20+ Years
Serving KC Metro
Family, Women & Veteran Owned • Serving Wyandotte County Since 2003
Kansas City, Kansas is home to Full Nelson. Our office at 8525 Parallel Parkway puts us right in the heart of Wyandotte County, which means faster response times and technicians who know these neighborhoods firsthand. We have been serving KCK homeowners since 2003 with plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work built on transparency and technical skill.
Full Nelson started serving Kansas City, Kansas families in 2003 and we have never left. As a Family, Women and Veteran owned company based right here in Wyandotte County, we bring local knowledge that outside contractors simply cannot match. Our technicians drive these streets every day and understand the specific challenges KCK homes face.
Kansas City, Kansas spans 128 square miles with housing stock that ranges from 1880s Victorian homes in Strawberry Hill to new construction near Village West. That variety demands technicians who can adapt. Our team works on century-old galvanized pipes and modern PEX systems with equal confidence. When you call Full Nelson, you get neighbors helping neighbors.
20+ Years
Johnson County homes face specific plumbing challenges. The clay-heavy soil in this area can shift and stress underground pipes. Homes in established neighborhoods like Brookridge, Nottingham Forest, and Indian Creek may have original plumbing from the 1960s and 70s approaching the end of its lifespan. Our licensed plumbers understand these local conditions and provide solutions that last.
Slow drains and sewer backups require prompt attention to prevent water damage and health hazards. Full Nelson provides drain cleaning and rooter services for clogged sinks, showers, and floor drains. Our technicians use professional equipment to clear blockages and restore proper flow.
For more serious issues, we offer:
Damaged sewer lines cause backups, foul odors, and potential health hazards. Full Nelson provides sewer repair and sewer replacement services, including video inspection to identify the exact location and cause of problems. We assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your situation.
Our services include:
Basement flooding can cause thousands of dollars in damage. A properly installed sump pump removes water before it becomes a problem. Full Nelson installs, repairs, and replaces sump pumps for homes throughout the area. We also install battery backup systems that keep your sump pump running during power outages when storms hit hardest.
Our services include:
Gas leaks are serious safety hazards that require immediate attention. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, call us right away. Our technicians are trained to locate gas leaks, make repairs safely, and test lines to confirm the problem is resolved. We also handle gas line installation for appliances, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits.
Our services include:
Running toilets waste water and money. Clogged toilets disrupt your household. Full Nelson handles toilet repairs for all makes and models, from simple flapper replacements to complete rebuilds. When repair no longer makes sense, we provide toilet replacement with water-efficient models that reduce your utility bills.
Our services include:
Dripping faucets and faulty shower valves waste water and can indicate larger plumbing issues. Our plumbers repair and replace kitchen faucets, bathroom faucets, shower valves, and tub fixtures. We work with all major brands and can help you select fixtures that match your style and budget.
Our services include:
Clean water matters for your family’s health and the longevity of your plumbing fixtures and appliances. Full Nelson installs whole-home water filtration systems that remove contaminants, improve taste, and protect your pipes. We assess your water quality and recommend filtration solutions based on your specific needs.
Our services include:
Hard water causes scale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and appliances. It leaves spots on dishes and can make skin and hair feel dry. A water softener removes minerals that cause these problems. Full Nelson installs and services water softeners to extend the life of your plumbing and appliances.
Our services include:
Homes with private wells depend on pumps and pressure tanks for their water supply. When these systems fail, you lose water to your entire home. Full Nelson services well pumps and well tanks, diagnosing issues like low pressure, short cycling, and pump failure. We repair or replace components to restore reliable water flow.
Our services include:
Wyandotte County has some of the oldest housing stock in the Kansas City metro. Historic neighborhoods like Strawberry Hill, Kensington, and Argentine contain homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s with original plumbing that has served families for generations. These older systems require plumbers who understand galvanized steel, cast iron, and clay tile sewer lines. Full Nelson works across all of KCK, from the historic urban core to newer developments in the western part of the county.
Older homes in Kansas City, Kansas often have drain lines that have collected decades of buildup. Tree roots find their way into clay tile pipes through tiny cracks. Grease and soap residue narrow the inside diameter of drain lines until water barely passes through. Full Nelson clears drains using professional equipment and identifies the underlying cause so problems do not keep recurring.
For more serious issues, we offer:
Sewer lines in KCK range from modern PVC in newer areas to clay tile and Orangeburg pipe in older neighborhoods. Each material fails differently and requires different repair approaches. Full Nelson uses video inspection to see exactly what is happening inside your sewer line before recommending any work. We show you the footage and explain what we find in plain terms.
Our services include:
Parts of Kansas City, Kansas sit in areas prone to water intrusion. Turkey Creek has flooded historically, and many homes throughout the county rely on sump pumps to keep basements dry. When storms knock out power, your sump pump stops working exactly when you need it most. Full Nelson installs battery backup systems that keep pumping through outages and protect your home when conditions are worst.
Our services include:
Natural gas heats most KCK homes and powers stoves, dryers, and water heaters. Leaks can develop at fittings, valves, or in corroded sections of old gas lines. If you smell rotten eggs or hear hissing near a gas appliance, call immediately. Full Nelson locates leaks, makes safe repairs, and pressure-tests the entire system before leaving. We also extend gas lines for new appliances, outdoor grills, and fire pits.
Our services include:
A toilet that runs between flushes wastes water around the clock. That constant trickle adds up to hundreds of gallons per month on your bill. Frequent clogs often indicate problems beyond the toilet itself, sometimes in the drain line or vent stack. Full Nelson troubleshoots toilet problems thoroughly and repairs the actual cause. When replacement makes sense, we install efficient models that use less water per flush.
Our services include:
Faucets and shower valves wear out over time. Rubber washers harden. Cartridges fail. Mineral deposits restrict flow. A drip that seems minor wastes gallons of water daily and often worsens until the fixture fails completely. Full Nelson repairs and replaces faucets, shower valves, and tub fixtures. We carry parts for major brands and can match existing finishes when updating individual fixtures.
Our services include:
City water treatment handles most contaminants, but chlorine taste, sediment, and dissolved minerals still reach your glass. A whole-home filtration system treats water as it enters your house, providing cleaner water at every tap and protecting appliances from buildup. Full Nelson assesses your water quality and recommends filtration based on what testing reveals, not guesswork.
Our services include:
Hard water affects homes throughout the Kansas City metro. The minerals leave white scale on faucets, spots on dishes, and buildup inside water heaters that shortens their lifespan. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium at the point of entry, protecting your entire plumbing system. Full Nelson sizes softeners based on your water hardness level and household usage.
Our services include:
Some properties in western Wyandotte County and surrounding areas rely on private wells rather than municipal water. When your well pump fails or the pressure tank loses its air charge, water stops flowing to your home entirely. Full Nelson diagnoses well system problems and repairs or replaces pumps, pressure tanks, and related components to restore service.
Our services include:
When underground pipes fail, excavation is sometimes the only option. Water mains develop leaks. Sewer lines collapse. Septic systems need replacement. Full Nelson provides excavation services throughout Wyandotte County, using the appropriate method for each situation. We also offer trenchless options that minimize yard disruption when conditions allow.
The water main delivers every gallon your household uses. These lines can last decades, but corrosion, ground movement, and tree root intrusion eventually cause problems. Symptoms include unexplained drops in water pressure, wet areas in your yard when it has not rained, or muddy water at your taps. Full Nelson locates damage and completes repairs or full replacement to restore reliable water service.
We offer:
Many KCK homes still have original clay tile or cast iron sewer lines from when they were built. These materials deteriorate over time. Clay cracks and separates at joints, allowing roots to enter. Cast iron corrodes from the inside. When video inspection reveals extensive damage, replacement becomes necessary. Full Nelson handles sewer line excavation and installs modern materials that will serve your home for decades.
Our services include:
Properties outside the municipal sewer system depend on septic tanks to process household wastewater. These systems work reliably for years but eventually need repair or replacement. Warning signs include slow drains throughout the house, sewage smells in your yard, and soggy spots over the tank or drain field. Full Nelson inspects septic systems and performs the repairs needed to restore proper function.
Our services include:
The lateral field distributes treated wastewater from your septic tank into surrounding soil. When these underground lines become clogged or crushed, the system backs up. Sewage may surface in your yard or back up into the house. Full Nelson evaluates drain field problems and performs repair or replacement to restore proper drainage and protect your property.
Our services include:
Not every sewer problem requires digging up your entire yard. Trenchless methods allow us to repair or replace sewer lines through small access points. Pipe bursting breaks apart the old pipe while pulling new pipe into place. Pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the existing one. Full Nelson assesses your situation and recommends trenchless options when they make sense for your property.
Our services include:
Fast & Reliable
A working water heater is essential for daily life. When yours fails, showers turn cold, dishes pile up, and laundry waits. Full Nelson repairs and installs all types of water heaters. We stock common parts on our trucks for faster repairs and provide clear pricing before beginning any work.
Gas water heaters heat water faster and cost less to operate than electric models in most cases. Common failures include pilot lights that will not stay lit, thermocouples that stop working, and tanks that rumble from sediment accumulation. Full Nelson services gas water heaters from all manufacturers and installs replacements sized correctly for your household’s hot water needs.
Same Day
Electric water heaters provide reliable hot water in homes without gas service. When heating elements burn out or thermostats malfunction, water temperature becomes unpredictable. Sediment buildup reduces efficiency and tank capacity. Full Nelson repairs electric water heaters when practical and provides replacement when the unit has reached the end of its useful life.
Tankless water heaters produce hot water on demand without storing it in a tank. They take up less space, last longer than tank models, and never run out of hot water. These units require specific maintenance, including periodic flushing to remove mineral scale. Full Nelson services tankless water heaters from all brands and installs new units for homeowners making the switch.
Hybrid water heaters use heat pump technology to pull warmth from surrounding air, dramatically reducing energy consumption compared to standard electric tanks. They work best in spaces that stay above 40 degrees year-round. Full Nelson installs and services hybrid water heaters, helping homeowners understand whether this efficient technology fits their home and usage patterns.
Stay Comfortable Year-Round
Winter temperatures in Kansas City drop well below freezing, and ice storms can leave homes without power for days. A reliable heating system is not optional here. Full Nelson added HVAC expertise in 2019 when we acquired a Kansas City heating and cooling company with 25 years of experience. That knowledge strengthens every heating service call we make.

Gas furnaces provide the primary heat source for most KCK homes. These systems work hard through cold months and eventually develop issues: ignition systems fail, blower motors wear out, heat exchangers crack from years of thermal cycling. Full Nelson diagnoses furnace problems accurately and explains your options clearly. When replacement makes sense, we install new equipment properly sized for your home.
Our services include:
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit, making them efficient choices for many homes. Modern heat pumps work effectively even in cold weather. When problems occur, you lose both heating and cooling capability. Full Nelson services all heat pump brands and installs new systems designed to handle the Kansas City climate.
Our services include:
Heated air loses moisture, leaving homes uncomfortably dry during winter months. Low humidity causes static electricity, cracked skin, and irritated respiratory systems. Full Nelson installs whole-home humidifiers that work with your furnace to maintain comfortable moisture levels. We also install high-efficiency filters and UV lights that improve air quality by capturing particles and neutralizing airborne pathogens.
Our services include:
Breathe Easier
Kansas City summers bring weeks of temperatures above 90 degrees with humidity that makes afternoons feel oppressive. Air conditioning transforms from a luxury to a necessity. Full Nelson keeps AC systems running efficiently with repair, maintenance, and replacement services throughout Wyandotte County.
Stay Comfortable Year-Round
HVAC expertise in Kansas City
An AC system that runs constantly without cooling your home wastes electricity and strains components. Refrigerant leaks, failing capacitors, and dirty coils all reduce cooling capacity. Full Nelson technicians identify problems accurately and make repairs that restore comfort. When your system reaches the end of its lifespan, we install replacement equipment sized properly for your home.
Our services include:
Older homes in Kansas City, Kansas often lack ductwork for central air conditioning. Mini split systems solve this problem by delivering conditioned air directly to individual rooms without ducts. They also work well for additions, converted attics, and spaces that existing HVAC systems struggle to reach. Full Nelson installs mini split systems and services existing units when repairs are needed.
Summer humidity promotes mold growth and makes indoor spaces feel sticky even when the air conditioner runs constantly. Whole-home dehumidifiers remove excess moisture more effectively than AC alone. Combined with upgraded filters and UV lights, these systems improve the air quality throughout your home. Full Nelson designs indoor air quality solutions that address your specific concerns.
Ductwork in older KCK homes often shows its age. Joints separate, allowing conditioned air to escape into walls and attics. Dust, pet hair, and debris accumulate over decades. Full Nelson provides duct cleaning to remove buildup and duct sealing to eliminate leaks. Properly sealed ducts improve comfort and reduce the energy your HVAC system consumes.
Power outages hit Kansas City, Kansas regularly. Ice storms bring down power lines. Summer thunderstorms knock out service for hours or days. Neighborhoods like Turner, Rosedale, and Piper with mature trees see outages more frequently when limbs fall on lines. A standby generator starts automatically when power fails, keeping your refrigerator, furnace, and essential systems running until service returns.
Full Nelson handles generator sizing, installation, and connection to your home’s electrical system and natural gas supply.

From restaurants near the Legends to shops in downtown KCK, commercial spaces require heating, cooling, and refrigeration that works day after day.
