Gray Wolf Plumbing has served Lenexa homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses since 2007. That is nearly two decades of showing up on time, diagnosing the problem correctly, and getting the water running again. We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing, from a dripping faucet to a whole-home repipe, and we are available for same-day and after-hours calls when something goes wrong at the worst possible moment. Work performed by licensed plumbers on every job, every time. Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers. Call (913) 453-9556 for a quote and let us take a look.
From a single shutoff valve to a whole-home repipe, we have seen it all, and we bring that experience to every job we take in the Lenexa area. Our everyday work covers drain cleaning and clog removal, leak detection and repair, water heater repair and replacement for both tank and tankless units, toilet and faucet and fixture installation, sewer and main line service, garbage disposal installation and repair, water pressure diagnostics, and full repiping. We work in single-family homes, rental properties, multi-unit buildings, restaurants, office buildings, and light commercial spaces across Johnson County.
Property managers and landlords count on us to respond quickly when a tenant calls about a backed-up drain or a leaking pipe under the sink. Business owners count on us to keep their plumbing code-compliant and their operations running without interruption. Whatever the scope, we bring the same standard: honest work, clean results, and clear communication from the first call to the final test. Reach out and we will get it diagnosed quickly.
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. A burst pipe, a sewer backup, or a water heater that quits on a cold morning demands a fast response, and we are set up to provide it. We take after-hours calls, we have same-day availability, and we can get a licensed plumber to your door when the situation is urgent. We handle burst pipe repair, broken pipe repair, major leak detection, sewer backup repair, and no-hot-water emergencies for both residential and commercial customers throughout Johnson County.
We treat your home the way we would want ours treated. That means we show up prepared, we assess the situation honestly, and we give you honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell. If a repair will solve the problem, we tell you that. If a replacement makes more sense for the long run, we explain why. You will not hear us push work that is not needed. Call and we will get your water back on.
We plumb homes and businesses every day, and we are good at it, which means we handle the small stuff just as carefully as the big jobs. A slow drain in a kitchen sink, a clogged toilet that will not clear with a plunger, or a main line that backs up after heavy rain all get the same focused attention. We use hydro jetting for stubborn buildup and camera inspection when we need a clear look at what is happening inside the line.
Leak detection is another area where we get calls regularly. A pipe leak inside a wall, a slab leak under the foundation, or water showing up where it should not can all cause serious damage if they sit. We use water leak detection methods that trace the source without unnecessary demolition, then we make the repair cleanly. Faucet and fixture installation, toilet repair and replacement, garbage disposal work, outdoor faucet and hose bib repair, and under-sink plumbing are all part of what we do week in and week out. We give you straight answers about your pipes and fixtures, no surprises, and we make the repair and leave it tidy.
Your time matters, so we keep the plumbing job on schedule, and that applies to water heater calls as much as anything else. When you have no hot water, or when your unit is leaking, making noise, or simply past its useful life, we respond quickly and get the situation resolved. We repair and replace traditional tank water heaters and install and service tankless water heater systems for both residential and commercial customers.
Tankless water heater installation is a common upgrade request we handle across Lenexa and the surrounding area. Homeowners appreciate the on-demand hot water and the space savings. We size the unit for the household, handle the supply line connections, and make sure everything is working correctly before we leave. If your existing tank unit can be repaired economically, we will tell you that honestly. If replacement is the right call, we will walk you through the options. Call for a quote and we will assess your setup.
Not every plumber works the same way, and the structural plumbing work, the kind that lives inside walls, under slabs, and underground, is where experience and attention to detail matter most. We handle sewer line repair and replacement, main line cleaning and repair, sewer backup repair, and trenchless sewer repair where the site conditions allow for it. We also do full repiping and whole-home repipe projects for older homes where the original supply lines have reached the end of their life.
Low water pressure is a common complaint we diagnose across Johnson County. The cause might be a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed shutoff valve, a corroded section of pipe, or something further up the supply chain. We run through it systematically and fix what we find. Shutoff valve repair and replacement, water main repair, backflow preventer installation and repair, and gas line repair for the supply line feeding a plumbing appliance are all part of our scope. We keep the work focused and the communication clear from the first call to the final test. We trace the leak. We fix the line. We restore the flow.
Johnson County's four-season climate, clay-heavy soil, mature tree canopy, and municipal water supply all shape the plumbing work that comes up most often around here. Spring and summer storms push water into basements. Established neighborhoods with large trees see roots working into older sewer lines over time. And the local water supply carries enough mineral content that water softeners are a practical consideration for many households. The three services below reflect what we see on the ground in this area.
Johnson County's relatively flat terrain and clay-heavy soil mean that heavy spring and summer storms have nowhere fast to drain. Basements collect water, and a sump pump is often the only thing standing between a dry basement and a serious cleanup. We install, repair, and replace sump pumps for homeowners and property managers throughout the area. If your current unit is aging, running constantly, or not keeping up during a hard rain, call us and we will assess it.
Lenexa's established neighborhoods are full of mature trees, and those roots follow moisture directly into clay sewer lines. Over time, a small intrusion becomes a blockage, and a blockage becomes a backup. We clear root intrusions, clean sewer lines, and repair or replace sections of line that have been compromised. Where trenchless sewer repair is an option, we will tell you. We work only on the line itself, from the house to the connection point, and we get it flowing again.
The municipal water supply serving much of Lenexa and Johnson County carries elevated mineral content. Hard water leaves scale in pipes, shortens the life of water heaters and fixtures, and affects everything from laundry to how well soap lathers. We install water softeners and connect them properly to the home's plumbing supply, making sure the supply lines, connections, and bypass valves are set up correctly. If you have been thinking about a softener, call for a quote and we will walk you through what the installation involves.
Plumbing repair and installation costs vary depending on the scope of the job, the materials involved, and what we find once we get into the work. We do not quote a number before we see the situation, because a fair price requires an honest look at the actual problem. What we do commit to is upfront pricing before any work begins. You will know what the job costs before we start, and you will not see surprise charges at the end. Same-day service. Upfront pricing. Licensed plumbers. Call (913) 453-9556 to get a quote for your repair or installation.
We are based in Lenexa and serve the wider Johnson County area, including Overland Park, Shawnee, Olathe, Merriam, Prairie Village, Leawood, and De Soto. If you are in the Kansas City metro and need a plumber who knows the area, we are nearby and ready to help. Call (913) 453-9556 and we will get someone out to you.
We offer same-day availability for urgent repairs and take after-hours calls every day from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM. When you call with a burst pipe, a sewer backup, or no hot water, we dispatch a licensed plumber to your address as quickly as conditions allow. Response times are local because we are based in Lenexa and work throughout Johnson County every day.
A plumbing emergency is any situation where waiting risks significant property damage or leaves a home or business without essential water service. Burst pipes, major leaks spreading across a floor, a complete sewer backup, and no hot water during cold weather all qualify. If you are not sure whether your situation is urgent, call us and we will help you assess it.
Water stains on ceilings, walls, or baseboards are a common indicator, especially if they appear without an obvious source. A mildew smell in a room that should not be damp, soft or discolored drywall, and an unexplained spike in your water bill can all point to a leak that has been running inside a wall or under a slab. If you notice any of these, call us and we will run a leak detection to find the source.
We start with what you can see and work back from there. For hidden leaks, we use detection methods that let us trace the source without unnecessary demolition. For drain and sewer issues, a camera inspection gives us a direct look inside the line. We explain what we find before we recommend a repair, so you understand exactly what the problem is and where it is located.
Inconsistent hot water, water that runs out faster than it used to, discolored or rusty water at the tap, and a unit that is making popping or rumbling sounds are all signs the water heater needs attention. A unit that is leaking from the tank itself or is more than ten to twelve years old is often a replacement candidate. Call us and we will assess the unit honestly and tell you whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better call.
A water heater that runs out faster than expected may have sediment buildup reducing the usable capacity, a failing heating element, or a thermostat set too low. In some cases, demand has simply outgrown the unit's capacity. If the problem is recurring or the unit is aging, it may be time to look at replacement or an upgrade to a tankless system. We diagnose the cause before recommending a path forward.
When a home has aging galvanized or deteriorating supply lines that are producing recurring leaks in multiple locations, a full or partial repipe is often more cost-effective than patching problems one at a time. Low water pressure throughout the house, discolored water, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes are all signs that the supply system may be at the end of its useful life. We assess the situation and give you a clear picture of your options before recommending a repipe.
Most routine repairs, drain cleaning, faucet replacement, toilet repair, and shutoff valve replacement take a few hours or less. Larger jobs like water heater replacement, sewer line repair, or a whole-home repipe take longer and may require a follow-up visit depending on the scope. When we assess your job, we give you a realistic time estimate so you can plan accordingly.
We start with an assessment of your current system to understand the scope and confirm the right materials and unit size for your home. We schedule the work at a time that works for you, and we walk you through what the job involves, how long it will take, and what the cost will be before we begin. For water heater replacements, same-day installation is often possible because we stock common units.
Older homes in the area were often built with galvanized steel supply lines that corrode from the inside over time. As corrosion builds up, it narrows the pipe diameter and restricts flow, which shows up as low pressure throughout the house. Corroded pipe walls also develop pinhole leaks and weak spots that fail repeatedly. Repiping with copper or PEX resolves the underlying problem rather than patching individual failures.
We work through the likely causes systematically: the pressure reducing valve, the main shutoff, individual fixture shutoffs, and the supply lines themselves. If the issue is a failing pressure regulator, we replace it. If corroded or undersized pipe is restricting flow, we address that section of line. We tell you what we found and what we recommend before starting any repair.

| Homeowners with a jammed, leaking, or dead disposal | Most disposal jobs are resolved in a single visit; we confirm the drain connection is clear before finishing |
| Water Pressure and Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Anyone dealing with weak flow, inconsistent pressure, or a valve that no longer fully closes | A failing pressure regulator is a common cause of both low pressure and unexplained pipe stress |
| Water Heater Repair and Replacement |
| Households or businesses with no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, or an aging unit | We stock common units so same-day replacement is often possible; tankless options available for better efficiency |
| Sewer and Main Line Service |
| Homes or businesses with slow drains throughout the property, backups, or foul odors | Camera inspection shows exactly what is happening inside the line before any digging starts |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any situation where waiting until tomorrow would cause serious damage or leave a home without water | We move fast on emergency calls; knowing where your main shutoff valve is located can limit damage before we arrive |
| Tree-Root Sewer Line Service |
| Older Lenexa neighborhoods with mature trees and recurring slow drains or backups | Catching root intrusion early keeps the job to a clearing and minor repair rather than a full line replacement |
| Faucet and Fixture Installation |
| Homeowners updating fixtures or dealing with drips, leaks, and worn hardware | Dripping faucets are almost always a straightforward repair; we carry common parts on the truck |
| Water Softener Installation |
| Homes on the local municipal supply dealing with scale buildup, shortened fixture life, or water heater efficiency loss | Hard water is common in this part of Kansas; a softener protects the whole plumbing system over time |
| Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal |
| Homeowners and businesses with slow or fully blocked drains | Hydro jetting clears grease and mineral buildup that snaking only punches through; worth it on repeat clogs |
| Toilet Repair and Installation |
| Homeowners and landlords dealing with a constantly running, leaking, or failing toilet | A running toilet can waste thousands of gallons before it gets fixed; a quick repair call pays for itself fast |
| Leak Detection and Repair |
| Anyone noticing unexplained water damage, high water bills, or damp walls | We locate the source before opening anything up, which limits the repair footprint and keeps costs down |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older homes with repeated leaks, discolored water, or pipes that have simply reached the end of their service life | PEX is flexible, corrosion-resistant, and often faster to install in tight spaces; we walk you through the options before any work begins |
| Sump Pump Installation |
| Johnson County homeowners with basements at risk of flooding during heavy rain | Clay-heavy soil and flat terrain in this area mean water moves slowly; a working sump pump is critical before storm season |
| Slab Leak Detection and Repair |
| Homeowners noticing warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or moisture near the foundation | We trace the leak before opening the slab, which keeps the repair targeted and limits disruption to your home |
How do I know if my water heater needs to be repaired or replaced?
Age is the first thing we look at. A tank water heater that is more than ten to twelve years old and showing problems is usually a better candidate for replacement than repair. If the unit is younger and the issue is a failed element, a bad thermostat, or a faulty valve, a repair often makes sense. When we arrive, we give you an honest assessment of both options and the cost of each so you can decide. We never push a replacement when a repair is the right call.
What is the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
A tank water heater stores a set volume of hot water and keeps it ready. A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the system, so you are not maintaining a tank of hot water around the clock. Tankless units tend to have lower operating costs over time and deliver a continuous supply of hot water, which matters in larger households. The upfront cost is higher and the installation is more involved. We walk you through both options based on your usage, your budget, and what your current setup can support.
How do you find a leak that is not visible?
We use pressure testing and listening equipment to narrow down where the leak is before opening any walls or floors. On slab leaks, we use detection methods that let us pinpoint the location without unnecessary demolition. Once we find the source, we explain exactly what we found and what the repair involves before we start. Straight answers about your pipes and fixtures, no surprises, is the standard we hold ourselves to on every leak call.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We offer same-day scheduling for most calls and respond fast when a plumbing emergency cannot wait. When you call, you reach someone local who can get a plumber moving.
How do tree roots get into a sewer line, and what does the repair involve?
Roots follow moisture, and a sewer line is a reliable source of it. Over time they work into small cracks or loose joints, grow inside the pipe, and eventually slow drainage or cause a full backup. We clear the intrusion, then run a camera inspection to see how far the damage has spread and whether the pipe wall is still structurally sound. If the damage is limited, a clearing and targeted repair handles it. If roots have caused significant structural failure, we replace that section of line. Catching it early almost always keeps the job smaller.
Why is my water pressure low throughout the house?
Low pressure that affects every fixture at once usually points to the pressure regulator, the main shutoff valve, or a supply line issue rather than a single fixture. A failing pressure regulator is one of the most common causes we see. Mineral buildup in older pipes can also reduce flow over time. We diagnose the source, explain what we found, and repair or replace the component that is causing the problem. If the pressure issue is tied to aging pipes throughout the home, we will tell you that too and explain your options.
When should I call a plumber instead of trying to fix it myself?
Simple things like a slow drain you can clear at the surface or a running toilet with an obvious flapper issue are reasonable DIY attempts. But if the problem is inside the wall, under the slab, in the main line, or involves the water heater or gas supply, calling a plumber is the right move. Work performed by licensed plumbers ensures the repair meets code and does not create a bigger problem down the line. If you are unsure, a quick call to describe the situation costs nothing and helps you decide.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We tell you what the job costs before we start, and we hold to that price. If something changes mid-job, we explain it before we proceed.
Are you available for same-day or emergency plumbing calls?
Yes. We offer same-day availability for most calls throughout Lenexa and Johnson County, and we respond fast to genuine emergencies like burst pipes, sewer backups, and complete loss of hot water. When you call, you reach someone who can assess the situation and get a plumber scheduled. If it cannot wait, tell us that when you call and we will treat it accordingly.
What are the signs that a sewer or main line has a problem?
Multiple slow drains throughout the home at the same time is one of the clearest signals. So is a gurgling sound from a toilet when you run a sink nearby, sewage odors coming up through floor drains, or a drain that backs up every few weeks despite clearing. Any of those patterns points to the main line rather than an individual fixture. A camera inspection is the most reliable way to see exactly what is happening inside the line, and we use that information to recommend the right repair.
Work Performed by Licensed Plumbers
Every job, from a faucet swap to a full repipe, is handled by licensed plumbers. We bring that same level of care to every address we visit.
Do I need to be home when the plumber arrives?
Yes, we do ask that someone be available to let us in, point out the problem, and approve the price before we start work. If you are a property manager coordinating access for a tenant, just let us know the arrangement when you call. We work with landlords and property managers across Johnson County regularly and can work around the details you set up.
How does pricing work, and will the quote change once work begins?
We give you a clear price before any work begins, and we stick to it. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the job, we stop and explain what changed before we proceed. You will not see surprise charges at the end of a visit. Our approach is built on honest recommendations on repairs, never an upsell, and that carries through to how we handle cost conversations on every job.
How long does a whole-home repipe typically take?
Most whole-home repipes on a standard single-family home take one to three days depending on the size of the house, the material being used, and how accessible the existing pipes are. PEX is often faster to run than copper in tight spaces. We give you a realistic time estimate before we start and keep you informed as the job progresses. Water is restored before we leave each day where possible, and we test the full system before the job is closed out.
