Need a plumber in Corpus Christi for a water heater, a gas line, a sewer connection or a stubborn leak? Start with the plumbers listed below. Compare their ratings, then request a quote from any listing using the quote form.
Corpus Christi's homeowner permitting guide draws a clear line. A plumbing permit is needed to install a gas or electric water heater, add water lines, connect to sewer lines, extend or alter gas piping, install or replace a drain or vent, or add an irrigation system or backflow preventer. Fixing leaks in drain or water pipes, clearing a stoppage, or removing and reinstalling a fixture without changes doesn't need one. Permitted work is inspected at rough-in, top-out and final. Homeowners can pull a trade permit for their own homestead, but the city says new or altered natural gas service must be permitted and installed by a plumber with a state license.
For the state check, the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) suggests getting the company's Responsible Master Plumber license number, which starts with "M," and looking it up on the TSBPE license search to confirm it's current and that insurance is on file.
