What We Can Connect You For
From a dripping faucet in Faith Village to a sewer line collapse off Kemp Boulevard, tell us the problem and we will point you at a plumber who handles that kind of work.
Burst supply lines, pinhole leaks in copper, and split PEX after a hard freeze. If water is actively running, shut off the main at the street before anyone arrives.
Wichita Falls water is hard, and scale kills heaters early. Repairs, flushes, and full replacements on both tank and tankless units.
Slow tubs, gurgling toilets, and kitchen lines packed with grease. Ask for a camera inspection first so you know whether it needs a cable or a full jetting.
Warm spots on the floor and a water bill that jumped for no reason. Proper acoustic and thermal detection finds it before any concrete gets cut.
Older Wichita Falls neighborhoods still run cast iron and clay. Camera and locate first, then repair, with trenchless methods where the yard allows it.
Running toilets, dripping tubs, garbage disposals, and hose bibs. Small jobs still deserve a written quote before work starts.
New ranges, outdoor kitchens, pool heaters, and generator hookups. Gas work must be pressure tested and permitted through the City of Wichita Falls.
If you are patching a leak every few months, galvanized or polybutylene pipe is the real problem. A repipe should come with a fixed price and a written schedule.
Local Knowledge
Plumbing problems here are not random. They follow the housing stock, the water, and the weather. Knowing the pattern helps you describe the problem accurately and avoid paying someone to guess.
Wichita Falls draws from surface reservoirs and the supply carries a heavy mineral load. That scale settles on heating elements and the bottom of the tank.
The sign: a rumbling or popping sound during heating, and hot water that runs out faster than it used to. If the unit is past eight years old, ask whether a flush is still worth it before paying for one.
North Texas gets short, sharp freezes rather than a long cold season, so homes here are built with less pipe insulation than colder states.
The sign: no water at one fixture after a cold snap, then a flood when it thaws. Exterior walls, attics, and uninsulated crawl spaces are where it happens. Hose bibs are the most common single failure point.
Most homes built here since the 1960s sit on a concrete slab with supply lines running underneath it.
The sign: a warm patch on the floor, the sound of water running when every tap is off, or a city bill that jumps with no change in habits. Check the meter dial with everything shut off. If it moves, you have a leak.
Faith Village, Country Club, and Floral Heights still have plenty of galvanized supply lines and cast iron drain lines that are past their service life.
The sign: brown or rusty water on first draw, weak pressure that got worse gradually, and repeat leaks in different spots. At that point patching costs more over time than repiping.
Mature pecans and oaks on established streets send roots straight into the joints of old clay sewer pipe.
The sign: multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling when the washer empties, or a patch of lawn that is suspiciously green. Insist on a camera inspection before anyone quotes a dig.
Our clay soil shrinks hard in a dry Texas summer and swells again when the rain comes. That movement stresses pipe joints under and around the slab.
The sign: new leaks or drain problems that show up after a long dry spell breaks. Consistent foundation watering through summer genuinely reduces this.
How It Works
Call or fill in the form. Describe the problem in your own words and give us your zip code so we know which part of the area you are in.
We pass your request to a licensed plumber who covers your area and handles that type of work. One plumber, not a list that calls you all week.
The plumber contacts you to confirm timing and price. You deal with them directly from that point, and you are free to say no.
Before You Hire Anyone
Most plumbing complaints in Texas are not about the repair itself. They are about the price changing, the license that was never checked, and the permit nobody pulled. Here is what to look for, whoever you end up hiring.
| What to check | Good sign | Walk away if |
|---|---|---|
| Texas license | Gives you an RMP or M number you can verify with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners | Will not give a number, or says their boss holds it and cannot tell you whose |
| The quote | Written, itemized, and given before any work starts | Verbal only, or a number that changes once the wall is open |
| Diagnosis | Camera or leak detection used before quoting a dig or a repipe | Recommends replacing the whole line after a two minute look |
| Insurance | Carries liability cover and can produce a certificate on request | Gets defensive when you ask, or says it is not needed for small jobs |
| Permits | Pulls City of Wichita Falls permits for gas, sewer, and water heater work | Offers to skip the permit to save you money |
| Payment | Deposit on large jobs only, balance when the work passes | Wants the full amount in cash up front before starting |
| Warranty | Written warranty covering both parts and labor | Warranty is verbal, or covers parts but not the labor to fit them |
You can verify any Texas plumbing license for free at the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. It takes about a minute and it is worth doing every time.

Check My AddressQuestions
It depends entirely on the job, and anyone who quotes a firm number over the phone without seeing it is guessing. What you should insist on is a written, itemized quote after the diagnosis and before any work begins. Ask specifically whether the rate changes for evenings and weekends, because many local companies apply an overtime multiplier after 5pm and most do not mention it until the invoice.
No. We are a referral service for Wichita Falls homeowners. We take your request and pass it to a licensed Texas plumber who covers your area and does that type of work. The plumber handles pricing, scheduling and the work itself, and warranties it directly with you. We do not perform plumbing work ourselves.
We only refer plumbers who hold a current Texas Responsible Master Plumber license, and you should still verify it yourself. Ask for the RMP or M number and check it against the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners register. It is a free public lookup and takes about a minute. Any legitimate plumber will hand you the number without hesitating.
Shut off the water at the main before you do anything else. In most Wichita Falls homes the shutoff is either at the meter box near the street or on the exterior wall closest to the street side. Turn the water heater off too if the supply has stopped, because an element running dry will burn out. Then call. Do not wait for a callback to start shutting off water.
That is the classic sign of a slab leak, which is common here because most Wichita Falls homes sit on a concrete slab. Other clues are warm spots on the floor and the sound of running water when everything is off. Test it yourself first: turn off every fixture, then watch the meter dial. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere. A plumber should then use acoustic or thermal detection to pinpoint it before any concrete gets cut.
A reasonable rule of thumb: under eight years old with a failed element, thermostat, or valve is usually worth repairing. Over ten years old with rust in the hot water or a leak from the tank body itself means replacement, because the tank is corroding and no repair fixes that. Our hard water shortens heater life locally, so a unit that made it past twelve years here has already beaten the average.
For most repairs, no. For water heater replacement, gas line work, sewer line replacement, and repiping, yes. The permit is pulled by the licensed plumber, not by you. If a contractor offers to skip it to save you money, that is a red flag: unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell the house and can void an insurance claim.
Yes. Restaurants, offices, retail units, and rental properties across Wichita Falls are covered, including grease line jetting, backflow testing, and scheduled maintenance for property managers. Mention it is commercial when you make the request so we route it to a plumber set up for that work.
