Serving Homes and Businesses
A dripping faucet, a stubborn garbage disposal, or a toilet that won’t flush properly might seem like minor inconveniences, but left unchecked, they can evolve into significant disruptions. That’s why we don’t just fix the problem—we identify its root cause to try and prevent future issues. For every fixture or connection, our goal is to deliver solutions that are not just effective but enduring.
Many homes and businesses contending with outdated pipework face challenges like discolored water, slow drains, or reduced flow rates. Our repiping services replace compromised systems with modern materials that can better withstand the stresses of time and the local environment.
Likewise, sewer and drain issues, from minor clogs to extensive backups, are treated with precision. Using state-of-the-art tools and techniques, we address the issue at hand while enhancing the long-term functionality of your plumbing system.
Water management is another critical concern for property owners in Birmingham, especially considering the frequent heavy rains. Sump pumps play a vital role in safeguarding properties from flooding, and our team excels at keeping yours ready for action. Whether repairing, replacing, or upgrading your system, we take every measure to keep your property well-protected when the skies open up.
Similarly, water heaters are an essential part of daily life, providing the comfort and functionality needed for both residential and commercial use. Our team handles everything from sourcing energy-efficient replacements to extending the lifespan of existing systems through proper maintenance. We also install and repair water meters for accurate water usage tracking and cost control, helping property owners gain better oversight and accountability.
Long-Term Plumbing Solutions
Preventative care helps plumbing systems stay reliable for the long haul, and Cole Plumbing offers routine maintenance services that are designed to reduce the chances of plumbing emergencies. Regular inspections allow us to catch minor issues before they snowball. Backflow testing and certification also form a core part of our commitment to water safety. By preventing contamination and ensuring water only flows in the intended direction, we help protect your property’s water supply.
Additionally, water quality is a priority, especially in homes or buildings where older pipes can lead to unwanted impurities. Our testing services not only identify potential issues but also offer customized solutions, such as water filtration systems, to keep your water clean, safe, and refreshing.

Our FAQ
-
Prevent frozen pipes by following these pipe insulation steps:
- Run heating cable along the pipes before covering with insulation. The cable will keep the pipes at a constant temperature.
- Inspect the outside of your home looking for visible cracks near the foundation or basement. Use spray foam or caulking to fill cracks.
- Shut off the water valves to your outdoor faucets. Allow excess water to drain then cover the faucets with an insulated dome to prevent freezing.
- Allow the warm air in your home to reach the pipes beneath your sinks by opening the cabinet doors.
- Have your HVAC system checked annually to prevent your heating system from crashing during the winter months. The freezing temperatures can quickly affect your pipes.
- Allow a small, slow drip to come from your faucets. Running the water even a minimal amount will help prevent frozen pipes.

Damage caused by broken pipes is one of the most common homeowners insurance claims. Most insurance companies will cover damage caused by leaking or burst pipes if the damage wasn’t preventable. There are steps you can take to avoid broken pipes or leaking appliances:
- Ensure tubs and showers are caulked and sealed properly
- Inspect for leaking faucets indoors and outside
- Insulate pipes if you live in a cold climate
- Routinely inspect appliance hoses on your dishwasher or washing machine and replace as needed

Tree roots that invade your plumbing can create severe damage if not remedied quickly. Tree roots can break through underground plumbing, blocking the flow of water and waste to and from your home. To avoid tree root invasion, try one of these methods:
- Tree Removal: If the tree continues to be a problem, have it professionally removed. The cost of tree removal will be minimal compared to constantly repairing your plumbing.
- Root Barrier: Install a root barrier around any new trees by digging an 18 to 24-inch trench around the root zone. The barrier will keep the roots from invading your pipes.
- Routine Plumbing Maintenance: Have a camera inspection performed every two to three years to detect invasive roots. You can spot small plumbing concerns before they become expensive repairs.
- Sewer Line Cleaning: Hydro Jetting is an environmentally friendly way to clean your pipes. The intense water pressure can cut through clogs, debris and tree roots.
