Advanced Drain Cleaning for a Healthy Plumbing System

At Helms Plumbing and Drains, our drain cleaning service goes beyond clearing a simple blockage. Our process begins with a detailed inspection using a small camera to locate hidden damage, buildup, or recurring blockages inside your pipes. We then use advanced cable clearing equipment to break through stubborn clogs.

For grease, mineral buildup, and heavy scale, we use hydro jetting, which uses high pressure water to completely clean the pipe walls. When debris cannot be flushed away, we carefully remove it manually to restore full performance. This approach helps prevent recurring issues and keeps your plumbing system healthy for the long term.

Septic system installation

Septic System Repair and Maintenance Services

A properly functioning septic system is essential for safe and efficient wastewater management, and it requires regular care to perform at its best. We provide septic system installation, repair, and maintenance services to support long-term system performance throughout the year.

When issues occur, our certified technicians quickly diagnose the problem and carry out effective repairs to restore proper function. We also offer routine maintenance services, including septic tank inspections and pumping, drain field monitoring, filter servicing and part replacements. Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected failures, extends the lifespan of your septic system, and protects your property.

Jeremy noticed water seeping out around the base of his toilet when he flushed it, so he reached out to Helms Plumbing and Drains LLC. Brandy was able to coordinate with his work schedule for a convinient appointment time. Stephen and Dillon disconnected and removed the leaking toilet to inspect the flange and wax seal underneath. They ended up replacing the bolts and wax seal with new, and then reset the toilet and caulked around the base for aesthetics and easy cleaning.

Katies kitchen faucet wouldnt turn off after she used it Saturday morning. She tried turning the valves under the cabinet off, but had no luck there either. Brandy received her call, and got Chris scheduled to go out A.S.A.P. He finished the call he was at and arrived onsite in about an hoiur. chris changed out the failed shut off valves under the sink, nand helped her find the correct parts for her kitchen faucet online so she could order them. He made another trip when her parts came in to repair her faucet and test. Everything is working properly now.

When Matt's tenant alerted him that one their toilets were leaking around the base he reached out to us. We were able to get him on the schedule and had our technician Mac onsite a few hours later. Mac quickly determined that both toilets hadn't had new seals in a long time. He communicated this back to Matt with repair options and the cost before getting to work. Once Matt approved the pricing, Mac completed 2 pull, seal, and resets leaving both toilets securely bolted to the floor with new wax seal, bolts, and fresh caulking around the base for easier cleaning.Add a Note

Mr. White was hearing some bubbling and gurgling noises from his downstairs toilet when they ran water in other areas of their home that day. Brandy got him scheduled for that afternoon, and when Dillon and Stephen got there his clean out was leaking down to the curb. They were able find the best access point, clear the tree roots out of a damaged connection, and located it for Mr. White using our sewer pipe camera and underground locator. Stephen and Dillon were able to provide an accurate repair cost to the damaged underground drain pipe with the use of the proper equipment and their skills to use it. Mr. White can rest assured that his tree root problem is gone for good.

Our technicians Stephen and Dillon removed one of the toilets and used our professional drain equipment to clear out the clog, and inspected the drain with our HD camera equipment. Last, they reset and connected the toilet with a new wax seal, bolts, and fresh caulk.

When the owner of this property got word from their tenant that the electric water heater was leaking in the floor he scheduled a same day appointment. Stephen got out ther quick to evaluate and gave options like suggesting an emergency pan and drain. He got the old water heater removed, hauled away for recycle, and the new water heater installed in a new emergency pan with a new drain to the outside of the home. When this water heater finally quits atleast it wont leak all over the floor again. The tenant had their hot water restored the same day.

After weeks of complaining about lukewarm showers and a rapidly emptying hot water supply, their aging 8-year-old gas water heater finally gave out, leaving them with nothing but a sputter of cold water. We were able to quickly schedule an appointment to install a 40-gallon standard vent gas water heater to ensure the family had an adequate supply of hot water when needed.
