Ways we can help
Water heater repair and installation
Whether a tank or a tankless heater is being fixed, swapped or put in fresh, Rockwall requires a city permit for every installation, and the water heater page walks through the points the inspector looks at.
Drain cleaning
Slow and clogged kitchen, bath, laundry and main drains are cleared, with the method chosen to suit where the blockage sits.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, yard lines and under the slab are located and then repaired.
Sewer line repair
Camera inspection shows what is wrong inside a sewer line, whether roots, a broken section or a failing pipe, and the line is then cleared, patched or replaced.
Repiping and water lines
Whole-house repipes replace the supply lines throughout, and a single run can be replaced on its own. A new water line to the house belongs to the same work.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Faucets, toilets, shower valves and disposals are repaired or swapped, and fixtures can be added or moved where the layout allows.
A permit for every water heater installation
Rockwall requires a permit for all water heater installations. Plumbing, mechanical and electrical work also appear on the city’s list of residential projects that need a permit.
Reservoir water treated at Wylie
Several reservoirs feed Rockwall’s tap water, Lavon, Jim Chapman, Texoma and Tawakoni among them, and the city buys it already treated from the North Texas Municipal Water District’s Wylie plant.
The master plumber named on your estimate
The first page of a Texas plumbing estimate names the Responsible Master Plumber, gives that license number and says the work is regulated by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Before the job is booked, check the number on the board’s License Search.
If your estimate leaves it out, ask the plumber for the Responsible Master Plumber’s number. The board’s License Search will bring up the license, and it also searches by name, city or county.
Rockwall’s young housing
Half of Rockwall’s homes date from 2003 or earlier, and those built before 1980 come to fewer than 1 in every 10.
Newer houses still have the same traps, faucets, valves and water heaters as older ones, and any of them can leak or wear out. The free tools further down this page take a build year, a household size or a serial number to narrow a problem down.
Our process
Call and tell us the problem
Phone the number printed on this page and explain what has gone wrong in your own words, from a leak or clog to a failing water heater.
Get your estimate
The plumber who takes your call offers a free estimate with no obligation to go ahead, and you can ask for the Responsible Master Plumber’s license number before the work is booked.
The repair at your home
At your home, the work itself is done by the plumber you hire. Texas gives the permit and the inspection request to the Responsible Master Plumber on the job, whenever the city requires one.
Free plumbing tools
Which tool fits depends on the question. Exposed pipes call for the freeze risk checker, a tankless unit for the tankless flow calculator, a sewer line of unknown age for the sewer line age checker, a replacement tank for the size calculator and an old heater for the serial number decoder.
Frequently asked questions
Can a homeowner do their own plumbing?
Yes, in one case. Texas makes one exception to its license rule, for an owner doing plumbing in their own homestead, and a water heater put in that way still needs Rockwall’s installation permit.
Are all pipes in a heated house safe from a freeze?
No. Pipes in an attic, an unheated garage or an outside wall are exposed to the cold, while pipes inside heated walls carry a lower risk.
Who is responsible for testing a backflow device?
The property owner, for commercial, retail or industrial property, homeowner associations, and properties with a fire protection system or another hazard. Installs and repairs need a licensed tester and a City permit.
