Ways we can help
Water heater repair and installation
Repair, replacement or a new tank or tankless install. A heater in or opening to a garage has an Arlington height rule, and a replacement needs a city permit and an inspection.
Drain cleaning
From a slow kitchen sink to a main line that backs up, drains get cleared. The plumber you hire also looks for what caused the blockage.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Leaks inside walls, under slabs and in yard lines are traced with meter checks and pressure tests, and then the plumber repairs the pipe or replaces the section that failed.
Sewer line repair
A camera goes into the line first, so the plumber can see roots, breaks or sags before choosing between clearing, a spot repair and a new line. In Arlington the owner’s part of the sewer line reaches the main.
Repiping and water lines
New supply pipes for the whole house or a single run, and a new water line from the meter. Arlington Water Utilities publishes a service line inventory map for the city.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Running, dripping and jammed fixtures are repaired or replaced. Some swaps need no city permit in Arlington, and relocating a fixture can change that.
Your sewer lateral reaches the main in Arlington, Texas
Arlington holds the property owner responsible for the sewer lateral, the pipe running from your house to the public main, up to and including the tie-in. The sewer line page shows what the city checks first when a drain backs up.
A water heater in the garage
In Arlington, replacing a water heater that sits in a garage, or opens into one, means raising it to 18 inches off the floor. That holds for electric and gas units alike, and the water heater page explains why the city asks for it.
The city also names water heater replacement among the projects that need permits and inspections.
When a repair becomes new work
A city permit depends on what happens to the pipe. Stopping a leak or clearing a stoppage does not need one if nothing in the line is replaced or rearranged, but putting new material in place of a defective concealed pipe does, and an inspection follows. The leak detection and repiping pages show where the line falls.
Checking the plumber before you pay
Arlington’s tips for hiring a contractor include looking the plumber up on the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners license search, asking whether the contractor is pulling the permit, and choosing to pay based on inspections the city has approved.
The city also requires a contractor to be registered as a business with it in order to obtain permits. Registration does not say anything about reputation, and the property owner stays ultimately responsible for work on the property.
The Responsible Master Plumber’s name and number belong on the first page of an estimate or invoice, along with the words “regulated by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners”, as 22 TAC 367.10 asks.

The size calculator and the serial number decoder work from details you type in. Arlington or Fort Worth can be the starting point for the freeze risk checker, for the sewer line age checker and for the tankless flow calculator, so nothing needs looking up first.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do my own plumbing at home?
Yes. Texas does not require a state license when someone plumbs in their own homestead. The work on the job still has to follow Arlington’s permit rules.
Does Arlington, Texas use lake water?
Yes. Arlington Water Utilities runs two treatment plants, Pierce-Burch and Kubala, that produce about 19 billion gallons a year from surface water such as Lake Arlington. The city also takes part in the Tarrant Regional Water District.
Can pipes freeze in Arlington, Texas?
Yes, on about 24 days a year when Arlington drops to 32°F or lower. The January low averages 36°F, and the pipes at risk are outdoor spigots and those in unheated spaces.
Does Arlington, Texas use a plumbing code?
Yes. Arlington adopted the 2021 International codes by a council vote on November 1, 2022, and the 2021 International Plumbing Code is part of the city’s Plumbing Chapter.
