Plumbers in Homewood work a Birmingham metro beat. The shops here name Birmingham, Hoover, Chelsea, Alabaster, Bessemer, Pelham, Calera and Helena as ground they cover, and Jefferson County and Shelby County both come up as working territory, so a Homewood address sits at the middle of a wide map. The 13 plumbers on this page carry 2246 Google reviews at an average rating of 4.7. Chapman Plumbing, based in Shannon, has worked that map since 1964 and is still family owned.

Draingo Plumbing and Septic Services of Alabama holds the deepest record at 4.6 from 1670 reviews, a full-service operation for Birmingham area homes and businesses: drain cleaning and treatment, hydro jetting, camera inspections, sewer cleaning and replacement, leak detection, slab leak repair and more, available around the clock with same-day appointments when possible. Chapman Plumbing, at 4.9 from 258, works from Shannon across Hoover, Bessemer and neighboring communities with flat rate repair pricing and free estimates by phone. T&T Plumbing LLC, based in Birmingham, serves Alabaster, Calera, Chelsea, Helena, Hoover and Pelham, and sewer line repair and replacement is its named specialty.

Water heater work is the common thread. Bob Grantham Plumbing is a Homewood shop where Bob and his son Austin turn up by name on heater jobs: two tank installs for one household, and an outdoor tankless unit replaced on time and thoroughly. Strickland Plumbing & Maintenance put a gas tankless water heater in within the week of a call, and K-Wood Plumbing arrived early for a heater install and unclogged a tub drain on the spot without charge. Much of Alabama runs moderately hard to hard water, so mineral scale and sediment are normal maintenance concerns for tank and tankless units alike, and the shops here see both.

Master plumber credentials show up at the small shops too. Superior Plumbing & Drain is master plumber Robert Polk's own company, built on 15 years in the Homewood area and rated 5.0 from 35 reviews, with a list that runs to polybutylene pipe replacement, trenchless sewer replacement and pipe bursting. Benchmark Plumbing, a small family business whose working territory is Jefferson County, holds Master Plumber certification and a 5.0 from 12. Budget Rooter & Plumbing, 5.0 from 20, offers same-day water heater replacement and septic tank repair and replacement alongside the drains and sewer basics.

Weekend saves are part of the local record. 24/7 Plumbing Birmingham AL took a Saturday call with a main sewer line backing up into a basement, answered on the first try, and had a plumber at the house within the hour. QDP Plumbing runs a full-service operation from new plumbing construction to emergency repairs, sump pump work and bathroom and kitchen remodel plumbing included. Morrison Plumbing Co, a down home family company working Chelsea and the rest of Shelby County, traced an upstairs toilet leak that had stained the ceiling below and repaired it conscientiously, rated 4.5 from 13.

The range of shop sizes is the practical part of this page: a large same-day operation, mid-size family firms, and small shops whose customers stay for years, Strickland Plumbing & Maintenance being the kind customers call the only plumber they dial. When a job points toward Hoover, Ensley, Birmingham, Bessemer or Hueytown, those towns keep their own pages.

Hiring a plumber in Homewood: 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 Homewood

Which plumbers cover both Jefferson County and Shelby County from Homewood?

T&T Plumbing LLC, based in Birmingham, serves Alabaster, Calera, Chelsea, Helena, Hoover and Pelham, with sewer line repair and replacement named a specialty. Morrison Plumbing Co works Chelsea and the rest of Shelby County, and Benchmark Plumbing's working territory is Jefferson County, where it covers homes and businesses with Master Plumber certification behind the work.

Who works on water heaters and tankless units in Homewood?

Budget Rooter & Plumbing offers same-day water heater replacement, tank and tankless. Bob Grantham Plumbing is a father-and-son shop where two tank heaters went in for one household and an outdoor tankless unit was replaced on time, and Strickland Plumbing & Maintenance installed a gas tankless water heater within the week of a call.

Do any shops here handle sewer replacement or septic work?

Draingo Plumbing and Septic Services of Alabama covers sewer cleaning and replacement, hydro jetting and camera inspections, with septic in the name. Superior Plumbing & Drain LLC does trenchless sewer replacement and pipe bursting, along with polybutylene pipe replacement, and Budget Rooter & Plumbing adds septic tank repair and replacement and grease trap cleaning to the list.

Who works in Hoover and Bessemer?

Chapman Plumbing, based in Shannon, works across Hoover, Bessemer and neighboring communities, at it since 1964 with licensed, insured crews and free estimates by phone. T&T Plumbing LLC covers Hoover and Pelham among its service cities, and Draingo Plumbing and Septic Services of Alabama runs the wider Birmingham area around the clock, same-day appointments when possible.

Which businesses on the page hold perfect ratings, and from how many reviews?

Superior Plumbing & Drain LLC sits at 5.0 from 35 reviews and Budget Rooter & Plumbing at 5.0 from 20, each a much smaller sample than the 1670 reviews behind Draingo Plumbing and Septic Services of Alabama's 4.6 average. Chapman Plumbing, at 4.9 from 258, holds a record built over six decades of work.

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.
