24/7 Emergency Plumber in Bessemer, AL

Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. A supply line lets go at 2 a.m., the main drain backs up on Thanksgiving morning, the water heater floods the garage on a Sunday. When that happens in Bessemer, Hueytown, McCalla or anywhere in western Jefferson County, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up – not a voicemail and a callback on Monday.

Alabama Plumbing Services is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. When you call (205) 807-8279 you talk to our team, we ask a few quick questions, tell you what to do right now to limit the damage, and dispatch the nearest plumber. Our customers regularly tell us we were at their door within the hour – even after midnight.

• Burst or leaking pipes – water spraying, pouring through a ceiling or pooling on the floor.
• Sewer backups – sewage coming up in a tub, shower or floor drain, or several drains gurgling at once.
• No water at all – often a broken water line between the meter and the house.
• A leaking or failed water heater – water around the tank, no hot water, a pilot that will not stay lit.
• Overflowing toilets that will not stop, or the only toilet in the house out of order.
• Gas smell near a water heater, stove or gas line – leave the house first and call the gas company, then us for the repair.
• Frozen pipes during an Alabama cold snap, before they split.

Not sure if it can wait until morning? Call anyway. If it is safe to wait, we will tell you – and book you for the first slot of the day.

1. Shut off the water. The main shut-off valve is usually where the water line enters the house – in a crawlspace, garage, utility closet or near the water heater. Many homes around Bessemer also have a curb valve in the meter box at the street.
2. Turn off the water heater if it is leaking: switch off the breaker (electric) or turn the gas valve to “pilot” (gas).
3. Stop using the drains if sewage is backing up – no flushing, showers or laundry.
4. Move valuables and electronics away from the water and take a few photos for your insurance.

We will walk you through each step on the phone if you need it.

Our trucks carry the parts and tools that fix most emergencies on the first visit – pipe and fittings in copper, PEX and PVC, shut-off valves, water heater parts, toilet repair kits, drain machines and a sewer camera. Before any work starts, you get a clear price for the repair, so there are no surprises at 3 a.m.
