We tried to fix some "simple" issues with YouTube advice and quickly got over our heads with both our showers. Danny made time to come over and see what our issues were. He fixed one shower the day after we called, he didn't have time to fix the other. Danny did give us advice on how to prep for his guys and save money by saving them time. Randy and his helper were great as well! We will recommend and use Helmus plumbing for any future issues.

Had an emergency pipe leak from the water pump, wasn't sure about the previous company I had come out and was referred to these guys! The service guy was sort of quiet, but the work done was great! He took everything apart, and then even moved pipping to compact the area! It looks nice and oriented and now I'm assured it will last! I couldn't believe the end price also! I'm so glad I went with my instinct and called somebody else, let alone a reliable company I was referred too!

We hired Helmus Plumbing for replacement of our old hot water heater as well as replacing a leaky sprinkler shut off valve. These guys were excellent. Their price was reasonable, they showed up on time, were friendly and respectful, did the job like professionals, were efficient (finished the job in 1.5 hrs - faster than they had estimated), explained what we needed to know, and made sure to check everything out before they left. They told us to call them if we see any issues. They stand behind their work.
