Ways we can help
Water heater repair and installation
A tank or tankless heater that needs repair, replacement or a fresh install begins with your call describing the unit and the trouble it is giving you.
Drain cleaning
A slow sink, a tub that backs up or a clogged floor drain is traced to the fixture or to the line it shares, then cleared. The call is where the estimate begins.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Leaks inside walls and ceilings, under a slab or along a yard line are located before anything is opened up, so the repair goes to the right section of pipe.
Sewer line repair
Sewer line trouble is looked at with a camera, then dealt with by clearing roots, repairing one section or replacing the line, whichever the camera shows is needed.
Repiping and water lines
Replacing every supply pipe, one failing run or the line from the meter to the house all begin with a call about what the pipes are doing.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Say which fixture is failing and how it is acting up, and the plumber on the other end gives a free estimate for either repairing it or putting in a replacement.
Any plumbing job, one online portal
Rowlett Building Safety wants a permit before any type of plumbing work, and its page names cosmetic work as needing none.
Permits and inspections are both requested through the city’s MyGov online portal, whatever the plumbing job turns out to be.
Lake Lavon water from the Wylie plant
Rowlett’s tap water starts in Lake Lavon, is treated by the North Texas Municipal Water District at its plant in Wylie, and is then stored and piped through town by the city’s Water Utility Division.
A license number worth looking up
Plumbing licenses in Texas come from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. There are four kinds, for tradesman plumbers, journeyman plumbers, master plumbers and plumbing inspectors, and each kind has to be renewed annually.
The board’s online License Search accepts a name, a license number, a city or a county.
When Rowlett’s houses went up
Rowlett’s homes lean newer, with about 1 in every 10 built before 1980 and half built in or before 1997.
Fewer than 1 in every 100 homes date from before 1960. The free tools further down this page open on Rowlett’s own figures, and you can type your home’s build year into the sewer line age checker.
Our process
Call and tell us the problem
Call and describe what is going on at your house, from a dripping water heater to a drain that will not clear.
The plumber’s free estimate
After you describe the house and the problem, the plumber on the call gives a free estimate that fits both. Nothing obliges you to go ahead, so the decision is yours alone.
The repair at your home
Any permit the job needs comes from the Responsible Master Plumber in charge of it, and that plumber also requests the inspections the plumbing codes call for.
Free plumbing tools
A Rowlett household with a failing heater has three tools to try, the tankless flow calculator, the size calculator and the serial number decoder, and two more cover other worries, the freeze risk checker for a cold snap and the sewer line age checker for an older drain line. All five are free.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do my own plumbing at home?
Not quite. Plumbing in the home you own and live in as your homestead needs no state license, yet Rowlett’s permit for any type of plumbing still applies to the job.
Can I check whose license the job is under?
Yes. Ask the plumber for the license number of the Responsible Master Plumber, since anyone who offers plumbing in Texas must have one, then look it up on the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners License Search.
Has Rowlett adopted the 2021 plumbing code?
Yes. Rowlett has adopted the 2021 International Plumbing Code and the 2021 International Residential Code, both with local amendments.
Does a backflow assembly need testing?
Yes. Rowlett’s code has every backflow prevention assembly on a premises tested at least annually by a city-registered certified tester, and the owner pays for, installs, maintains and repairs the assembly.
Do Rowlett’s pipes face freezing weather?
Yes. Freezing or colder weather arrives about 25 days a year in Rowlett, and January lows average 36°F, so attic, garage and outside-wall pipes are the ones at risk.
