Plumbing Services in Springfield, MO
Springfield's Locally Owned Plumbing Team Since 1978
Springfield is where Lorenz got its start in 1978, and it’s still where most of our work happens today. From the 1920s-era homes in Rountree and Phelps Grove to newer subdivisions on the south and east sides, we’ve worked on just about every type of plumbing system this city has. Whether you’re dealing with a leaking water heater, a backed-up drain, or aging pipes that need replacing, our team handles it — and we’ll give you an honest assessment of what actually needs to be done.
Springfield sits on Ozarks limestone, which means hard water is a fact of life here. That mineral buildup affects water heaters, supply lines, and fixtures over time. If you’ve noticed reduced water pressure, white scale on faucets, or a water heater that’s not lasting as long as it should, hard water is likely a factor. We see it every day in Springfield homes, and we know how to address it.

What We See in Springfield Homes
Springfield has one of the widest ranges of housing ages in southwest Missouri. That means we work on everything from original cast iron drain lines in homes near the university to PEX systems in brand-new construction off south Campbell. Here’s what drives most of our plumbing calls in Springfield:
- Galvanized pipe replacement: Homes built before the 1960s throughout Rountree, Phelps Grove, Doling, and Midtown often still have galvanized steel supply lines. These pipes corrode from the inside out, reducing water pressure gradually until one day it’s a trickle. Repiping with copper or PEX is the permanent fix.
- Water heater service: Springfield’s hard water is tough on water heaters. We’re a Bradford White and Navien dealer — Bradford White for traditional tank heaters, Navien for tankless. If your water heater is more than 8–10 years old and you’re in a hard water area (which is most of Springfield), it’s worth having us take a look before it fails.
- Sewer lateral issues: Older Springfield neighborhoods often have clay tile sewer laterals connecting to the city main. Tree roots find every joint. We can camera the line, locate the problem, and give you options — from spot repair to full replacement.
- Emergency calls: A burst pipe at 2 AM doesn’t wait for business hours. We respond to emergencies across Springfield and can usually have someone to your home the same day
We offer 0% financing for 24 or 36 months with approved credit through Wells Fargo and Wisetack for larger projects like repiping, water heater replacement, and sewer line work. You can prequalify online.

General
FAQs
How do I know if my Springfield home has galvanized pipes?
If your home was built before the early 1960s and hasn’t been repiped, there’s a good chance you still have galvanized steel supply lines. Signs include gradually declining water pressure, rusty or discolored water when you first turn on a faucet, and visible corrosion on exposed pipes in the basement or crawl space. We can inspect your system and let you know what you’re working with — no charge for the estimate.
Does Springfield’s hard water affect my plumbing?
Yes. Springfield’s water comes from surface sources treated by City Utilities, but the Ozarks limestone geology means mineral content is naturally high. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits build up inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures. This reduces water flow, shortens water heater lifespan, and causes scale buildup on faucets and showerheads. A water softener is the long-term solution — we install and service water softener systems and can test your water hardness during any service call.
Do you offer financing for plumbing work?
Yes. We offer 0% interest financing for 24 or 36 months with approved credit through Wells Fargo and Wisetack. You can prequalify online. This applies to water heater replacements, repiping, sewer line work, and other larger plumbing projects.
