Texas plumbers need your help. As of Sept 1 there is no longer a board/license for plumbers in the state of Texas. We need Gov. Abbott to call special session to fix this.

Less government regulation is better in some situations. But when it comes to the health and safety of our drinking water and sewage there needs to be regulations. Plumbers also do natural gas and medical gas for hospitals, dentist and even vets, definitely dont nees less regulations in those departments. Also any registered apprentice, tradesmen, journeyman and master plumber is background checked every year when they renew thier lic. Isn't that a piece of mind when you call a plumber to your house?

where's the clause for standardize pricing to prevent continued price gouging?!

The state board was a failing agency, the bill to go to TDLR failed there was no safety net.

No now you can get price gouged from a unlicensed non insured handyman. You always have the right to refuse service.

There already is.

Plumbers and pipefitters local 100 is the one in Dallas.

I am not a member, it may be plumbers and steamfitters.

They are also the air conditioning union in Dallas, But all the union contractors are commercial.

I had an unfortunate experience with an AC guy. He cut my roof rafters to show horn a unit into my attic, among a few other gross negligent practices. Reported him to the TDLR, and all they did was cover their behinds.

Was just using a licensed plumber today. I’ve seen two house floods from handyman “plumber” this year. Not sure what the reasoning is about this but makes no sense to me
