How we rank Lubbock 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.

Lubbock Plumbing

Common plumbing problems in Lubbock

Lubbock's housing ranges from older homes near Texas Tech, many now rentals, to new subdivisions on the south and west sides. Hard water, clay soils, winter cold snaps, and heavy storms that flood flat streets all play a part in the plumbing calls Lubbock homeowners and landlords make most.

Hard water and water heaters

Scale buildup is one of the most common reasons water heaters fail early on the South Plains. Annual flushing and a softener both help.

Rental property plumbing

For landlords near campus, fast turnarounds on leaks, clogs, and water heaters keep tenants happy. Ask about a plumber who handles rentals regularly.

Winter freezes

Wind chills on the South Plains can freeze exposed lines quickly. Protect hose bibs, attic lines, and pipes in exterior walls before the first hard freeze.

Slab leaks

Shifting clay soil puts stress on lines under the slab. Electronic leak detection can find the problem without tearing up whole floors.

Before You Hire

What to check before hiring a plumber in Lubbock

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 Lubbock. 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 Lubbock

I own a rental near Texas Tech. What should I look for in a plumber?

Look for a licensed plumber who can respond quickly, provides written estimates, invoices clearly for your records, and is comfortable coordinating access with tenants. Ask if they offer maintenance checks between leases.

Is TrustedProsTX free for Lubbock 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 Lubbock?

In many Texas cities, yes. Rules vary, so ask your plumber or call the City of Lubbock'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.
