Eagle Service Company
Birmingham, Alabama 35233
Four generations of Birmingham plumbing on 3rd Avenue South.
About
Eagle Service Company has worked Birmingham plumbing calls since 1930, when the Jeffcoat family first opened the doors. Nearly a century later, the same family still runs the shop at 2601 3rd Avenue South, dispatching plumbers to homes and small businesses across the metro.
The company structures its business so technicians are not paid on commission. Owners say that keeps the focus on diagnosing the actual problem rather than steering customers toward larger replacements. The team handles water heaters, drain and sewer issues, leak repair, backflow testing, and gas connection work.
Eagle Service also covers heating and air conditioning under the same roof, which can simplify scheduling when a project crosses trade lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long has Eagle Service Company been in Birmingham?
Eagle Service Company has worked Birmingham plumbing calls since 1930, with the Jeffcoat family running the shop for four generations. That makes it one of the oldest continuously operating plumbing companies in the metro. The original 3rd Avenue South location still anchors the business, and the company has expanded into HVAC and gas service alongside its plumbing roots.
Are Eagle Service technicians paid on commission?
Eagle Service Company does not pay its technicians on commission. The owners specifically structure compensation that way so plumbers can focus on diagnosing the actual problem rather than upselling larger replacements or unnecessary parts. Customers often mention this directly in reviews when comparing quotes from larger franchise operations.
What kinds of water heater work does Eagle Service handle?
Eagle Service Company installs, services, and replaces both tank and tankless water heaters in Birmingham homes. The team handles failed elements and thermostats, anode rod replacement, leak repair on connections, and full unit swaps when an old heater has reached end of life. They also troubleshoot recirculation pumps and venting on gas units.
Does Eagle Service test backflow preventers in Birmingham?
Yes, Eagle Service Company performs annual backflow prevention testing required by the Birmingham Water Works and many local jurisdictions. The team certifies the assemblies, files paperwork with the utility, and repairs or replaces failed devices. They cover both residential irrigation backflows and larger commercial assemblies.
How quickly can Eagle Service get a plumber out for a leak?
Eagle Service Company runs same-day and next-day appointments for most plumbing calls in Birmingham, with a 24-hour line for true emergencies like burst pipes or active leaks. Because the dispatch desk is local, the team can usually give a tight arrival window rather than an all-day wait. Same-day availability depends on time of call and current dispatch load.
Does Eagle Service do gas piping along with plumbing?
Eagle Service Company runs gas lines and connects gas appliances as part of its service mix. That includes new connections for ranges, dryers, water heaters, and outdoor grills, plus leak isolation when a meter is showing unexplained usage. The team is set up to handle both plumbing and gas work on the same visit.
