Permits, code & inspections — handled for you
When TX plumbing permits are required, what code governs your project, and how Tioga Plumbing handles the paperwork & inspection for DFW homeowners.
If a permit is required, we pull it.
Texas plumbing work follows the Uniform Plumbing Code as adopted by individual DFW municipalities, plus oversight from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Permits aren’t about red tape — they exist so somebody verifies the work and protects your home (and your resale).
As a licensed Texas Master Plumber (License M-13661), Tioga is authorized to pull permits on your behalf in every DFW jurisdiction we serve. You don’t make a single phone call. See the full list of Tioga licenses & certifications, or book a permitted job the easy way.
The most common DFW situations
Permit thresholds vary by city — we’ll confirm your specific case at the estimate.
-
New water heater install or replacement
Almost always required — especially when relocating, going gas-to-electric, or installing tankless.
-
Repipes (whole-home or partial)
Required. Inspection sequencing matters — rough-in, then top-out, then trim.
-
Slab leak repair via reroute
Required when the new line is exposed or runs above ceiling.
-
Sewer line replacement / spot repair
Required in most DFW jurisdictions; may include city-side tap inspection.
-
Gas line repair or new appliance line
Required — gas work always carries a pressure test inspection.
-
Simple fixture swap (faucet, toilet, disposal)
Generally no permit needed if no rerouting is involved.
Three steps, zero calls from you
-
Step 1
We pull the permit
Before the job starts, Tioga files for the permit in your city — Hurst, Fort Worth, Bedford, Grapevine, wherever you are. You don’t make a single call.
-
Step 2
We schedule the inspection
When the rough-in is ready, we coordinate with the city inspector and meet them on-site so they can sign off the work.
-
Step 3
You get the paperwork
Closed-out permit and the inspector’s signed card go with your final invoice. Good for resale; good for insurance; good for your peace of mind.
