Leaks, running toilets, burst pipes, low pressure — fixed the first trip by a licensed plumber. Serving all of Shelby County, 24/7.
Professor Plumb was built on a simple idea: show up on time, diagnose it correctly, and fix it right the first visit. No repeat trips. No parts-on-order delays. No upcharging after you've already committed.
Duane and Zach carry a fully-stocked truck and have the experience to handle the most common residential plumbing repairs on the spot — the same day you call.
We handle the full range of residential plumbing repair calls throughout Shelby County:
A dripping faucet is easy to fix. But a running toilet that's been running for six months may signal a water pressure issue affecting multiple fixtures. A spot of water under the sink might be a loose supply line — or evidence of a slow leak behind the wall.
We don't stop at the surface. We ask why something failed, because fixing the right thing once costs a fraction of fixing the wrong thing twice. That's what 'We Have a Clue' actually means.
A burst pipe or major leak can cause serious water damage in hours. We're available around the clock for plumbing emergencies in Pelham, Helena, Alabaster, Hoover, Columbiana, Chelsea, Calera, and the surrounding communities.
When you call, you talk to us — not an answering service. Upfront pricing before any work starts. Licensed, insured, and background-checked.
Questions? We answer the phone.
Call (205) 671-5049Simple repairs — a running toilet, dripping faucet, or minor leak — typically run $100–$250 in parts and labor. More complex work (slab leaks, repiping a section, burst pipe repair) costs more. We give you an exact price before we start.
Usually yes. For emergencies, we're available 24/7. For non-emergency repairs, we typically schedule within 24 hours and often same-day.
A constantly running toilet can waste 200+ gallons of water per day, adding $30–$70 to your monthly water bill. Most running toilet repairs take under an hour and cost well under $200. It's one of the easiest repairs to justify.
The most common causes are a failing pressure regulator (a valve on your main line that controls pressure), sediment buildup in fixtures, corroded pipes, or a partially closed main shutoff. We'll diagnose the actual cause and fix it at the source.
Find your main water shutoff (usually near where the water line enters your home) and shut it off immediately. Then call us at (205) 671-5049. We're available 24/7 and will get there as fast as possible to limit damage.
