"...I know Justin said that he was going to have to fix your hot water heater.”

“Yeah. I figured there would be plenty of things I would have to get taken care of almost right away. I did manage to get to the grocery store and pick up a few things, but I’m thankful you brought me over some stuff. Why don’t you stick around and enjoy a beer with me?”

A woman moved to a rundown house and needed to renovate it. What did the writer use "get taken care of" instead of "take care of"?
 
She would not take care of them herself. She would arrange for someone to take care of them.
 
What did the writer use "get taken care of" instead of "take care of"?
I would use "Why" there. (Instead of "What".)
