Questions about Dallas
Who supplies water in Dallas?
Dallas Water Utilities draws from several reservoirs, including Lake Ray Hubbard, Lewisville Lake and Lake Tawakoni. Billing and water quality questions go to them. For leaks inside your home, a plumber is the right call.
Who do I call about a power outage or gas smell?
Electricity comes from Oncor, which delivers power for the retail electric provider you choose and natural gas from Atmos Energy. Report outages to the utility. If you smell gas, leave the building first and call from outside.
Do repairs in Dallas need a permit?
Many do, including most electrical, plumbing, heating and roofing work. Permits are handled by the City of Dallas Development Services department, and the pro doing the work usually pulls them.
How do I check a contractor here?
Texas licenses plumbers through the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which has an online license search. Texas licenses electricians through TDLR, the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and licenses can be checked online. Ask for license or registration details and look them up before work starts.
Can I use this if I rent?
Yes, but many repairs are the landlord's responsibility. Tell your landlord in writing, and check with them before scheduling work on the building.
If you're not sure which trade fits your problem, call anyway and describe it. We'll tell you if it sounds like a job for someone else.

VendorReach is a referral service, not the company that does the work. When you call or send a request, we connect you with an independent service company who sets the price and schedules the visit. It's fine to ask for a written estimate first. The pro gives you a price before any work starts, and it's your call whether to go ahead.
