We Address All Plumbing Emergencies

Your plumbing system has many connected parts, and a problem in one section often affects water flow or drainage elsewhere. We carefully inspect the system, identify the source of the issue, and perform the necessary plumbing work. When sudden plumbing issues arise, our emergency plumbing services provide prompt attention to get the problem under control. Our residential and commercial plumbing services include:

A residential natural gas meter and its associated pipe and regulator

Get Our Natural Gas Line Service

Gas lines supply fuel to water heaters, ranges, fireplaces, dryers, and other appliances. Damaged or aging piping requires attention before it creates problems with gas flow or appliance operation.

Helms Plumbing and Drains serves homes and businesses in Lowell with professional gas line services. Our plumbers work with gas piping and connections to address problems affecting appliance operation. Whether a line needs repair, replacement, or related service, we help keep the gas supply connected to the appliances that depend on it.

Restore Hot Water Supply with Professional Service

Your water heater works every day to provide hot water for bathing, cleaning, washing dishes, and other household or commercial tasks. Leaking tanks, inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises, and water that does not heat properly often indicate worn components or a unit nearing the end of its service life. Our plumbers inspect the water heater, identify the source of the problem, and perform the necessary work to keep the system running reliably. Our water heater services include:

Water heater repairing by a technician Repair

We address leaks, heating problems, faulty components, damaged connections, and other issues that prevent the water heater from working as expected.

Newly installed hot water heater Installation

We install new water heaters and connect them to the property's existing plumbing and water supply.

Replaced conventional water heater Replacement

We replace aging, damaged, or inefficient units when continued repairs are no longer a practical option.

Water filter setup

Keep Your Properties Water Supply Safe

Unusual tastes, odors, cloudy water, and mineral deposits around faucets and appliances often point to water quality problems. Hard water also causes mineral buildup inside plumbing systems and other water-using appliances.

Helms Plumbing and Drains installs water filtration and treatment systems in homes and businesses to protect their water supply. These systems reduce unwanted contaminants, minerals, and bacteria in the water, helping provide cleaner, fresher water for everyday use.

Trenchless sewer pipe line installation service

Address Sewer Problems Without Extensive Excavation

Sewer line trouble often shows up as recurring backups, slow drains, sewage odors, or wastewater that does not drain as it should. We repair and replace sewer lines affected by cracks, blockages, corrosion, or collapsed sections.

When the line and property conditions allow, we also offer trenchless sewer repair, which uses access points to reach the affected pipe with less excavation. This approach helps reduce disruption to driveways, landscaping, and other surfaces around your property.

October 07, 2025 | Gastonia, NC

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.

One of our customers recently contacted us with an urgent plumbing emergency after noticing water leaking through the ceiling of their home. Understandably concerned about the potential damage, they requested immediate assistance. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, our team quickly coordinated a response and was able to dispatch Mac, one of our experienced technicians, to the property within 30 minutes of receiving the call.

Upon arrival, Mac performed a thorough assessment and determined that a broken pipe inside the ceiling was the source of the leak. To access the damaged section, he carefully opened the ceiling, repaired the broken pipe, and ensured the leak was completely resolved. Thanks to the quick response and expertise of our team, the issue was addressed before more extensive water damage could occur, giving the customer peace of mind and restoring their plumbing system to proper working order.

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.

The Latchana family was on their way out Friday evening when he realized that the last flush in their powder room toilet hadn't gone down. He reached out and scheduled an appointment for the following morning. Our technician Chris arrived at the scheduled time, accessed the problem, and was able to clear the toilet with an auger. Apparently, the head from one of those toilet bowl cleaner wands had gotten lodged in the trap way. A couple more test flushes ensured that everything would drain properly, and Chris was on his way.

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.

This customer was helping her mom sell her home and some minor plumbing issues came up on the inspection report. Brandy got her on our schedule when it was convenient for them. Mac was able to replace a few bad cartridges in the tub valves and tighten down a loose faucet in the kitchen so that they could close out the sale of the home.

Mac tested their water and offered Mrs. Butler 2 different systems to remove the Chlorine and other chemicals from their municipal water. They discussed it overnight and approved the install of our H2.0 whole house carbon filter. Mac and Dillon installed the new system in a few hours and the Butler's had clean contaminant free water throughout the entire home for years to come and less than what they were spending on bottled water alone.

Josh bought a home with an existing tankless water heater that he was unsure about the age and maintenance of. We scheduled Stephen to perform the manufacturers recommended annual maintenance on the unit. Stephen flushed the unit with a descaler to improve efficient heating of the water as well as testing and cleaning multiple other components inside the unit. Not only will this help with efficiency but it will prolong the life of the appliance.

When Rebecca's 20+ year old Rinnai tankless water heater finally quit she called us in a panic. She was interested in replacement options and recirculating models for a new tankless water heater. With a house full of family and no hot water we knew we had to help quick. Chris went over their options with pricing, and they chose to upgrade to a recirculating model that would solve the delivery time to their guest bathrooms on the other side of their home. Chris and Dillon changed out the old unit with the new and the customers family had hot water by dinner time the same day.
