Ways we can help
Water heater repair and installation
Repair, replacement or a first-time install, for tank and tankless heaters alike. A water heater is the one appliance Irving asks a permit for when it is swapped, and the page explains the rule.
Drain cleaning
Slow kitchen sinks, backed-up tubs and showers, laundry drains and the main sewer line. The page covers which drain is acting up and where the outside cleanout fits in.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs and in the yard line. In Irving the city repairs leaks up to the water meter, so the page sorts out which side of the meter a leak falls on.
Sewer line repair
Root clearing, repair of one section or full sewer line replacement, depending on the line.
Repiping and water lines
Options range from repiping every room to replacing single runs or putting in a new water service line, and the page walks through each.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Faucets that drip, toilets that run, shower valves and garbage disposals, repaired or replaced.
Irving’s own water utility and Lake Chapman
Irving Water Utilities is the city’s own water utility. Most of Irving’s water is pumped from Lake Chapman, where Irving holds water rights, to Lewisville Lake, and the City of Dallas treats it for Irving.
Some treated water is bought from Dallas to supplement the lake supply. Dallas treats and sells water to Irving, but the utility that runs Irving’s system is Irving Water Utilities.
Your side of the water meter
The City of Irving repairs leaks up to the water meter. All pipelines and devices on the customer’s side of the meter are the responsibility of the customer, so a leak past the meter is the owner’s to have repaired.
Where a leak sits in relation to the meter decides who repairs it, which makes locating the leak the first step. The leak detection page in the menu goes further into how that search works.
Water heaters are the permit exception
Irving’s residential guidelines leave fixtures and appliances at their existing connections without a permit, except water heaters. The water heater page has the details.
The age of Irving’s housing
For close to 4 in every 10 Irving homes the build year falls before 1980, for a little over 1 in 10 it falls before 1960, and for half it falls in or before 1986.
Your own house’s build year is the figure that counts. Enter it in one of the free tools further down this page and it shows the sewer and water line materials that were standard in that era.
Our process
Call and tell us the problem
Start by phoning the number on this page and telling us in your own words what is wrong at your home.
Get the plumber’s free estimate
The call is free, and the plumber you speak with offers a free estimate that is personalized and without obligation. Look it over and decide at your own pace.
The repair at your home
Once you have looked over the estimate and agreed to it, the repair at your house is the work of the plumber you hire, not of this site.
Free plumbing tools
Free planning tools live on the tools page. For a replacement heater there is the water heater size calculator, and for a tankless one the tankless flow calculator. The serial number decoder dates an existing heater, the freeze risk checker looks at pipes in cold weather, and the sewer line age checker works from your home’s build year.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do my own plumbing at home?
Yes. A property owner does not need a Texas plumbing license to do plumbing on their own homestead. The permit section above names the item Irving singles out.
Does a plumber working on my home need a license?
Yes. Anyone doing plumbing in Texas must carry a license or registration on the job, and the Responsible Master Plumber’s number is the one that covers the whole job. Request that number and check it on the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners License Search.
Do pipes freeze in a typical winter?
Yes. Pipes in Irving face about 21 freezing days a year, and January nights average 36°F. The pipe freeze risk checker takes the rooms and walls your pipes pass through and rates how exposed they are.
