Before you sign
What to ask a San Antonio contractor first
- 01
If a homeowner-supplied faucet is used, who carries responsibility for missing parts, poor castings or a later warranty claim?
- 02
Does the visit also cover the P-trap, tailpiece and basket strainer, since leaks below the bowl are often mistaken for faucet drips?
- 03
Which valve type is fitted — cartridge, ball, ceramic disc or compression — and are matching parts still made for that model?
Before anyone touches a pipe
Verify the licence. It takes two minutes.
- Who licenses the work: Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE).
- Who pulls the permit: City of San Antonio Development Services — the licensed contractor, never the homeowner.
- What to ask for: the licence number, the registered name behind it, and an insurance certificate issued to the property address.
Answers first
Faucet & Sink in San Antonio — common questions
Is a dripping faucet actually worth fixing?
Yes — a steady drip wastes a meaningful volume over a year, and the same worn seat that drips is usually also scoring the valve body. Catching it early keeps it a cartridge replacement instead of a fixture replacement.
Why is water pressure low at only one faucet?
A single fixture usually means a clogged aerator or a partially closed or failing angle stop, not a house-wide pressure problem. Aerator cleaning is the first thing to rule out.
Can I supply my own faucet?
Many contractors will install an owner-supplied fixture but will not warrant the fixture itself. Ask how it affects the labour warranty before buying.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in San Antonio?
Permits in San Antonio are issued by City of San Antonio Development Services. As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.
Is PlumberTexas a plumbing company?
No. Independent licensed professionals perform and contract the work directly with you. PlumberTexas routes the request and links every page to the official Texas licence register.
Does PlumberTexas charge homeowners anything?
No. PlumberTexas may be compensated by a partner when a homeowner connects with a professional through the site. That never changes what the contractor charges for the job.
Does calling create any obligation to hire?
None. A call or a callback request is a conversation, not a contract. Scope, timing and price are only agreed if you decide to proceed with the professional handling San Antonio.
Are night and weekend calls handled differently in San Antonio?
Requests route around the clock, but most contractors price after-hours work differently. Ask for the after-hours rate and a committed arrival window before agreeing to a dispatch.
