How we rank Tyler plumbers

Every score comes from information you can check yourself. Companies do not pay to be ranked, and missing information scores zero rather than being guessed. Scores are out of 10:

  • ✓Google reviews (3.5 pts): rating adjusted for review count, so a few perfect reviews cannot outrank a thousand strong ones, plus credit for review volume.
  • ✓Texas plumbing license (1.2 pts): a master plumber license number published by the company and active on Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) records. A license we matched to the company only through state records earns half credit.
  • ✓BBB and years in business (1.8 pts): BBB accreditation and rating, and how long the company has operated locally.
  • ✓24/7 service and specialties (2.0 pts): emergency availability stated on the company’s own site, and the range of services it offers.
  • ✓Pricing and guarantees (1.5 pts): upfront or written pricing, free estimates, financing, a satisfaction guarantee, and a clearly stated service area.

Every company listed holds a plumbing license that showed Current on TSBPE records when we checked. Ratings change daily; numbers here were checked October 2026. Own a company on this list? Send us your license number, BBB profile or service details and we will re-check your score.

Tyler Plumbing

Common plumbing problems in Tyler

Tyler gets far more rain than West Texas, and it sits in the Piney Woods with some of the most mature tree canopy in the state. That is beautiful, but it is hard on sewer lines. Older brick homes in established neighborhoods often still have original cast-iron or clay drains, so root intrusion and drain backups are among the most common plumbing calls in Tyler.

Tree roots in sewer lines

Pines and oaks send roots toward the moisture in sewer lines. Slow drains in several fixtures, or gurgling toilets, often mean roots. A camera inspection confirms it.

Older cast-iron and clay drains

Many established Tyler homes still have their original drain lines. Ask a plumber to inspect them before a remodel or sale.

Storm drainage and sump issues

Heavy East Texas rains can overwhelm yard drainage and back water toward the house. Grading, French drains, and backflow protection can help.

Water heater and fixture work

From tankless upgrades to fixture replacement, make sure the plumber is licensed and pulls permits where required.

Before You Hire

What to check before hiring a plumber in Tyler

In Texas, plumbing work must be done by a licensed plumber or under one's supervision. Here is what to confirm, whether you go through us or not.

  • An active Texas plumbing licenseAsk for the license number and look it up on the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners website (tsbpe.texas.gov). Master, Journeyman, and Tradesman-Limited plumbers are licensed by the state.
  • Proof of insuranceLiability coverage protects your home if something goes wrong during the job.
  • A written estimateGet the price, scope, and any trip or after-hours fees in writing before work starts.
  • Permits where requiredWater heater replacements, repipes, and sewer work often need a permit from the City of Tyler. A licensed plumber should know when one is needed and pull it.
  • A warranty on laborAsk how long the work is guaranteed and what happens if the problem comes back.
  • Recent local reviewsLook for reviews that mention the type of job you need, not just a star rating.

FAQ

Questions about plumbers in Tyler

How do I know if tree roots are in my Tyler sewer line?

Common signs: several drains slowing down at once, gurgling sounds, sewage odors in the yard, or a backup in the lowest drain in the house. A licensed plumber can run a camera through the line to confirm roots and recommend clearing, lining, or replacement.

Is TrustedProsTX free for Tyler homeowners?

Yes. There is no cost to you and no obligation to hire. We only share your information with the plumber we match you with.

How do I check a plumber's license in Texas?

Go to the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners website, tsbpe.texas.gov, and search by name or license number. Make sure the license is active and the right type for the job.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Tyler?

In many Texas cities, yes. Rules vary, so ask your plumber or call the City of Tyler's building inspection office. A licensed plumber should handle the permit as part of the job.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

A burst pipe, sewage backing up into the house, no water at all, or a gas smell near a gas water heater. Shut off the water (or gas) at the main and call right away. For a suspected gas leak, leave the house first and call your gas company or 911.
