Commercial Plumbing in Texas Requires the Right Contractor.
Plumbing in Texas is licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE), not TDLR. A company that offers plumbing work must operate under a Responsible Master Plumber, who pulls the permits and answers for the work done under that license. Commercial jobs add requirements most residential plumbers rarely touch: grease interceptors sized to city rules for food service, testable backflow assemblies that must be tested by a TCEQ-licensed tester, and medical gas piping that only endorsed plumbers may install.
BidBridge Texas matches business owners, property managers and general contractors with verified commercial plumbing contractors — licensed where Texas requires it and insured — who have experience with your building type, from restaurant kitchens to dental suites.

Commercial Plumbing Questions, Answered.
What license does a commercial plumber need in Texas?
Plumbing is licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE). Plumbing work is done by licensed master or journeyman plumbers, with registered apprentices working under supervision, and any company that offers plumbing must operate under a Responsible Master Plumber who can pull permits and is responsible for the work. Look up the license on the TSBPE website before you sign.
Who can test my backflow preventer?
A backflow prevention assembly tester licensed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Under TCEQ rules, assemblies that protect against health hazards, such as reduced pressure zone (RPZ) assemblies, are tested at installation and at least every 12 months, and the tester files a signed test report your water utility tracks. Fire-line assemblies are tested by a licensed tester employed by a registered fire sprinkler contractor.
Does my restaurant need a grease interceptor?
Almost certainly. Texas cities require food service establishments to install and maintain grease traps or interceptors through their plumbing code and a fats, oils and grease (FOG) or pretreatment ordinance, and many review the design before installation. Sizing and location rules vary by city, so ask bidders which city requirements they priced and whether the interceptor is indoors or in-ground.
Who can install medical gas piping?
Only a Texas journeyman or master plumber holding TSBPE's Medical Gas Piping Installation Endorsement, working under a Responsible Master Plumber who also holds the endorsement. Ask dental and medical bidders whether they do this work themselves or subcontract it, and for the endorsed plumber's license number.
Should I hire a plumber directly or go through a general contractor?
If the work is plumbing only, such as a backflow replacement, a repipe, a water heater or a sewer repair, post it as a commercial plumbing project and hire the plumbing contractor directly. If plumbing is part of a buildout with walls, ceilings and finishes, a general contractor usually carries the plumber as a subcontractor.
