Meet Our Expert Birmingham Plumbers
25+ years of emergency plumbing experience serving Birmingham families. Licensed master plumbers you can trust.
Our Birmingham Plumbing Story
Birmingham Emergency Plumbing was founded in 1998 by James Mitchell, a licensed master plumber who saw firsthand how Birmingham homeowners struggled to find reliable emergency plumbing help when they needed it most. Starting with a single truck and a commitment to honest work, we've grown into Birmingham's most trusted 24/7 emergency plumbing service.
We're not a franchise or a call center. We're a local, family-owned business that lives and works in the Birmingham area. Every plumber on our team is licensed by the Alabama State Board, background-checked, and trained in our approach to emergency service: show up fast, communicate clearly, fix it right, and charge a fair price.
