Plumbing Repair in Dallas, TX

When your pipes start leaking, your toilet won't stop running, or your water heater suddenly goes cold, you need a plumber you can trust. Plumbing problems don't wait for business hours, and neither does Mack's Plumbing. We've been solving residential plumbing issues across Dallas and the surrounding areas since 2021, and we bring over 20 years of hands-on plumbing experience to every job we tackle.

Whether it's a small drip under the sink or an emergency gas leak that needs immediate attention, our approach is straightforward: listen to your concerns, diagnose the problem accurately, explain what needs to happen, and fix it right the first time. We're not here to upsell you on services you don't need or leave you guessing about what's wrong with your plumbing. We're here to solve your problem and get your home running smoothly again.

Common Plumbing Repairs We Handle

Residential plumbing issues come in all shapes and sizes. Some are minor annoyances that still need attention. Others are urgent emergencies that can damage your home if not addressed quickly. Here are the repairs we see most often in Dallas homes:

• Leaky faucets and dripping fixtures - A drip that seems small can waste thousands of gallons of water annually and drive up your water bill
• Toilet repairs and replacements - Running toilets, clogs, leaks at the base, and flapper problems are among the most common household plumbing issues
• Pipe leaks and burst pipes - Leaks can occur anywhere in your system, from supply lines to drain pipes, and early detection saves money on water damage
• Water heater failures - Tank water heaters typically last 8-12 years; tankless systems offer another option for endless hot water
• Garbage disposal repair and replacement - Jammed disposals, strange noises, and drainage problems often require professional attention
• Gas line issues - Any suspected gas leak requires immediate professional inspection and repair for safety
• Shower and bathtub repairs - Leaky valves, clogged drains, and pressure problems are common in bathrooms
• Kitchen plumbing issues - Clogged or slow drains, under-sink leaks, and dishwasher connections all fall within our wheelhouse

What Makes Plumbing Repair Different from DIY

The temptation to fix things yourself is real, especially when you want to save money. But plumbing repairs are different from hanging a picture or unclogging a drain with a plunger. Here's why professional plumbing repair matters:

Most residential plumbing systems are interconnected. A repair that looks simple on the surface might involve code compliance, permits, or system interactions you can't see. Using the wrong repair method or materials can create bigger problems down the road. What starts as a small leak can become water damage in your walls or flooring if the underlying issue isn't correctly identified and fixed.

Licensed plumbers like ours have the training, tools, and experience to diagnose problems accurately. We understand how your plumbing system works as a whole, not just the one fixture that's acting up. We know Dallas building codes and can ensure repairs are done to code. We also carry insurance, which protects both you and us if something unexpected happens during the repair.

How We Diagnose Your Plumbing Problem

When you call Mack's Plumbing for a repair, we don't just show up with tools ready. We take the time to understand what you're experiencing and ask the right questions:

• When did the problem start?
• Have you noticed any changes in water pressure or water quality?
• Are there any other symptoms, like strange noises or odors?
• Have you had any work done on your plumbing recently?

These details help us narrow down what's actually happening before we ever pull out a wrench. Once we're on-site, we inspect the affected area thoroughly. For leaks, we look for water damage, puddles, and discoloration. For slow drains, we might use a camera to see what's really blocking the line. For water heater problems, we check temperature, pressure, and age to determine whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.

We'll walk you through our findings step-by-step. You'll understand what's wrong, why it happened, and what it'll take to fix it. No jargon, no hidden issues revealed after we've already started work. Transparency is how we do business.

Leak Repair and Pipe Replacement

Leaks are one of the most common residential plumbing repairs, and they're also one of the most damaging if ignored. A leak might be hidden behind a wall, under the floor, or inside a cabinet, which means water damage can occur without you knowing until it's expensive.

Water supply line leaks typically come from corrosion, physical damage, or joint failure. Drain line leaks happen when pipes crack or connections loosen. The location and severity of the leak determine whether we can simply seal and repair it or whether the section of pipe needs to be replaced.

For leaks caught early, a repair might involve re-sealing a joint, replacing a valve, or patching a small hole. For older homes or cases where pipes are corroding, we often recommend replacement of the affected section or the entire line. Copper, PEX, and PVC each have their advantages, and we'll explain which material makes sense for your situation.

If you suspect a leak behind a wall or under your floor - maybe you've noticed soft spots, staining, or an unusually high water bill - don't wait. The longer water sits in your walls or under your home, the more damage it causes. Call us as soon as you notice something's wrong.

Water Heater Troubleshooting and Repair

Cold showers happen to everyone eventually, and usually at the worst time. Before you assume your water heater is dead, there are several things that could be causing the problem:

No hot water at all - Check if the heater has power (electric) or gas (if it's a gas unit). If the pilot light is out on a gas heater, it might simply need to be relit. If you're seeing error codes on a tankless unit, that's a diagnostic message telling you what needs attention.

Lukewarm water - The thermostat might be set too low, the heating element might be failing, or sediment buildup inside the tank might be reducing efficiency. Flushing the tank can sometimes restore performance.

Water that smells bad - A metallic or sulfur-like smell usually means bacteria in the tank or a failing anode rod. This is treatable, though it might signal the tank is aging.

Strange noises - Popping, rumbling, or banging sounds typically indicate sediment buildup or a failing heating element. A water heater making noise isn't just annoying - it's working harder and less efficiently than it should.

Leaking or pooling water - This is the one that usually means the tank needs replacement. A leak from a connection might be fixable, but a leak from the tank itself means the unit has reached the end of its life.

Tank water heaters last 8-12 years on average in Dallas. If yours is approaching that age and acting up, replacement might make more sense than repair. Tankless water heaters offer an alternative - they heat water on demand and never run out of hot water, though they cost more upfront.

We'll inspect your water heater, identify what's causing the issue, and let you know whether repair or replacement is the right call for your situation and budget. If financing is a concern, we offer flexible options to make the choice less stressful.

Toilet Repairs

A running toilet doesn't just waste water - it can waste hundreds of gallons monthly without you realizing it. Most toilet problems fall into a few categories:

A constantly running toilet usually means the flapper valve in the tank isn't sealing properly. The flapper is an inexpensive part, but it requires the tank to be opened and accessed. A simple repair, but not quite a DIY job for most people. A toilet that runs intermittently might have a fill valve issue or a slow leak into the bowl.

Clogs are common, and a plunger fixes most of them. But if plunging doesn't work, the clog might be deeper in the drain line or caused by something that shouldn't have been flushed. We can use a snake or camera to see what's actually clogged and clear it properly.

Leaks at the base of the toilet or between the tank and bowl are usually seal problems. The wax ring under the toilet might have failed, or bolts might need tightening. These repairs require removing the toilet, which most homeowners prefer to leave to professionals.

Weak flushing, phantom flushing, or a toilet that won't flush fully can point to water supply issues, fill valve problems, or internal component failures. We'll diagnose which part isn't working right and repair or replace it.

Faucet Repair and Replacement

A leaky faucet might seem minor, but it's one of the easiest problems to fix and one of the most costly to ignore. A steady drip can waste 3,000 gallons of water per year. Over months or years, that adds up on your water bill and in your environmental impact.

Faucet leaks most commonly come from worn washers, seals, or cartridges inside the faucet body. Replacing these internal components can restore function. If the faucet is old, corroded, or damaged beyond simple internal repair, replacement is often the better option.

Beyond leaks, faucets can develop low pressure, sprayers that don't work, handles that don't turn smoothly, or aesthetic issues that bother you. A new faucet isn't just a repair - it's an upgrade that changes how you use your sink.

We work with quality faucet brands and can help you pick a replacement that matches your style and budget. Whether you need a simple replacement or a complete kitchen or bathroom sink upgrade, we handle it professionally.

Gas Line Repairs and Safety

Any suspected gas leak is an emergency. Natural gas is odorless, so utility companies add a distinctive smell to it so leaks are detectable. If you notice that rotten egg smell anywhere in your home, evacuate immediately and call your gas company and then call us.

Gas line issues might include hissing sounds near pipes, dead or discolored patches of grass or plants near your home's exterior, or that telltale smell. A gas leak isn't just dangerous - it's also expensive in terms of wasted fuel and potential damage.

Our licensed technicians can inspect gas lines, identify leaks, and repair them safely. We follow all code requirements and ensure the repair is done right. After any gas line work, we'll verify everything is sealed properly and safe.

Garbage Disposal Repair and Replacement

Garbage disposals make kitchen cleanup easier, but they also require care. They shouldn't handle bones, hard pits, fibrous vegetables, grease, or non-food items. Even with proper use, disposals eventually wear out.

A jammed disposal usually happens when something solid gets wedged in the chamber. Never reach into a disposal, even if it's off. We can safely clear the jam and get your disposal running again. If your disposal is making strange grinding noises, leaking, or won't turn on at all, the internal components might need repair or replacement.

New disposals are affordable and easier to install than many homeowners realize. If yours is years old and repeatedly having problems, replacement often makes more sense than continuing to repair it.

Protecting Your Home with Regular Maintenance

While we're experts at repairing plumbing problems after they happen, the best approach is preventing them in the first place. Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive ones.

Have your water heater flushed annually to remove sediment and extend its life. Check under sinks periodically for leaks. Listen for strange sounds or drips. Know where your main water shut-off valve is located so you can stop water flow quickly if a burst pipe occurs.

If your home is older or you've experienced plumbing issues before, periodic inspections can identify developing problems. We can look at your system, spot potential concerns, and recommend preventive repairs.
