Plan the plumbing first: kitchens in Aubrey and Denton County
A kitchen remodel is mostly decisions about what goes where, and plumbing quietly limits those choices. Vor-Tex Plumbing Co. handles kitchen plumbing for repairs and remodels in Aubrey and across Denton County, as part of our fixture and appliance plumbing work. Call (469) 552-2881 before the cabinets are ordered, not after.
What kitchen plumbing includes
| Item | What the plumbing involves |
|---|---|
| Kitchen sink | Supply stops, drain and trap, vent, and a faucet that suits the sink’s hole count |
| Garbage disposal | Drain connection and power; see garbage disposal |
| Dishwasher | Hot supply, drain with a high loop or air gap, and power; see dishwasher installation |
| Refrigerator ice maker or water dispenser | A small supply line with its own shutoff, placed where the refrigerator will actually sit |
| Pot filler | A cold line run to the wall above the range, set before the wall is closed |
| Drinking water tap or filter | A supply tee, a space under the sink, and sometimes a drain connection; see reverse osmosis systems |
| Gas range or cooktop | A gas line and shutoff at the right location; see gas line installation |
| Island sink | A drain and a vent that reach the island, which often means work under the floor |
Two visits in a remodel
Rough-in, before the walls and cabinets close
This is when the pipes move. We set supply and drain stubs, vents, and any gas stub for the new layout, and the locations need to match the cabinet drawings. A drain that lands behind a drawer box, or a supply that misses the dishwasher space, costs more to move after the wall is finished.
Finish, after cabinets and countertops
Once the counters are set, we install the sink, faucet, disposal, and dishwasher, connect the appliances, and test every connection. This visit is quick if the rough-in was right.
Questions to settle before the cabinet order
- Is the sink staying put? Moving a sink a few feet is easier than moving it across the room.
- Which side does the dishwasher go on? It should sit next to the sink so the drain is short.
- Is there a pull-out trash or filter? Those take space under the sink that the plumbing also needs.
- Is the range gas or electric? A gas line takes planning and, in some towns, a permit.
- Where will the refrigerator go? Its water line should come up behind it, not across the room.
Kitchen repairs that do not involve a remodel
Not every kitchen call is a remodel. We repair leaking supply lines and stops, replace worn faucets, clear slow sink drains, and trace the source of water under a cabinet. If a kitchen drain backs up often, the cause may be further down the line, and our drain and sewer line cleaning page explains what that involves.
Call right away if
- Water is running under the sink and the stops will not close.
- You smell gas near the range. Leave the home and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not turn lights or switches on or off.
- The kitchen sink and a nearby bathroom drain back up at the same time.
What a Vor-Tex kitchen visit looks like
- You call. We book a same-day or next-day window for repairs, and talk through the plan for a remodel.
- We look and quote on site. The $79 dispatch fee is credited toward the work when you approve it, and the estimate is up front.
- We do the work and show you. We test each connection with you.
- Warranty. A 5-year warranty on parts and labor applies when we supply the parts.
Remodel timing, in plain terms
Plumbing is one of the first trades in and one of the last to finish, which makes it easy to schedule wrong. Tell us your demolition date and the date the countertops are due. We work backward from those so the rough-in happens before the walls close and the sink is not waiting on a drain that was never moved. If your schedule shifts, call and we will rebook the visit rather than leave the kitchen without water longer than it needs to be.
Permits in Aubrey
Remodel plumbing can need a permit depending on the scope and the town. The City of Aubrey handles plumbing under its trade permit through Development Services. We tell you whether your job needs one and handle the paperwork when it does.
