Meet the Team Behind Alabama Pumper
A Family-Owned Septic and Drain Service Company You Can Trust
Jay and Paula Hancock are the husband-and-wife team behind Alabama Pumper, a trusted provider of septic tank pumping, septic inspections, sewer line cleaning, hydro jetting, grease trap pumping, and wastewater system services throughout North and Central Alabama.
Their story began in 2011 with Jay, a pickup truck, and a commitment to honest work, reliable service, and treating customers the right way. As demand grew and the business expanded, Paula stepped in to oversee operations, customer service, scheduling, and day-to-day business management. Together, they built Alabama Pumper into a respected septic and drain services company known for dependable workmanship, responsive service, and long-term customer relationships.
Over the years, the Hancocks have developed strong working relationships with the Jefferson County Sewer Department, the Jefferson County Health Department, local inspectors, contractors, and industry professionals throughout the region. Their experience and commitment to doing things the right way help ensure projects are completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable regulations and industry standards.
From routine septic tank pumping and drain cleaning to complex sewer line repairs, lift station service, hydro jetting, grease trap systems, and commercial wastewater solutions, Alabama Pumper has the equipment, expertise, and experience to handle projects of all sizes. Today, homeowners, businesses, restaurants, property managers, contractors, and commercial facilities throughout Birmingham, Hoover, Trussville, Huntsville, Madison, and surrounding communities trust Alabama Pumper to keep their wastewater systems operating properly.
What truly sets Alabama Pumper apart is the level of personal involvement and accountability behind every service call. As a family-owned and operated company, Jay and Paula Hancock remain actively involved in the business every day, ensuring customers receive the same level of care and professionalism that helped build the company from the ground up.
Paula oversees scheduling, customer communication, business operations, and team development. In many cases, she is still the person who answers the phone when customers call. By taking the time to understand each situation before dispatching a technician, she helps ensure customers receive the right service, clear communication, and a smooth experience from start to finish.
While Paula manages operations, Jay continues working directly in the field alongside the team. From diagnosing septic and drainage issues to overseeing complex repairs and commercial projects, he remains committed to making sure every job is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
