Ways we can help
Water heater repair and installation
Tank and tankless water heaters that leak, run cold or have reached the end of their life are repaired, replaced or installed new by the plumber you hire.
Drain cleaning
Slow sinks, blocked tubs, backed-up laundry drains and stoppages in the main line each point to a different part of the system, and clearing them starts with finding which one it is.
Leak detection and slab leaks
Water that escapes under a slab, behind a wall or in the line from the meter to the house leaves few signs. Detection locates the leak first, so that only the damaged section is opened and repaired.
Sewer line repair
Inside the sewer line, a camera shows whether roots, a broken joint or a sagging section is the trouble, so the fix is clearing, repairing or replacing as the picture requires.
Repiping and water lines
Whole-house repipes replace the water lines inside the walls, while a new water service line brings fresh pipe from the meter to the house, so the work can be as big or as small as your plumbing needs.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Fixture work includes running toilets, dripping faucets, worn shower and tub valves, seized washer box valves and garbage disposals that jam, with each fixture repaired or swapped on its own.
A permit for any plumbing alteration or repair
Cedar Hill requires a permit for any alteration or repair of a building system, and its permit page names plumbing alongside electrical, mechanical and irrigation systems. The same page sends residents to the city’s online portal to apply and to schedule inspections.
Each service page on this site adds the permit points that fit that kind of work, from water heaters to sewer lines.
Two contracts behind your tap and drain
Cedar Hill runs on two contracts, one with the City of Dallas for its drinking water and one with the Trinity River Authority to treat what goes down the drain.
Where the city’s pipes end and yours begin is spelled out on the leak detection, sewer line and repiping pages.
Finding the master plumber on the state search
Plumbers in Texas are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which runs a Find-a-Plumber map built on its License Search. Ask the plumber you hire for the Responsible Master Plumber’s license number and check it there.
Names, license numbers, cities and counties all work in the License Search, which makes it easy to confirm the person or the number you were given.
Cedar Hill homes by build year
Cedar Hill’s housing stock has a middle point of 1994, meaning half of its houses were built in or before that year. Before 1980 come around 14 in every 100, and before 1960 about 3 in every 100.
To see how your house compares, open the sewer line age checker among the free tools below and enter the year it was built, since it begins on Cedar Hill’s own figures.
Our process
Call and tell us the problem
Your call starts with the problem, whether that is a leak, a drain that will not clear or a heater that has stopped working. The plumber you hire notes the details of the problem and uses them to shape the estimate.
Ask for the plumber’s estimate
The plumber you hire gives that estimate at no charge after hearing about the problem, and whether the work goes ahead is your decision alone.
The work at your home
The plumber you hire does the work at your home. Cedar Hill takes permit applications and inspection requests through EnerGov Customer Self Service, and on a plumbing job those requests are the Responsible Master Plumber’s to make.
Free plumbing tools
Calculators and checkers sit under the Plumbing tools menu item, free to use whenever a question comes up. Start with the freeze risk checker if January cold worries you, or the sewer line age checker if you wonder how your build year bears on the pipes under the house. When a replacement heater is being weighed, the size calculator and the tankless flow calculator work from your household’s showers and appliances, while the serial number decoder gives an existing heater’s age from its data plate.
Frequently asked questions
Can I do my own plumbing at home?
Yes. An owner plumbing their own homestead is outside the Texas license requirement, and the city permit described above still covers the work.
Do pipes freeze in Cedar Hill?
Yes. With January lows near 35°F, Cedar Hill gets around 26 days a year at freezing or below, and pipes in an attic, garage or outside wall are the exposed ones.
Has Cedar Hill adopted the International Plumbing Code?
Yes. The 2021 International Plumbing Code, with local amendments, was adopted in Cedar Hill through ordinance 2025-847.
Does Cedar Hill keep track of backflow devices?
Yes. The city requires every backflow device to be registered with its Public Works Department and tested each year by a registered, state-licensed backflow tester. A new installation may need a plumbing permit from Building Inspections.
