“Water line replacement in Texas requires a licensed plumber and proper permits. I handle all of that — so the work is legal, inspected, and won’t cause problems when you sell your home.” — Mark
How do I know if my main water line is leaking?
Key signs: a water bill that spikes without a usage change, wet spots or unusual green patches in your yard, reduced water pressure throughout the house, or the sound of running water when everything is off. Check your water meter with all water off — if the indicator moves, you have a leak.
Does water line replacement require a permit in Texas?
Yes. Water line replacement requires a permit in Texas, and the work must be performed by a licensed plumber. Mark handles all permitting as part of the job — you don’t need to do anything except let us get to work.
What is polybutylene pipe and should I replace it?
Polybutylene (PB) pipe was commonly installed in homes from the 1970s through the mid-1990s. It degrades over time and is prone to failure. If your home has PB pipe, proactive replacement is strongly recommended — waiting for a failure means water damage on top of repair costs.
How long does a main water line replacement take?
Most residential main water line replacements take 1–2 days depending on the length of the run, soil conditions, and whether landscaping needs to be worked around. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe in the estimate.
