Plumbers in Opelika cover ground that runs east to Valley, Lanett and Cusseta, and the trade here carries a streak of specialty. One shop works drains and sewer lines and little else, another makes its living pinpointing leaks without tearing into walls or yards, and a third pairs plumbing with pool work. The 13 plumbers on this page carry 836 Google reviews at an average rating of 4.5, and Enterprise and Montgomery show up in the work customers describe.

The deepest review histories sit at opposite ends of company age. All Things Plumbing, founded in 2025 by tradesmen formerly with Whatley Brothers, brings more than 25 years of plumbing experience to a 4.9 rating from 256 reviews, with clean impressions and clear communication part of the pitch. Alex's Plumbing Solutions holds a perfect 5.0 from 143, with same-day service and fair prices the recurring themes. Plainsmen Services, 5.0 from 32, runs the other direction: a family plumbing legacy that started in the early 1970s, now three generations deep with more than 50 years of combined experience, and lead professional Josh brings more than 12 years of hands-on work and explains what a repair involves before starting.

The specialists are worth knowing by name. Zoom Drain, 4.7 from 84, works drains and sewer lines as its whole trade: one mainline was pushing sewage up into the yard when a call around 11 AM brought a technician who knew exactly what the issue was. American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama, based in Cusseta at 4.7 from 116, pinpoints leaks non-invasively under houses and in pools, with one Enterprise pool leak found exactly where the repair plumber later confirmed it. John Riley’s Affordable Plumbing & Pool Company, in Valley at 5.0 from 42, pairs pool liner installs with urgent plumbing calls.

The Valley and Lanett string carries shops of its own. Birditt Plumbing, in Lanett at 5.0 from 20, sent Reilly to a guest bathroom, remodeled by others, that still would not drain, with the master bath tub running nonstop on top of it, and the customer left impressed enough to write about it later. David Thompson Plumbing, in Valley, holds 2.7 from 15 reviews. Heard's Plumbing, in Lanett, sits at 4.3 from 12, and Burdette Plumbing, in Cusseta, is the shop that took on a whole-house replacement plumbing job, hot-water line break and slab leak included, after three other plumbers could not quote or schedule it for over a month.

Everyday work fills the rest of the page. Roto-Rooter's Opelika location, 4.4 from 76, draws on the national drain brand with same-day service and no extra charge for Saturday visits. ECONOMY ROOTER is Eric's owner-operated shop, referred by a local plumbing wholesaler, the number customers keep for older plumbing that clogs at the worst time. ACA Plumbing & Services LLC takes residential repair and new-construction plumbing, water heater installation included, at 4.1 from 10.

Emergency coverage runs through the market, with All Things Plumbing, Alex's Plumbing Solutions and Plainsmen Services answering around the clock. Auburn, Phenix City, Alexander City, Wetumpka and Montgomery keep their own pages when a job points that way, and Auburn and Montgomery already come up as places the shops here work.

Hiring a plumber in Opelika: local notes

East Alabama — Auburn-Opelika, the Chattahoochee valley and the piedmont lakes behind Phenix City.

What the climate does here

  • Piedmont red clay erodes in the region's heavy summer rains, and washed-out soil is a classic cause of exposed and bellied yard lines.
  • Lake homes on Martin, Harding and the Chattahoochee add their own plumbing: dock supplies, pump systems and vacation houses that freeze unattended in a rare hard snap.
  • Auburn and Opelika keep adding subdivisions, so builder-grade fixtures and slab rough-ins from a decade of fast construction are a large share of the local call volume.
  • Humidity stays high from March to November, which keeps crawlspace moisture and condensation on cold lines on the maintenance list.

Before you sign

  • On lake and vacation property, ask the plumber about a freeze-protection walkthrough — drained supply lines and a labeled shutoff save the spring surprise.
  • In newer subdivisions, ask whether the water heater's expansion tank and pan drain were installed to code; fast builds sometimes skip both.
  • 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 Opelika

Who specializes in drains and sewer lines in Opelika?

Zoom Drain works drains and sewer lines as its entire trade, from a mainline pushing sewage into the yard to a vacation-saving clog cleared quickly. ECONOMY ROOTER, Eric's owner-operated shop, is the number customers keep for older plumbing that clogs at the worst time, and Roto-Rooter's Opelika location covers drains with same-day service and no extra Saturday charge.

Can a leak be found without digging up the yard?

American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama makes its living pinpointing leaks non-invasively, and one repair plumber found the under-house leak exactly where the team had indicated. Pool leaks are in scope too, including one located for a household in Enterprise. All Things Plumbing and Birditt Plumbing take the repair side once a leak is found.

Do any Opelika plumbers also work on pools?

John Riley’s Affordable Plumbing & Pool Company, based in Valley, pairs pool work with plumbing: pool liner installs come off smoothly start to finish by one account, and the plumbing side handles urgent calls, including a leaking pipe under the house that turned out to be the hot water heater. American Leak Detection of Southern Alabama locates pool leaks as part of its leak work.

Which shops serve Valley and Lanett?

John Riley’s Affordable Plumbing & Pool Company works the Valley side, and Birditt Plumbing, at 5.0 from 20 reviews, is the shop Lanett customers keep handy for quality work at a fair price. Heard's Plumbing also answers calls in Lanett, rated 4.3 from 12, so the eastern end of this page has coverage of its own.

Who takes on big jobs, like a whole-house repipe or a remodel?

Burdette Plumbing, in Cusseta, took on a whole-house replacement plumbing job, with a hot-water line break and a leak under the slab, after three other plumbers could not quote or schedule it for over a month. All Things Plumbing plumbs new bathrooms and handles repiping, and Plainsmen Services covers remodel and new construction plumbing with free estimates.

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.

What plumbing surprises come with Auburn-area lake and vacation homes?

Unoccupied houses are the big one: a hard freeze in an empty lakeside home bursts lines that nobody sees until the damage spreads. Local plumbers handle freeze-protection visits, dock and pump work, and well systems outside town. Ask for a labeled shutoff walkthrough so the person watching the house knows where the water stops.
