Under the 2024 IRC, replacing a defective concealed water, drain, waste, or vent pipe with new material is new work that needs a permit and inspection (R105.2, Plumbing item 1). The Plumbing License Law does not apply to an individual doing plumbing work on their own property of residence (59 O.S. 1017(6)); local permits and inspections still apply. Cities and towns may require state-licensed plumbing contractors to register locally and may charge fees for plumbing permits and inspections (59 O.S. 1020). In an incorporated city or town without an adopted plumbing code and inspector, anyone subject to the Plumbing License Law must notify the Construction Industries Board of the work (59 O.S. 1010(H)).
