Plumbers in Anniston work a stretch of northeast Alabama that reaches well past the city line. The 14 plumbers on this page include shops based in Delta, Jacksonville and West End-Cobb Town, and their service runs toward Oxford, Gadsden and Talladega and across Calhoun County. Together they carry 994 Google reviews at an average rating of 4.6. A branch of a national drain brand works here alongside family shops that have served the county for decades, and the deepest review histories are long ones.

Water heater work anchors the market. Most of these plumbers take water heater calls, and tankless installs sit next to plain tank swaps: First Action Plumbing has put in tankless units, Still Waters Plumbing And Gas of Jacksonville handles them, and Roto-Rooter's Anniston location troubleshoots and replaces both kinds. Emergency coverage is the other shared habit. Roto-Rooter answers around the clock, 365 days a year, with free estimates before work begins; Major League Plumbing, known around town as MLP, keeps crews on call for emergencies; and Ted's Plumbing treats after-hours calls as part of the job.

The review records worth knowing start with Roto-Rooter at 4.7 from 389 reviews, the deepest history here. Last Call Services LLC, based in Delta, holds 4.9 from 137, and the stories behind it explain the number: a sewer backup on Christmas Eve handled with family coming for dinner, a water heater picked up at the store and replaced in one trip. Ted's Plumbing sits at 4.7 from 104 after more than 38 years serving Anniston, Gadsden, Jacksonville, Oxford and Talladega. Still Waters Plumbing And Gas carries 5.0 from 65. Encore Plumbing's perfect 5.0 comes from 16 reviews, a thinner record than 389, and both numbers are worth holding side by side.

Septic work rides next to the plumbing here. Barrett Plumbing, founded by Keith Barrett in 1995, bought Anniston Septic Tank Service in 1998, so pumping, maintenance and regular inspections come with the plumbing repairs. Major League Plumbing offers plumbing and septic solutions for residential, commercial and industrial customers, and Oxford Septic Tank Services takes septic and plumbing calls under one name for the Oxford area. On the drain side, Preston's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning Service builds its work on lines other fixes have failed to clear, snaking and jetting once a clean out gives access.

Gas work, remodels and repipes fill out the list. Perez Plumbing & Gas LLC works both sides of the trade: one household had a water pressure reduction valve replaced at the street and an electric water heater changed over to gas, finished right the first time. Major League Plumbing runs bathroom remodels from a faucet repair to a full renovation, and Ted's Plumbing covers homes and commercial properties with upfront pricing and a warranty on its work. Burks Plumbing, which works both Jacksonville and Anniston, offers free consultations, price matching and discounts for seniors, military and law enforcement.

The lowest records on the page belong to First Action Plumbing at 3.3 from 13 reviews and Perez Plumbing & Gas LLC at 3.8 from 10, and the numbers carry the whole story. Beyond Anniston, Gadsden, Talladega, Pell City, Eastaboga and Oneonta keep pages of their own, so a job that points that direction has a place to start.

Hiring a plumber in Anniston: local notes

Central Alabama — Birmingham and its ridge-and-valley suburbs, Tuscaloosa, Anniston and Gadsden.

What the climate does here

  • Ridge-and-valley red clay moves with the weather, and the region's older neighborhoods — Birmingham's pre-1950 stock above all — still run on galvanized steel and cast iron that age out together.
  • Central Alabama sits in Dixie Alley: the April 2011 outbreak tore through Birmingham's suburbs, and post-storm re-pipes and meter sets follow every severe season.
  • Ice storms are the winter signature — a thin glaze is enough to snap tree limbs onto service lines and cut power for days, which is why battery-backup sump pumps sell here.
  • Summer storms drop intense rain on narrow valleys, so yard drains, area drains and sewer laterals take the water all at once.

Before you sign

  • In Birmingham's older neighborhoods, ask whether the supply lines are original galvanized; a whole-house repipe quote is easier to take before the pinhole leaks start.
  • Camera the sewer lateral before buying an mid-century house — big clay laterals under these neighborhoods root-in and belly where the clay soil has moved.
  • Tuscaloosa, Anniston and Gadsden carry the same aging-mains issues as Birmingham with fewer contractors per capita, so book non-emergencies early in the week.
  • Ask for the company's state registration and the individual's certification level — apprentice, journeyman or master — before any quote is scheduled.
  • Check the certificate in the Board's own business search; the record here shows the license number and issue date, the Board shows the current status.
  • Confirm who pulls the permit for anything beyond a like-for-like swap, and make the inspection schedule part of the written estimate.

Licensing: Plumbing is a state-certified trade in Alabama: the Plumbers & Gas Fitters Examining Board certifies every level from apprentice to master, and registered companies must carry a Principal Master. City building departments add local licenses and pull permits for code-covered work. Verify a license in the Board's business search (status and expiration live there, not here) — see Alabama Plumbers & Gas Fitters Examining Board. Before any job that digs, Alabama 811 locates buried lines free.

Common questions about plumbers in Anniston

Who works on water heaters in Anniston, including tankless models?

Water heater calls are the most common work on this page. Roto-Rooter's Anniston location troubleshoots and replaces tank and tankless units, First Action Plumbing installs tankless heaters, and Still Waters Plumbing And Gas of Jacksonville covers tankless installs and emergency heater work. John Hearn Plumbing, rated 4.7 from 86 reviews, is another shop customers call for water heater replacement.

Do any Anniston plumbers also handle septic tanks?

Yes. Barrett Plumbing has run septic work since 1998, when the family bought Anniston Septic Tank Service, so pumping, maintenance and inspections come with the plumbing. Major League Plumbing offers plumbing and septic solutions for homes, businesses and industrial sites, and Oxford Septic Tank Services, based in Delta, takes septic and plumbing calls under one name for the Oxford area.

Who clears a stopped sewer or drain line here?

Preston's Plumbing and Drain Cleaning Service makes drain work its core: the crew snakes and jets lines once a clean out gives access, and takes clogs that resisted easier fixes. Roto-Rooter covers drain and sewer clogs around the clock, and Encore Plumbing, rated 5.0 from 16 reviews, resolved an outside sewer pipe issue the morning after the first call.

Which shops serve the smaller towns around Anniston?

Last Call Services LLC is based in Delta and holds 4.9 from 137 reviews. Still Waters Plumbing And Gas works the Jacksonville area with a 5.0 from 65, and Burks Plumbing covers both Jacksonville and Anniston with licensed, insured crews and discounts for seniors, military and law enforcement.

Where else can I look if my job sits outside Anniston?

Nearby towns keep pages of their own: Gadsden, Talladega, Pell City, Eastaboga and Oneonta. Ted's Plumbing, which has served Anniston for more than 38 years, also works Gadsden, Jacksonville, Oxford and Talladega, so one call may cover you either way. Calhoun County comes up as ground the shops here already work when an address falls outside any named town.

How do I check a plumber's certification in Alabama?

Ask the business for its license number, then look it up in the Board's own business search. Listing pages on this directory show the license number and the year it was issued where a Board record exists; the Board's search is where the current status lives, so check there before you hire.

Are repipes as common in Birmingham as it sounds?

Yes. Birmingham's pre-1950 neighborhoods were plumbed in galvanized steel and cast iron, and that stock ages out in clusters — once one neighbor is repiping, the street usually follows within a few years. Most local plumbers quote whole-house PEX or copper repipes, and the listing tiles on this site show which businesses confirm repiping work before you call.
