Permit scope

Repiping modifies plumbing pipes, which the City lists as permitted work (Planning & Development Guide). Expect a rough or pressure inspection of new piping while it is exposed, then a final.

Coordinating with drywall and slab work

Plan patching after the inspection. If lines are rerouted through the attic to avoid the slab, insulation for freeze protection is part of a good job; see protecting attic plumbing.

Service line replacement

Replacing the private line from the meter to the house is a separate scope; ask whether it is included.

Fees, required inspections and processing details change; confirm the current requirements with Dallas Development Services (Planning & Development) before work starts.
