Lee's Summit, MO
Family, Women & Veteran Owned • Serving Johnson County Since 2003
Full Nelson serves Lee’s Summit homeowners with plumbing, heating, and air conditioning work built on honesty and skill. As the sixth largest city in Missouri and the highest point on the Missouri Pacific Railroad between St. Louis and Kansas City, Lee’s Summit has grown from a small railroad town to a thriving community of over 100,000 residents. Our team serves families throughout this 65-square-mile city, from historic downtown homes to newer developments near the lakes.
We Exceed Expectations
Lee’s Summit traces its roots to 1865 when William B. Howard founded the town of Strother. Three years later, residents renamed it to honor Dr. Pleasant John Graves Lea, whose farm sat at the highest elevation along the railroad line. That spirit of growth has continued ever since. After World War II, the population exploded from 2,500 in 1950 to more than 100,000 today. Full Nelson works on homes from every era of that expansion, from Victorian-era structures downtown to ranch homes built in the 1970s to new construction in master-planned communities.
As a Family, Women and Veteran owned company, we approach every job differently than the big franchises. Our technicians take time to understand your situation before recommending solutions. When you call Full Nelson, you get people who care about doing the job right.

Our licensed plumbers understand these local conditions and provide solutions that last.

Plumbing Services in Lee's Summit
Lee’s Summit covers 65 square miles with housing that reflects more than a century of development. The historic downtown district contains Craftsman bungalows and Tudor Revival homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Neighborhoods like Oldham, just north of downtown, feature some of the city’s oldest housing stock. Areas like Pryor have mid-century homes from the 1960s through 1980s with galvanized and copper plumbing. Full Nelson’s licensed plumbers understand these differences and adapt their approach accordingly.

Drain Cleaning
Slow drains rarely improve on their own. What begins as minor pooling becomes a complete blockage that sends sewage back through floor drains and toilets. Tree roots penetrate older clay and cast iron lines throughout Lee’s Summit’s established neighborhoods. Grease and soap residue accumulate in kitchen drains over years. Full Nelson provides drain cleaning services that clear current blockages and identify the underlying cause.
For more serious issues, we offer:
- Drain cleaning
- Rooter services
- Clogged sinks
- Showers
- Floor drains
-
Sewer Repair and Replacement
Sewer lines in Lee’s Summit vary based on when each neighborhood was built. Downtown homes may have original clay tile lines over a century old. Post-war neighborhoods often have cast iron. Homes built after 1980 typically have PVC. Each material fails differently and requires specific repair techniques. Full Nelson uses video camera inspection to see exactly what is happening inside your sewer line. We show you the footage and explain your sewer repair options before any work begins.
Our services include:
- Sewer line repair and installation
- Sewer video inspection
- Trenchless excavation using pipe bursting technology
-
Sump Pumps and Battery Backup Systems
Missouri storms bring heavy rains that test basement drainage systems. Lee’s Summit sits on clay soil and limestone bedrock that can channel water toward foundations during wet seasons. When the power fails during a thunderstorm, your sump pump stops working right when water levels rise fastest. Full Nelson installs sump pumps and battery backup systems that continue pumping through outages, protecting your basement when conditions are most threatening.
Our services include:
- Sump pumps
- Battery backup systems
-
Gas Leaks and Gas Repairs
Natural gas heats most Lee’s Summit homes and powers water heaters, stoves, dryers, and outdoor grills. Leaks develop at connections, corroded fittings, or in underground lines damaged by ground movement. If you detect the rotten egg odor of natural gas, hear hissing near an appliance, or notice dying vegetation over a buried line, call immediately. Full Nelson locates leaks, completes repairs safely, and pressure tests the entire system before leaving your home.
Our services include:
- Gas leak detection
- Gas leak repair
- Gas line testing
- Gas line installation
-
Toilet Repairs and Replacements
A running toilet adds hundreds of gallons to your water bill each month. Toilets that clog frequently may have problems in the drain line or vent stack rather than the fixture itself. Weak flushes often result from mineral deposits restricting water flow through rim jets. Full Nelson diagnoses toilet problems accurately and completes repairs that solve the actual issue. When replacement makes sense, we install water-efficient models that perform better and cost less to operate.
Our services include:
- Toilet repairs & replacements
- Flapper replacements
- Toilet rebuilds
- Water-efficient toilets
-
Faucets and Shower Valves
Dripping faucets and shower valves that struggle to maintain temperature point to worn internal cartridges and seals. Hard water accelerates this wear by depositing minerals on moving parts. Full Nelson repairs faucets and shower valves from all major manufacturers. When fixtures reach the end of their useful life, we handle replacement and can match existing finishes to maintain consistency throughout your bathroom or kitchen.
Our services include:
- Kitchen faucets
- Bathroom faucets
- Shower valves
- Tub fixtures
-
Water Filtration
Lee’s Summit receives treated municipal water, but chlorine taste, sediment from aging distribution pipes, and dissolved minerals remain present at the tap. A whole-home filtration system addresses these issues where water enters your house, delivering cleaner water to every fixture. Full Nelson tests your water quality and recommends filtration based on what actually appears in your supply rather than generic assumptions.
Our services include:
- Whole-home water filtration systems
- Water quality assessment
- Filtration solutions
-
Water Softeners
The Kansas City metro, including Lee’s Summit, has moderately hard water that leaves white scale on shower doors, spots on dishes, and deposits inside water heaters and pipes. These minerals reduce appliance efficiency and shorten equipment lifespan. Water softeners remove calcium and magnesium at the point of entry. Full Nelson sizes and installs softener systems based on your household size, water usage patterns, and measured hardness levels.
Our services include:
- Water softeners
- Water softener installation
- Water softener service
-
Well Pumps and Well Tanks
Some properties on the outskirts of Lee’s Summit, particularly in areas annexed more recently, draw water from private wells rather than municipal supply. When the submersible pump fails or the pressure tank bladder ruptures, water stops flowing throughout the house. Full Nelson diagnoses well system problems and replaces pumps, pressure tanks, pressure switches, and related components to restore reliable water service.
Our services include:
- Well pumps & Well tanks
- Low water pressure issues
- Short cycling
- Pump failure

We also offer trenchless alternatives when site conditions permit.

Water Main Line Repair and Replacement
The water main carries every gallon your household uses from the city supply to your home. Corrosion, tree root intrusion, and ground movement damage these buried lines over decades. Warning signs include unexplained wet areas in the yard, reduced water pressure throughout the house, or rusty discolored water at your taps. Full Nelson locates water main problems and completes repair or full replacement to restore normal service.
We offer:
- Water main line repair
- Water main line replacement
- Restoring water service
-
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Lee’s Summit has homes dating from every decade since the 1880s, and sewer line materials evolved throughout that period. Clay tile, cast iron, Orangeburg fiber pipe, and PVC all exist beneath local properties. When video inspection reveals damage too extensive for spot repairs, full replacement becomes necessary. Full Nelson handles sewer line excavation and installs durable modern materials designed to serve your home for generations.
Our services include:
- Sewer line repair
- Sewer line replacement
- Video inspection
- Recommending a solution
-
Septic Tank Repair and Replacement
Properties outside the city sewer system rely on septic tanks to treat household wastewater. These systems operate silently for years but eventually need attention. Warning signs include drains that run slowly throughout the house, gurgling sounds in pipes, sewage odors in the yard, or saturated ground over the tank location. Full Nelson inspects septic systems and completes repairs needed to restore proper function.
Our services include:
- Septic tank repair
- Septic tank replacement
- System inspection
- Identifying issues
-
Septic Lateral Field Repair and Replacement
The drain field disperses treated effluent from your septic tank into surrounding soil for final filtration. When these underground distribution lines clog with biomat, crush under vehicle traffic, or fail from age, the entire system backs up. Raw sewage may surface in your yard or return through household drains. Full Nelson evaluates lateral field damage and performs repair or complete replacement to restore drainage and protect your property.
Our services include:
- Septic lateral field repair
- Septic lateral field replacement
- System assessment
- Restoring proper drainage
-
Trenchless Sewer Repair and Replacement
Traditional sewer replacement requires digging a trench across your entire yard, destroying landscaping and hardscape along the way. Trenchless methods limit excavation to access points at each end of the damaged section. Pipe bursting pulls new pipe through while fracturing the old line outward. Pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the existing structure. Full Nelson evaluates your situation and recommends trenchless options when they make sense for your property.
Our services include:
- Trenchless sewer repair
- Trenchless sewer replacement
- Pipe bursting
- Pipe lining
- Installing new pipes

Water Heater Services Lee's Summit
Hot water supports everything from morning showers to dishwashers to laundry. When your water heater fails, daily routines grind to a halt. Full Nelson provides water heater repair and installation for all system types. We help you understand your options and provide clear pricing before beginning any work.
Gas Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Gas water heaters heat faster and cost less to operate than electric models in most situations. Common failure points include pilot assemblies that will not stay lit, thermocouples that shut off the gas valve, and sediment accumulation that causes rumbling and reduces efficiency. Full Nelson services all major brands and installs replacement units sized to meet your household’s hot water demand.

Electric Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Electric water heaters serve homes where natural gas is unavailable or impractical to install. Upper and lower heating elements burn out over time. Thermostats fail and allow water to overheat or stay cold. Tank interiors corrode and eventually leak. When your electric water heater delivers inconsistent temperatures or stops working altogether, Full Nelson diagnoses the issue and advises whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
Tankless Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Tankless water heaters produce hot water on demand, eliminating the standby losses of storing 40 or 50 gallons of heated water around the clock. They deliver continuous hot water for long showers, back-to-back bathroom use, and simultaneous kitchen and laundry demands. These units require periodic descaling to remove mineral buildup from heat exchangers. Full Nelson services tankless systems from all manufacturers and installs new units for homeowners ready to upgrade.
Hybrid Water Heater Repair and Replacement
Hybrid water heaters use heat pump technology to extract warmth from surrounding air and transfer it into the tank. This approach uses far less electricity than standard resistance heating elements. Hybrid units work most efficiently in spaces that stay above 40 degrees year-round, such as heated basements or utility rooms. Full Nelson installs and services hybrid systems, helping homeowners determine whether this technology suits their home layout.

Furnace Repair, Installation, and Maintenance
Gas furnaces heat most Lee’s Summit homes. These systems run continuously during cold weather and accumulate wear over years of operation. Common problems include ignition system failures, blower motor burnout, and cracked heat exchangers that allow combustion gases into living spaces. Full Nelson provides furnace repair for all makes and models. When replacement makes sense, we install properly sized equipment and explain your efficiency options.
Our services include:
- Furnace repair & replacement
- Furnace installation
- Furnace maintenance
-
Heat Pump Repair, Installation, and Maintenance
Heat pumps move heat rather than generating it, providing both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit. Modern cold-climate heat pumps maintain efficiency even when temperatures drop well below freezing. When a heat pump fails, you lose both heating and cooling capability. Full Nelson provides heat pump service for all brands and installs new systems designed for our regional climate.
Our services include:
- Heat pump repair and replacement
- Heat pump installation
- Heat pump service
- Heating system maintenance
-
Filters, Humidifiers, UV Lights, and Indoor Air Quality
Heated winter air loses moisture rapidly, dropping indoor humidity to levels that cause static shocks, cracked skin, irritated sinuses, and damage to wood floors and furniture. Full Nelson installs whole-home humidifiers that work with your furnace to maintain comfortable moisture levels. We also install high-efficiency air filters and UV light systems in ductwork that capture particles and neutralize airborne bacteria and viruses.
Our services include:
- Improving indoor air quality

Air Conditioning Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance
An air conditioner that struggles to cool wastes electricity and wears out components prematurely. Refrigerant leaks reduce capacity. Dirty coils block heat transfer. Failing capacitors cause compressors to overheat. Full Nelson technicians diagnose problems accurately and complete AC repairs that restore comfort. When equipment reaches the end of its useful life, we install properly sized replacements.
Our services include:
- Air Conditioning Repair & Replacement
- Air Conditioning Installation & Maintenance
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor problems
- Electrical failures

Mini Split Repair, Replacement, and Installation
Many homes in Lee’s Summit’s historic downtown district and older Oldham neighborhood were built before central air conditioning became standard. Adding ductwork to these structures is expensive and often impractical. Mini split systems deliver heating and cooling directly to individual rooms without ducts. They also work well for room additions, finished basements, and bonus rooms above garages. Full Nelson installs mini splits and services existing systems.
-
Filters, Dehumidifiers, UV Lights, and Indoor Air Quality
Summer humidity in the Kansas City area promotes mold growth and makes indoor spaces feel muggy even when the air conditioner runs constantly. Whole-home dehumidifiers remove excess moisture more effectively than AC alone. Combined with upgraded filtration and UV light systems, these products improve air quality throughout your home and help your family breathe easier during humid summer months.
-
Duct Services
Ductwork distributes conditioned air from your furnace and air conditioner to every room in your home. Gaps at connections and seams leak air into unconditioned spaces, wasting energy and creating hot and cold spots. Dust, pet dander, and allergens accumulate inside ducts over years of operation. Full Nelson provides duct cleaning to remove buildup and duct sealing to eliminate air loss.
- Power When You Need It
Generator Installation
Lee's Summit
Power outages affect Lee’s Summit throughout the year. Summer thunderstorms bring straight-line winds and lightning that damage utility infrastructure. Winter ice accumulates on power lines until they snap. Neighborhoods with mature trees, particularly in the Longview area and around the lakes, experience outages more frequently when limbs take down lines. A standby generator starts automatically within seconds of detecting a power loss, keeping your refrigerator, HVAC system, sump pump, and lights running until utility crews restore service.
Whole-Home Standby Generators
- Whole-Home Standby Generators
- Automatic startup during power outages
- Keeps lights, HVAC, and appliances running
- Protects against storm-related outages
Full Nelson sizes generators based on your home’s electrical load and handles complete installation, including the automatic transfer switch and natural gas or propane fuel connection.
