Residential Plumbing in Rockwall, TX — Repairs, Repiping & More

Your home's plumbing is the backbone of daily life, and when it fails — a slab leak you can hear but can't see, a water heater that won't recover, a toilet that runs constantly and inflates your water bill — you need a plumber who gets there fast and gets it right the first time. Larry's Plumbing has been doing residential plumbing in Rockwall and North Texas since 1970. Justin Zmolik carries that same standard today as a Texas Responsible Master Plumber (License #41106).

We see two broad categories of residential plumbing work. The first is reactive: something failed and you need it fixed now. The second is proactive: you're renovating a bathroom, replacing a water heater before it fails, repiping before galvanized pipes cause a water-damage emergency, or getting a camera inspection before buying a home with unknown drain infrastructure. We handle both, and we approach both the same way — diagnose first, quote before we start, no surprises.

For reactive repairs, our most common residential calls are: running toilets (flapper and fill valve replacement that can save 200+ gallons per day), leaking faucets (cartridge or seat-and-spring replacement on all fixture brands), supply line failures behind appliances (dishwasher supply lines and washing machine hoses that have aged and started weeping), and active slab leaks. We carry the most common parts for all of these on our trucks.

For proactive plumbing, the two projects that deliver the most long-term value in Rockwall-area homes are repiping and camera inspection. Homes built before 1985 often have galvanized steel supply pipes that are past their rated service life — the rust-colored water and restricted pressure are symptoms, but the real risk is a pipe failure behind a wall or under a slab that causes serious water damage. Repiping with PEX or copper eliminates that risk for the next 40–50 years. Camera inspection of drain lines before a renovation tells you whether you're building on a sound system or setting yourself up for a bigger problem later.

Every residential job — regardless of size — includes upfront written pricing before we start, cleanup when we finish, and our workmanship guarantee on the repair. We treat every home like our own.
