For the leak, the no-heat morning, the roof that started dripping at 9pm: call (877) 454-8068. The desk is open 7am–10pm ET, every day. Tell us what is happening and where.

Sixty-two ZIP codes across Jefferson County make for an unusually wide range of housing in Birmingham, from early streetcar suburbs to mid-century ranches. The median build year is 1965, and nearly three in four homes predate 1980. Older houses often carry original cast-iron drains, small service panels, and roofs that have been layered over. Expansive clay moves the ground under slabs and driveways. Storm season brings wind, hail, and heavy rain, and fewer than half of households own, so rentals account for a lot of the work.

What that means for a call

With a median build year of 1965 and about 72% of homes standing before 1980, Birmingham has a lot of housing that predates modern shutoffs, wiring, and drain materials. That does not mean every repair is a system replacement, but the age of the house is worth mentioning on the call.

Local watch-outs

  • Keep gutters and downspouts clear before storm season. If water reaches an outlet or a panel, stop and call an electrician rather than resetting the breaker.
  • Pool pumps and heaters work harder in a long hot season. Know the breaker and the shutoff before a problem, and keep the equipment pad clear.
  • Expansive clay moves with wet and dry cycles. Watch for new cracks in slabs, walks, and foundation edges, and keep water away from the foundation.
  • Older homes often have original shutoffs, wiring, and drain lines. Ask the pro to show you the failed part before approving a replacement.
