Ways we can help
Sewer line repair
Slow drains all over the house or sewage at a floor drain call for a look inside the pipe, and the answer may be a root cut, a spot repair or a whole new line out to the street.
Water heater repair and installation
Repair or replacement of a tank heater and installation of a tankless unit are all on offer. In DeSoto, a water heater that is replaced or added counts as permit work.
Drain cleaning
A slow kitchen sink, a tub that holds water, a washer that backs up and a main line that will not drain each point to a different spot in the pipes. The plumber finds which one it is and clears it.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Hidden water shows itself through a climbing bill, a stained wall or a floor that feels warm. Tracing narrows the source to a wall, the slab or the line in the yard.
Repiping and water lines
Repiping can swap out every supply line in the house or just one bathroom’s worth, and a fresh line can be laid from the meter.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Whether the trouble is a toilet, a faucet, a shower valve or a disposal in a DeSoto house, the choice is between repairing it and putting in a new one.
Water from Dallas, wastewater to the Trinity River Authority
Every gallon DeSoto delivers is bought from Dallas, and the wastewater leaving DeSoto homes is collected and treated under a purchase arrangement with the Trinity River Authority.
Replacing or adding a water heater
DeSoto’s Building Inspection Division lists water heaters, replaced or added, among the projects that need a permit. Its inspections page puts water heater replacement beside fences, carports and swimming pools as work that takes both a permit and an inspection.
Checking a plumber’s license
The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners is the body that issues plumbing licenses, so the plumber who takes the job can give you the Responsible Master Plumber’s license number to look up.
License Search on the board’s site lets you enter a name, license number, city or county and confirm the number you were given.
Home ages in DeSoto
DeSoto’s homes were built across a range of years, with half built in or before 1993 and fewer than 2 in every 100 before 1960.
That middle year splits the town in two, and your house could land on either side. A free tool further down opens on DeSoto’s numbers and lets you enter the year yours was built.
Our process
Call and tell us the problem
Phone in with the trouble, whether a dripping valve or a drain that will not clear, and the estimate begins with that call.
A free estimate from the plumber you reach
The plumber you are speaking with offers a free estimate built around the problem you describe, so the call is the moment to ask what the work involves.
The work at your home
Someone you hire arrives and does the job. If DeSoto wants a permit for the work, the Responsible Master Plumber obtains it and asks for the inspections.
Free plumbing tools
Five free tools sit on this site for DeSoto households. The size calculator and the serial number decoder look at water heaters, the tankless flow calculator works out the flow a tankless unit has to deliver, the freeze risk checker rates pipes against winter lows, and the sewer line age checker starts from the year a house was built.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do my own plumbing?
Yes, in your own homestead. Texas exempts owners from its license requirement when the plumbing is in their own homestead. Permits are separate, and DeSoto still lists replacing a water heater as permit work.
Do contractors register with the city?
Yes. The City of DeSoto requires all contractors to register annually with its Building Inspections office. The state license is a different matter, and the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners License Search is where it gets looked up.
Does DeSoto get freezing weather?
Yes. Freezing weather reaches DeSoto on about 24 days a year, so the freeze risk checker is worth a look if some of your pipes run through an attic, a garage or an outside wall.
Does DeSoto have its own plumbing code rules?
Yes. The city works under the 2021 International codes and publishes 2021 plumbing code amendments on its adopted codes page.
