Birmingham is Alabama's largest city and the economic heart of the metro, covering neighborhoods as distinct as Avondale, Forest Park, Ensley, Southside, Crestwood, and Roebuck. The city's housing stock is among the oldest in the state — many homes in Avondale, Woodlawn, and Ensley were built between 1900 and 1950, meaning cast-iron drain lines, galvanized water supply pipes, and knob-and-tube-era plumbing are still common. These older systems corrode from the inside out, causing chronic low pressure, rust-colored water, and slow drains that no amount of chemical drain cleaner will fix. Multifamily buildings in Southside and Five Points add another layer of complexity: shared stack lines, aging water heaters serving multiple units, and city-required permits for any work touching common systems. We navigate Birmingham's varied permit offices (Jefferson County and City of Birmingham inspections), understand the quirks of older construction, and respond to calls across the city's 99 square miles.

Max Lovelady has been working in Birmingham since the 1980s. He's replaced galvanized pipes in Avondale bungalows, repaired cast-iron stacks in Southside apartment buildings, and installed gas lines in new Crestwood construction. That depth of experience means fewer surprises and faster solutions on your Birmingham property.
Birmingham's permit and inspection process varies by project type and location — some work falls under Jefferson County jurisdiction, some under the City of Birmingham. We know which permits apply, how to file them, and how to schedule inspections so your project doesn't stall.
We're available 24 hours a day for Birmingham emergency calls. Whether it's a burst pipe in a Forest Park bungalow at midnight or a gas leak in a Southside apartment building on a Sunday, we respond. Our Leeds base puts us 20–25 minutes from most Birmingham neighborhoods via I-20.
At a glance
Birmingham's older neighborhoods demand a plumber who understands pre-1960 construction. In Avondale and Woodlawn, we regularly replace corroded galvanized supply lines that have narrowed to a trickle and reline cast-iron drain stacks that have cracked with age. In Southside and Highland Park, multifamily buildings need water heater replacements and stack-line repairs that require city permits and coordinated inspections. Newer areas like Crestwood and Roebuck see more standard service calls — water heater replacements, drain cleaning, and gas line work. We handle all of it, pulling the right permits for each Birmingham zip code.
