Services
The same work we cover across the river in Tuscaloosa:
Northport homes inside the city get water from the City of Northport, not the City of Tuscaloosa. For a leak near the meter, or to check for an outage, contact the City of Northport’s water department. Homes outside city limits may be on another provider, so check your water bill.
Local know-how
Northport has a mix of housing ages, and the plumbing problems follow. Older homes near downtown and Main Avenue are more likely to have galvanized supply lines, which lose pressure as they rust inside, and clay or cast-iron sewer pipe that roots can get into. Mature oaks and pines in established neighborhoods make root intrusion a regular call.
Newer subdivisions to the north usually have PEX or CPVC supply lines and PVC drains, so problems there are more often a water heater reaching the end of its life, a slab leak, or a builder-grade fixture failing.
Weather
Hard freezes are rare enough that many homes aren’t built for them. Pipes in crawl spaces, on exterior walls and in unheated garages are the ones that split. Before a freeze, drip faucets on outside walls, open sink cabinets and cover outdoor spigots.
Spring storms bring long power outages and heavy rain. Homes with sump pumps should have a battery backup, and a backup in the lowest drain of the house after heavy rain is worth a call before it reaches living space.
Sewer or septic
Most homes in town are connected to city sewer, but some homes outside the sewer service area, especially on larger lots farther out, have a septic tank and drain field. It matters when drains back up: a backup on city sewer usually points to the main line between the house and the street, while on septic it can mean a full tank or a failing drain field.
If you’re not sure which you have, check whether your water bill includes a sewer charge, or look for a septic tank lid in the yard. Tell us which one when you call, because not every plumber does septic work and we’ll match you with one who does if you need it.
How it works
Call (205) 000-0000 or send the form at the top of this page. Tell us your address or ZIP code and what’s going on. We match you with a licensed plumber who covers Northport and handles that kind of job, and the plumber calls you to confirm the details. Ask for the plumber’s Alabama license number and a written estimate before work starts. You can check the license with the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board.
