Some plumbing problems can wait.
Others? Not so much.
If you live in Carlen, you already know older homes and unpredictable weather can lead to sudden, messy issues — and when they hit, you need help fast.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we’ve responded to hundreds of emergency calls across Mobile County.
Here are 5 situations where waiting isn’t an option — and how to act quickly to minimize damage.
💧 1. Your Toilet Is Overflowing (and Won’t Stop)
If flushing sends water up instead of down — and it won’t stop rising — shut off the supply valve behind the toilet immediately.
Then call us.
An overflowing toilet isn’t just an inconvenience — it’s a health hazard, especially if it’s connected to a blocked sewer line.
🔥 2. You Smell Gas Near a Water Heater or Appliance
This one’s no joke.
If you smell rotten eggs or sulfur, leave the house and call the gas company first — then call us.
We’re licensed to handle gas-related plumbing issues safely and get your system back up to code.
💦 3. You Have a Burst Pipe or Major Leak
A pipe can burst from:
- Freezing temps (yep, even in Mobile on a cold snap)
- Corrosion
- High water pressure or bad fittings
Turn off the main water shutoff immediately.
Then text or call us — we’ll walk you through next steps and dispatch a tech.
🌊 4. Water Is Coming Up From the Tub or Shower
If water backs up into your tub when you flush or run the washer, it’s likely a main line clog.
This can quickly lead to sewage backing up into your home — don’t wait.
We’ll clear the line, camera it if needed, and give you peace of mind.
⚡ 5. You Have No Water Pressure — Suddenly
If your water pressure suddenly drops to a trickle, it may be a supply line failure, frozen pipe, or even a municipal issue.
If your neighbors still have pressure but you don’t — call us now.
We’ll troubleshoot the issue quickly and safely.
