Frequently asked questions

Is PlumberDallas.com a plumbing company?

PlumberDallas.com is a Dallas plumbing resource with free guides and a way to request help. Work is performed by independent licensed plumbers, who confirm scope, schedule, and price directly with you.

How do I check a plumber’s license in Texas?

Use the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners license search at tsbpe.texas.gov and confirm the license belongs to the person or company doing your work.

How much does a plumber cost in Dallas?

It depends on the job. Our cost guides show published ranges with sources; always get a written estimate.

What should I do in a plumbing emergency?

Shut off the main water valve, keep away from wet electrical areas, stop using drains during a backup, and leave the house if you smell gas.

Why does my drain keep clogging?

Usually partial clearing of buildup or a problem in the main line. See our guide on recurring clogs.

Does a high water bill mean a slab leak?

Not necessarily. Running toilets and irrigation are common causes. Do the meter test first.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

A leaking tank or an older heater with repeated failures is usually worth replacing; a failed part on a newer unit is usually repairable.

Do plumbing jobs in Dallas need permits?

Many do, including water heater replacement, sewer, gas, and repiping. Ask your plumber who pulls the permit.

What can a sewer camera inspection show?

Roots, cracks, sags, offsets, and buildup, with the location and depth of problems.

Can I use chemical drain cleaners?

It is best to avoid them; they can damage pipes and endanger anyone who opens the drain later.
