Plumbing Issues in Berkleigh, Mobile, AL: What Homeowners Should Know

Tucked just off Airport Boulevard, Berkleigh is one of Mobile’s busiest residential zones — but with a lot of older homes, plumbing issues are becoming more common than you might think.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we help Berkleigh homeowners get ahead of leaks, clogs, and sewer line damage before it gets expensive.

Here are the top plumbing problems we see in Berkleigh homes — and how to fix them.


🚩 1. Galvanized Pipes Causing Water Discoloration

Many homes in Berkleigh still have galvanized steel plumbing, which can corrode from the inside out over time.
You may notice:

  • Brown or yellow water from your faucets
  • Poor water pressure in showers
  • Strange metallic odors

These signs mean your pipes are rusting and may be on the verge of failure.
We offer full pipe replacements and plumbing upgrades to bring your system up to modern standards.


🚩 2. Frequent Toilet Clogs & Drain Backups

Between older plumbing layouts and settled foundations, we’ve seen an increase in:

  • Toilets backing up frequently
  • Gurgling noises from tubs or sinks
  • Standing water in showers

These are signs your main sewer line may be partially blocked or starting to fail — especially if more than one drain is acting up.

🚩 3. Aging Water Heaters

We regularly replace 10–15 year-old tank water heaters in Berkleigh.
Symptoms of a dying unit:

  • Lukewarm water
  • Rust-colored hot water
  • Noisy tank or pilot light issues

Not sure how old yours is? We’ll inspect it, flush it, and give you honest answers.
