Plumbing conditions in Alabama
Alabama is hot and humid for most of the year, with heavy rain and occasional winter cold snaps that catch homes built for warm weather off guard. Coastal areas around Mobile face hurricane season from June through November.
Many homes sit on slabs or crawl spaces rather than basements, so supply lines often run through crawl spaces and attics.
Alabama gets periodic hard freezes and ice storms, often after mild spells, which catch exposed pipes off guard. Pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls and garages are the first to freeze.

Common plumbing problems in Alabama
Frozen and burst pipes
Cold snaps in Alabama freeze pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and garages. A frozen line often splits and leaks only after it thaws, so shut off the main if you see water.
Frozen pipe thawing →Crawl-space plumbing
Crawl-space foundations are common in Alabama, so supply and drain lines run under the house where leaks and freezes go unnoticed until damage shows.
Leak detection →Slab leaks
With so many Alabama homes on concrete slabs, water lines under the floor leak quietly. Warm spots, a running meter or a rising water bill are the usual clues.
Leak detection →Storm-season drain and sewer backups
Tropical storms and hurricanes bring heavy rain to Alabama, which can overwhelm drains and back up sewer lines. Clear main lines and check valves before the season helps.
Drain cleaning →Flooding and sewer backups
Heavy rain and flooding in parts of Alabama push water into basements and back up older sewer laterals. Backwater valves and sound laterals reduce the risk.
