ground movement or by digging on the property. On larger lots, buried gas runs to detached garages, shops and outdoor kitchens add length and risk. If you smell the rotten egg odor of natural gas, hear hissing near an appliance, or see vegetation dying over a buried line, call immediately. Full Nelson locates the leak, repairs it, and pressure tests the system.
Our services include:
A running toilet adds hundreds of gallons to the monthly bill. Repeated clogs usually indicate a drain line or vent problem rather than a fixture problem. Weak flushes often trace to mineral deposits blocking the rim jets. Full Nelson diagnoses the actual cause and completes repairs that address it, or installs a water-efficient replacement when that is the better answer.
Our services include:
Dripping faucets and shower valves that will not hold temperature indicate worn cartridges and seals, and mineral content in the water accelerates that wear. Full Nelson repairs faucets and shower valves from all major manufacturers and handles replacement when a fixture has reached the end of its life.
Our services include:
The City of Belton purchases its water from the Kansas City Water Department, whose plant draws from the Missouri River and two deep well aquifers. Belton’s own Water Services Division operates the reservoirs, pump stations and water mains that carry it to your meter. Treated surface water still reaches the tap carrying chlorine taste and sediment picked up in distribution. Full Nelson tests your water and recommends filtration based on measured results.
Our services include:
Hard water leaves scale on shower doors, spots on glassware and mineral deposits inside water heaters and pipes, cutting appliance efficiency and shortening equipment life. Full Nelson sizes and installs water softeners based on household size, usage patterns and measured hardness at your address.
Our services include:
Properties on the rural edges of Belton and out into Cass County draw water from private wells rather than the municipal system. When a submersible pump fails or a pressure tank bladder ruptures, the property loses water entirely. Full Nelson diagnoses well system faults and replaces pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches and related components.
Our services include:
Excavation matters more in Belton than in the dense suburbs closer in. The City of Belton is responsible for the water line leading to your meter and for the meter itself. Everything from the meter to the building, along with all interior plumbing, is the property owner’s responsibility. On a large Belton lot that private run can be substantial, and when it fails the repair is yours. Full Nelson provides excavation services that complete the work properly and recommends trenchless methods where site conditions allow.
The water service line from your meter to the house carries every gallon the household uses, and on Belton’s larger lots that line covers real distance. Corrosion, root intrusion and ground movement damage it over the decades. Watch for a wet patch that never dries, pressure that has dropped throughout the house, or a bill that rose without a change in habits. Full Nelson locates the fault and completes water main line repair or replacement.
We offer:
When camera inspection shows collapsed sections, multiple root masses or a significant belly, spot repairs stop being economical. Full Nelson handles sewer line excavation and installs modern materials rated to serve the property for generations rather than patching a line that will fail again.
Our services include:
Belton’s lower development density means more properties here sit outside municipal sewer service and rely on septic systems. Warning signs include drains running slowly throughout the house, gurgling in the pipes, sewage odor in the yard, and saturated ground over the tank. Full Nelson inspects septic systems and completes the repairs needed to restore proper function.
Our services include:
The lateral field disperses treated effluent into the surrounding soil for final filtration. Cass County’s clay-heavy soils drain slowly, which makes lateral field sizing and condition more critical here than on sandy ground. When lines clog with biomat, crush under vehicle traffic or fail from age, sewage backs up into the house or surfaces in the yard. Full Nelson evaluates lateral field damage and performs repair or complete replacement.
Our services include:
A traditional sewer replacement on a large Belton lot means a long trench, and the longer the run the more landscaping, driveway and hardscape is in the way. Trenchless methods limit excavation to access pits at each end of the damaged section. Full Nelson evaluates whether trenchless work is viable for your property and explains the tradeoffs.
Our services include:
Fast & Reliable
Hot water supports the whole household routine, and a failed water heater stops it. Full Nelson provides water heater repair and installation for all system types with clear pricing before any work begins.
Gas water heaters heat faster and cost less to run than electric models in most Belton homes. Pilot assemblies that will not stay lit, failed thermocouples and sediment accumulation that causes rumbling are the common failures. Full Nelson services all major brands and installs replacement gas units sized to your household’s actual demand.
Same Day
Electric water heaters serve homes where natural gas is unavailable, which includes properties on the rural fringes where gas service does not extend. Heating elements burn out, thermostats fail, and tank interiors corrode until they leak. Full Nelson diagnoses the fault and advises whether repair or replacement is the better decision.
Tankless water heaters heat on demand and remove the standby loss of keeping a full tank hot around the clock. They deliver continuous hot water for long showers, back-to-back bathroom use and simultaneous kitchen and laundry demand. Heat exchangers need periodic descaling. Full Nelson services tankless systems from all manufacturers and installs new units.
Hybrid water heaters use heat pump technology to pull warmth from surrounding air rather than generating it electrically, using far less energy than resistance elements. They need a space that stays above 40 degrees year-round with enough air volume to draw from. Full Nelson installs and services hybrid systems and evaluates whether your utility space suits one.
Stay Comfortable Year-Round
Missouri winters bring ice storms, sub-zero stretches and extended cold that stress heating equipment. Full Nelson acquired a 25-year Kansas City HVAC company in 2019, adding decades of heating experience to our plumbing foundation.

Gas furnaces heat most Belton homes, though properties beyond the gas service area run propane or electric heat instead. Common failures include ignition system problems, blower motor burnout and cracked heat exchangers that allow combustion gases into living space. Full Nelson provides furnace repair for all makes and models and installs properly sized equipment when replacement is the right call.
Our services include:
Heat pumps move heat rather than generating it, delivering heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit. They are worth serious consideration on properties without natural gas service, where the alternative is electric resistance heat at much higher operating cost. Cold-climate models hold efficiency well below freezing. Full Nelson provides heat pump service for all brands.
Our services include:
Heated winter air loses moisture rapidly, dropping indoor humidity to levels that cause static shocks, dry skin, irritated sinuses and damage to wood floors and furniture. Full Nelson installs whole-home humidifiers, high-efficiency filters and UV light systems in ductwork.
Our services include:
Breathe Easier
Missouri summers combine heat and humidity that make air conditioning essential. Full Nelson provides air conditioning services throughout Belton and northwestern Cass County.

An air conditioner that runs constantly without cooling wastes electricity and wears out components early. Refrigerant leaks cut capacity, dirty coils block heat transfer, and failing capacitors cause compressors to overheat. Full Nelson technicians diagnose accurately and complete AC repairs that restore comfort.
Our services include:
Larger Belton properties frequently include detached garages, workshops, barns and bonus rooms that the main HVAC system was never designed to reach. Mini splits condition those spaces without extending ductwork across the property, and they let you heat or cool a workshop only when you are using it. Full Nelson installs mini splits and services existing systems.
Summer humidity here promotes mold growth and makes rooms feel muggy even with the air conditioner running. Whole-home dehumidifiers address it more effectively than the air conditioner alone. Combined with upgraded filtration and UV treatment, they improve air quality throughout the house.
Gaps at duct connections and seams leak conditioned air into crawl spaces and attics, wasting energy and creating hot and cold rooms. Dust and allergens accumulate inside ducts over years of operation. Full Nelson provides duct cleaning and duct sealing.
Belton sits toward the outer edge of the metro, where utility feeder lines run longer distances across open country and through tree lines. Ice storms and summer straight-line winds bring them down, and restoration on the outskirts often takes longer than in the dense suburbs. Properties on private wells lose water entirely during an outage, because the well pump needs power to run. A standby generator starts automatically within seconds and keeps the well pump, refrigerator, HVAC system, sump pump and lights working.
Full Nelson sizes generators to your home’s actual electrical load and handles the complete installation, including the automatic transfer switch and fuel connection.
For Local Businesses
Belton has a substantial commercial and institutional base for a city its size. QuikTrip Distribution is the largest employer with roughly 1,005 people, followed by the Belton School District with about 637 and Belton Regional Medical Center with about 286. Hy-Vee and Price Chopper both operate here. Distribution facilities, grocery operations and healthcare all run refrigeration and climate control where downtime carries real cost. Full Nelson provides commercial HVAC services and commercial plumbing, including scheduled maintenance programs that catch problems before they close a case or a cooler.
