“Modern tradesmen” isn’t a slogan for us—it’s how we work. When you open the door, you should see a pro who’s prepared, respectful of your home, and clear about the plan. That’s the standard at Gotta Guy Plumbing & Home Services.
Today’s best plumbing blends skilled hands with smart tools: real diagnostics, photos/video, up-front options, and clean installs that last. Whether you’re in Wichita or nearby—Maize, Goddard, Andover, Derby, Haysville, Park City, or Bel Aire—you’ll get the same straight talk and tidy work.
From Clay Pipes to Code: A Short Plumbing History
Plumbing’s been improving comfort and health for thousands of years. Early societies used clay and lead piping to move water and waste; Roman aqueducts set the bar for distribution and public baths. Centuries later, cast-iron soil stacks brought sturdier drainage to dense cities. By the late 1800s and into the 20th century, standardized traps/vents and municipal sewers made indoor plumbing practical—and safer—for homes.
Today’s codes are the distilled lessons of all that history: protect drinking water, pull waste away quickly, vent properly, prevent cross-connections, and size systems to the home. That’s the backbone of every job we do.
What to Expect from a Gotta Guy Tradesman
- Respect for your home: Floor protection, boot covers, neat tool setup, and a full cleanup when we’re done.
- Real diagnostics: We verify the complaint, identify root causes, and share photos/video so you can see what we see.
- Clear options & pricing: Repair vs. replace, timelines, warranties—no pressure; just pros/cons so you can choose.
- Code-compliant, tidy installs: Labeled shutoffs, proper venting/traps, smart routing, and documented testing.
- Communication: You’ll know who’s coming, what we’re doing, how long it takes, and what it costs—before we begin.
Don’t see your issue listed? If water runs through it, we handle it— drain cleaning, sewer line service, water heaters, and water filtration.
Modern-Day Plumbing Practices We Use Daily
- Camera inspections & locating: We scope drains to find roots, offsets, or bellies—then mark depths/locations so fixes are precise, not guesswork. See Sewer Line Service.
- Right materials for the run: PEX and copper water lines sized for pressure and fixtures; PVC/ABS for drainage with proper fall and venting.
- Trenchless & spot repairs: When conditions allow, we minimize digging and target the failing section to protect landscaping and hardscapes.
- Efficient hot water: Correctly sized tank or tankless systems, set up for safe venting, combustion air, expansion tanks, and scald protection.
- Water quality: Carbon filtration, conditioners, or softeners sized to Wichita’s hardness and your goals—installed with labeled bypass loops for easy service. Learn more in our Water Quality guide.
- Sump systems & backups: Primary pumps tested and right-sized, with battery or water-powered backups and sloped discharges to keep basements dry during storms.
Built for Wichita Homes
Our crews see it all: older lines with tree roots, clay/cast laterals, slab homes with tight access, and new builds with high-efficiency fixtures. We recommend the right tools for Wichita’s mix—camera inspections for repeat clogs, cleanouts for faster maintenance, and proper sizing on tanks or tankless.
Water quality varies across the metro. We size filtration & conditioners to protect fixtures and improve taste/feel—installed with labeled bypass loops for easy service.
Tip: If several fixtures gurgle or back up at once (especially the lowest drain), that’s a main-line warning sign. Avoid running appliances and call—early intervention saves mess and money.
Repair or Replace: Honest Guidance
We’ll tell you when a targeted repair is the best use of your dollars—and when a replacement will save money, headaches, or water over the next few years. You’ll always see the pros/cons, timelines, and warranties before you decide.
Prefer fewer surprises? Our Preventative Maintenance Plans include an annual whole-home plumbing check and priority scheduling. When it can’t wait, we offer emergency service across Wichita and nearby cities.
When to Call (Don’t Wait Too Long!)
- Multiple slow drains, gurgling, or sewage odors
- Water near the heater or in the pan
- Ceiling stains, swollen baseboards, or musty smell
