Pelham Pro Plumbing dispatches licensed plumbers to homes and businesses in Pelham, Alabama, in Shelby County, and to nearby towns such as Alabaster and Helena. Find the group that matches your problem, open that page, and read what the job involves before you call. Every job begins with one phone call, because we have no forms and no online booking. If you are not sure which one fits, call (855) 575-2890 and describe what you see.
Emergency or planned: how to decide
Some problems cannot wait for morning. Water pouring through a ceiling, sewage rising in a floor drain, a split pipe that will not stop flowing, or a tank leaking across the garage floor are emergencies. Shut off the main water valve if the problem is water, stop using every drain if it is sewage, and call the 24/7 line. Emergency dispatch runs nights and weekends too.
Planned work is anything stable. A dripping faucet, a toilet that runs after every flush, a disposal that hums, or an old water heater you want to swap before it fails can all wait for a same-day appointment when available, or for the next opening. Planned work gives you time to compare options and pick a time that suits you. It is also easier to price, because the plumber is not working around standing water.
The gray zone is a problem that is slow but getting worse. A drain that now gurgles, a ceiling stain that grows after every shower, or a water bill that jumped with no change in habits can look small and turn into damage. If you are unsure, call and describe what you see. Describe what you see and the dispatcher will tell you whether to treat it as an emergency.
| What you see | How to treat it | Start with |
|---|---|---|
| Water spraying or pouring from a pipe | Emergency, call now | Burst pipe repair |
| Sewage backing up in tubs and floor drains | Emergency, stop using drains | Sewer line cleaning |
| No hot water | Emergency if the tank is leaking, same-day when available otherwise | Water heater repair |
| Water bill jumped and nothing visibly leaks | Planned, but do not wait long | Water meter leak detection |
| Dripping faucet or running toilet | Planned | Faucet and sink repair |
If you smell gas
Leave the building first. Call your gas utility or 911 from outside, and do not flip switches or use a lighter on the way out. Call us after the utility has made the area safe.
What happens after you call
The dispatcher asks what is happening, where you are, and whether anything is flooding or unsafe. That conversation decides whether a plumber goes out as an emergency or is booked for a same-day appointment when available. You get a clear price before work starts, and you can say no if the plan is not what you expected.

How the nineteen services group together
Drains and sewer work covers everything that carries water out of the house. Drain cleaning handles a clogged sink, tub or toilet drain, and hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour pipe walls when a snake only punches a hole through the clog. Farther down the line sit sewer line cleaning, sewer camera inspection and sewer line repair.
Pelham Water Works runs sewer as well as water, so a backup in several fixtures may be on your side of the property line or the city's. Describe the backup on the call and the plumber can help work out which it is before anyone starts digging.
Water heater work has four pages. Water heater repair fits a unit with a fixable fault, and replacement fits a tank that has failed. Planned swaps go through water heater installation, and tankless water heaters have their own page because venting, gas supply and sizing differ from a tank.
Leaks and supply lines include burst pipe repair, leak detection, water service line repair and replacement, and repiping. For a high water bill, water meter leak detection covers the paperwork Pelham Water Works asks for, which is policy at time of writing, so confirm current terms with the city. Fixtures cover toilets, faucets and sinks, and garbage disposals. Installs and commercial work covers plumbing installation, such as new fixtures and rough-in, and commercial plumbing for shops and offices.
Work that lives inside other pages
Some services have no page of their own because they are sections of a larger one. Cast iron pipe repair is covered on sewer line repair, and hybrid, electric and gas water heater repair is covered on water heater repair. For specialist items on a commercial plumbing job, such as backflow devices, grease traps or code checks, the plumber will tell you what applies. Ask Pelham Water Works or the Pelham Building Department for local requirements.
What we do not take on
We do not install or pump septic tanks, and electrical work needs an electrician. If a plumbing problem turns out to involve wiring, such as a water heater with a dead heating element circuit, the plumber will say so and tell you what to hand off. Permit rules vary by job, so ask the Pelham Building Department at 205.620.6495 before you plan a larger project.
Not sure which page fits?
Call the 24/7 line, describe what you see, and the dispatcher will point you to the right kind of visit.
Before you choose a service
Start with what you can see or hear. Water where it should not be points to leaks and burst pipes. Slow or gurgling drains point to the drain and sewer group. A cold shower points to water heaters.
If two pages seem to fit, call. The plumber decides the real cause on site, and the page you picked does not lock you in.
No. The only way to reach us is by phone, at any hour. Taking the details by voice lets the dispatcher ask follow-up questions about shutoffs, flooding and access.
There are no forms on this site, so there is nothing to fill out and nobody to wait on for a reply.
No. We do not install or pump septic tanks. We can work on the plumbing inside the house and the sewer line leading out of it, and a plumber can tell you when the trouble starts at the tank instead.
In that case you would call a septic contractor.
Yes. You get a clear price before work starts, after the plumber has looked at the problem. What drives it is the cause, access to the pipe, the parts needed and the size of the job.
If the plumber finds something different once a wall or floor is open, they explain it and you decide before more work happens.
