What Counts as Minor Plumbing — What We Do vs. What Requires a Licensed Plumber

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and we believe in being transparent about it.

What DTX Handyman Handles

Minor plumbing covers repairs and installations that do not require permits, do not involve cutting into supply lines or drain pipes behind walls, and do not involve the main water line or sewer line. Specifically, we handle:

  • Dripping and leaking faucets (cartridge, washer, or stem repair)
  • Running toilets (flapper, fill valve, flush valve repair or replacement)
  • P-trap replacement under kitchen and bathroom sinks
  • Supply line replacement (the flexible lines connecting shut-offs to fixtures)
  • Shut-off valve replacement (accessible under-sink or behind-toilet valves)
  • Garbage disposal installation and replacement
  • Showerhead and tub spout replacement
  • Slow drain clearing (at or near the P-trap)
  • Caulking around sinks, tubs, and showers

What Requires a Licensed Plumber

Texas law requires a licensed plumber for work that involves:

  • New pipe installation or rerouting existing pipe runs
  • Water heater installation or replacement
  • Main water line or sewer line work
  • Any work requiring a permit
  • Deep drain clogs requiring professional snaking or hydro-jetting
  • Gas line work of any kind

If we assess your situation and determine it falls outside our scope, we will tell you clearly and can refer you to a licensed plumber rather than attempt work that is not safe or legal for a handyman to perform.

Hard Water and Minor Plumbing in Denton Homes

Denton, TX has some of the hardest municipal water in the United States. Scale buildup from calcium and magnesium is a root cause of many of the minor plumbing calls we receive throughout Denton, Plano, Garland, and Richardson. Hard water accelerates corrosion of supply lines and shut-off valves, causing them to fail years earlier than they would in softer-water cities. It clogs aerators and showerheads, reducing water pressure significantly. It degrades rubber flappers and cartridges faster than normal, leading to drips and running fixtures.

Understanding that hard water is driving many of these failures helps us diagnose problems quickly. When we replace a supply line or shut-off valve in an older Denton home, we expect to find corrosion and come prepared with the right parts. We also recommend inspecting adjacent components — because in a hard-water home, if one supply line has failed, its neighbor is often not far behind.
