Do I need a permit for plumbing fixture or repiping in Grapevine?
Yes. In Texas, plumbing fixture or repiping generally requires a permit, and Grapevine is no exception.
Re-piping a home water supply or drain lines requires a plumbing permit and must be performed by or under a licensed plumber in most Texas cities. Opening walls for the re-pipe can add a cover inspection before closing up. Confirm the required inspections with your local building department. Grapevine requires a permit for new water or drain and sewer piping. Once a concealed pipe becomes defective and has to be replaced, the replacement is treated as new work that needs a permit and inspection. Only stopping leaks, clearing stoppages, and removing and reinstalling a toilet without changing valves, pipes, or fixtures are exempt from a plumbing permit.
