When plumbing goes sideways, you want a nearby pro who shows up, explains the fix in plain English, and gets it done right—clean and code-compliant. That’s how Gotta Guy Plumbing & Home Services serves West Wichita every day. From long-time neighborhoods near Westlink to newer builds around NewMarket Square—and friendly service to Maize and Goddard—we handle everything from slow drains to full replacements with straight answers and tidy work.
Our approach is simple: verify the issue, show you exactly what we found, and offer options that fit your home, your timeline, and your budget. If it can be repaired safely and smartly, we’ll repair. If replacement is the better value, we’ll lay out the why. Either way, you approve the price before we start.
What We Fix Most in West Wichita
Most calls across 67205, 67212, and 67209 fall into a few reliable buckets. If any of these sound familiar, we can help today:
- Drain cleaning: Slow sinks, tubs, or showers—and main-line backups. We clear the line with the right tool for the blockage and, when needed, add a camera inspection to pinpoint roots, offsets, or bellies so the fix is targeted, not guesswork.
- Water heaters: No hot water, lukewarm showers, or water at the base of the tank. We service gas and electric units, replace aging tanks, and install high-efficiency tankless when it makes sense for your usage and gas sizing.
- Leaks & pipe repair: Drips under sinks, damp drywall, or surprise bursts. We isolate the source quickly, make the repair neatly, and protect cabinets, floors, and finishes.
- Toilets & fixtures: Running toilets, rocking bowls, sticky handles, dripping faucets, and shower valve issues. We repair where smart, replace where it saves money long-term.
- Water quality: Hard water leaves scale on fixtures and shortens appliance life. We size filtration & softeners for Wichita water and your taste goals—installed with labeled shutoffs and clean by-passes for easy service.
- Sump pumps & drainage: Heavy rains can expose grading and footing drain problems. We service sump pumps, add battery backups, and advise on simple exterior improvements that help keep basements and crawlspaces dry.
- Garbage disposals & kitchen upgrades: Jammed or noisy disposals, under-sink leaks, and dishwasher or ice-maker connections—installed clean and tight with proper traps and air gaps.
Don’t see your issue listed? We cover all things plumbing—if water runs through it, we can repair it, replace it, or improve it.
How We Work (Simple & Transparent)
- Easy scheduling: Backups, no-hot-water, and active leaks get priority. You choose the time window that works.
- Real diagnostics: We verify the complaint, identify root causes, and share what we find—photos or video when useful—so you can make a confident decision.
- Upfront options: You’ll see repair vs. replace choices, realistic timelines, and warranty details. No pressure—just the facts and pros/cons.
- Clean workmanship: Floor protection, tidy runs, correct venting, labeled shutoffs, and full functional testing. We haul away old equipment when we replace it.
- No surprises: You approve the price before we begin, and if something unexpected appears behind a wall or under a slab, we pause and talk first.
West Wichita Drains & Sewers: Good to Know
Many West Wichita neighborhoods include mature trees and, in some areas, older clay or cast-iron laterals. That combination can invite root intrusions, joint offsets, or low spots that collect debris. If clogs repeat, a camera inspection is the fastest way to stop guessing and see what’s really happening underground. We’ll show you the video, mark locations, and explain your choices in plain language.
When the line is structurally sound, a precise cleaning is often all that’s needed. When repair or replacement is the smarter long-term move, we’ll outline trench vs. trenchless options and how we protect landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks during the work. We also talk through cleanout access—adding a proper, code-height cleanout can make future maintenance quicker and less expensive.
Tip: If several fixtures gurgle or back up at once (especially the lowest drain), that’s a main-line warning sign. Shut off water, avoid running appliances, and call—early intervention saves mess and money.
Repair or Replace: Honest Guidance
Whether it’s a water heater, a failing shutoff, a leaking valve, or a tired fixture, 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.

Service Areas & Projects We Love
We’re based in Wichita and work all over the west side—Westlink, Auburn Hills, and neighborhoods off 13th, 21st, and Maple—plus Maize and Goddard. Typical day? A main-line cleaning with a camera map in the morning, a water-heater swap at lunch, and a sump-pump + battery backup before the evening storms roll in.
