Find a licensed plumber in Texas
From hard-water heater swaps in Houston to slab leak detection in Plano, Texas plumbing is regional. Get matched with a plumbing pro in your ZIP and verify the required TSBPE license before hiring.
Licensed Texas plumbing contractors — slab leaks, water heaters, drain cleaning, repipes, and emergency burst-pipe response.
Texas plumbing problems often start below the slab, inside aging supply lines, or around water heaters stressed by hard water. A small leak can become flooring damage, mold risk, or a higher water bill if it is ignored.
Use this page when you need help with leaks, clogs, sewer line symptoms, water heater failure, repipes, fixture installation, or urgent pipe repair. The request is routed by ZIP so a local plumber can review the job context before calling.

FAQ
Are Texas plumbers licensed at the state level?
Yes. The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) licenses all plumbers operating in Texas at master, journeyman, and tradesman levels. Anyone working on plumbing systems for compensation must hold a current TSBPE license.
How fast can a Texas plumber arrive for an emergency?
During business hours, most Texas metros see 60–120 minute arrival on emergency calls. Overnight and post-freeze calls in winter can stretch to 6–12 hours due to citywide demand spikes.
What does a typical plumbing service call cost in Texas?
$85–$150 just to dispatch, plus parts and labor for the actual work. After-hours calls run $200–$400 dispatch. Specific repairs range from $250–$650 for visible leaks to $1,800–$9,000 for slab leak reroute or full repipe.
