North Alabama Plumbing Company
Huntsville, Alabama 35811
Master-plumber-led Huntsville shop run directly by owner Bryan Landreth.
About
North Alabama Plumbing Company is led by Bryan Landreth, a licensed Alabama master plumber who runs the shop as a small owner-operator business in Huntsville ZIP 35811. The structure means the master plumber himself is on most service calls — uncommon among larger Huntsville plumbing companies where a master may stay in the office while apprentices run the trucks.
The service mix focuses on what residential customers most often need: water heater installs and replacements, slab leaks (which are common in Huntsville's mix of slab-on-grade homes), full repiping for older houses, and emergency burst pipe repair. The smaller scale supports more direct customer relationships and faster local response within Huntsville and Madison.
Dispatch line: (256) 690-4886. The company is BBB-rated and carries Alabama state licensing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it matter that the master plumber runs service calls?
North Alabama Plumbing Company is led by master plumber Bryan Landreth, who personally runs most calls rather than dispatching apprentices alone. A master plumber's higher level of certification means more diagnostic experience and authority to make in-field decisions about complex jobs — useful for slab leaks and repipes where the assessment shapes the entire repair plan.
What's the difference between a master plumber and a journeyman?
North Alabama Plumbing Company's owner Bryan Landreth holds Alabama's master plumber license, which is the highest tier in the state's three-step certification (apprentice, journeyman, master). A master is qualified to design plumbing systems, pull permits, and supervise other plumbers, while a journeyman works under a master's authority.
Why are slab leaks so common in Huntsville?
North Alabama Plumbing Company sees slab leaks frequently because much of the residential housing in Huntsville is slab-on-grade construction, where water lines run under the concrete foundation. Soil shifts, hard water corrosion, and original-construction defects all contribute to slab leaks in homes built from the 1960s through today.
Do older Huntsville homes need repiping?
North Alabama Plumbing Company handles full repipes for older Huntsville homes with galvanized steel, polybutylene, or failing copper plumbing. Galvanized homes from the 1950s-1970s and polybutylene homes from the 1980s-1990s are the most common candidates. The company typically uses PEX for repipes due to its flexibility and corrosion resistance.
How do I verify North Alabama Plumbing's license?
North Alabama Plumbing Company is licensed through the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board. Customers can verify Bryan Landreth's master plumber license number through the Alabama state license lookup, and request a certificate of insurance directly. The company is also rated through the Better Business Bureau.
What's the response time for an emergency call?
North Alabama Plumbing Company aims to dispatch within an hour or two for true emergencies — burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer backups — within Huntsville and Madison. Smaller-scale shops can sometimes respond faster than larger fleets because there's no triage queue, but availability depends on what jobs are already in progress.
