Faucet Installation Services

Texas plumbers must be licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE). You can verify any license at https://www.tsbpe.texas.gov/verify. Look for either a Journeyman or Master Plumber license, plus liability insurance.

Emergency plumbing typically costs $100-$200 for a service call, plus parts and labor. After-hours and weekend rates are usually 1.5-2x standard rates. For major emergencies like slab leaks or sewer line issues, expect $500-$5,000+ depending on complexity.

Water heaters typically last 8-12 years. If yours is over 10 years old and needs major repairs, replacement is often more cost-effective. Standard water heater replacement runs $800-$1,500 installed. Consider tankless options ($2,500-$4,500) for better efficiency.

Signs of slab leaks include: unexplained high water bills, warm spots on floors, sounds of running water when nothing is on, cracks in walls or flooring, and musty odors. Slab leak detection costs $150-$400, and repairs range from $500-$4,000.
