Plumbing Problem in Sherman? One Call Reaches a Local Plumbing Company.

Call (903) 467-5880

Sherman Plumbing Guys is a referral service, not a plumbing company. When a drain backs up, a water heater quits or a pipe starts leaking, you can call one number or send one short form. We take down what's going on and pass it to an independent plumbing company that works in your part of Grayson County. That company calls you, looks at the job, quotes it and does the work if you hire it.

We also publish plain information about plumbing in Sherman and Denison: which jobs need a city permit, what common repairs tend to cost nationally, what the February 2021 freeze taught local homeowners about exposed pipes, and how to check a plumber's Texas licence before anyone starts. Every local fact on this site links to the city, county, state or federal page it came from.

Plumbing in Sherman homes: what the numbers say

Sherman's housing is older than many people expect. Census Bureau estimates (ACS 2024 5-year) put the median year built for housing in the city at 1980, with about 49.5% of Sherman's roughly 19,800 housing units built before 1980. In Denison the median year built is 1967, and about two of every three homes are from before 1980. Older homes can still have original galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drains or clay sewer laterals, which is why a camera look or a pressure test is often the first step on a repeat problem.

Sherman's tap water comes from Lake Texoma, treated at the city's surface water plant, plus 22 city wells drawing on the Trinity and Woodbine aquifers, according to the city's 2025 water quality report. Denison runs its own system from city-owned Lake Randell, with storage rights in Lake Texoma.

Both cities issue plumbing permits. Sherman adopted the 2021 International Plumbing Code in February 2024 and requires plumbing contractors to be registered with the city and to hold an active licence from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Ask whoever you hire who will pull the permit.

Questions we get a lot

Is Sherman Plumbing Guys a plumbing company?

No. We're a referral service. We pass your request to an independent local plumbing company, which quotes and performs the work. We don't perform plumbing work or hold a plumbing licence.

What does the referral cost me?

Nothing. We don't charge homeowners. You pay only the plumbing company you choose to hire, at the price it gives you.

How do I check a plumber's licence in Texas?

Ask for the Responsible Master Plumber's licence number and look it up with the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (tsbpe.texas.gov).

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Sherman?

Sherman requires a permit to repair, alter or replace regulated plumbing, and lists water heater replacement as permitted work. Plumbing permits are $75 plus $30 per additional inspection.

What about Denison permits?

Denison's fee table lists $50 for a residential water heater replacement and $50 for a residential sewer or water service line replacement. Applications go through MGO Connect.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve, turn off the water heater, open a low faucet to drain the lines, and move belongings out of the way. Then call for a repair.

Leak, clog or no hot water?

Call or send the form. We'll pass your request to an independent local plumbing company, and that company gives you its own price.
