Toilets
Toilet trouble has a short list of causes: the fill valve, the flapper, the wax ring or the bowl itself. The plumber works out which one it is from what the toilet is doing.
Toilet, Faucet and Fixture Repair in Irving
Toilets, faucets, shower valves and garbage disposals are the household fixtures covered on this page. Say which one is failing, and the plumber at the other end provides a free estimate from your description.
It also gives the state’s list of fixture jobs that need no permit, and mentions the annual test Irving requires for backflow assemblies.
Fixtures and parts
Faucets
Kitchen and bathroom faucets drip or lose pressure when a cartridge, washer or aerator wears out. Some are repaired, and others are replaced with a new faucet, depending on the model and its condition.
Shower and tub valves
A shower valve that runs hot and cold, sends water to the spout and the head at once or leaks behind the wall may need a new cartridge or a replacement valve.
Garbage disposals
When a disposal only hums, leaks beneath the sink or drains slowly, the unit or the drain connection under it is the place to look. Repair or replacement follows from what the plumber finds.
Swapping a fixture and the permit rule
Swapping a water closet, a garbage disposal, ballcocks or water control valves, or lavatory or kitchen faucets needs no permit in Texas, and neither do leak repairs. Moving a fixture or adding a new one is a different job from replacing one at its existing connections.
The state list does not name shower or tub valves, so this page does not say whether swapping one needs a permit.
Backflow assemblies and the annual test
Irving’s Ordinance #8140 requires every customer with a backflow prevention assembly to have it tested each year. A newly replaced or installed assembly needs a plumbing permit verified before it is tested.
Drain cleaning and leak detection are explained on their own pages, and the homepage has the whole list of services.
