Everything we repair and install

Pick the page that matches your problem, or call (855) 575-2890 and describe it. Each service page explains symptoms, what the plumber checks, what changes the price and what you can safely do while you wait. The list below is the full set, and the groups under it explain how the services fit together.

Emergency repairs

Problems that cannot wait

Some plumbing problems get worse every hour, and these are the pages for them. A burst pipe floods a house in minutes, and a sewer backup is a health problem as well as a mess. If you are in the middle of one, shut off the water first and then call the 24/7 line.

Burst pipe repair covers the shutoff, the repair and the cleanup questions that follow. Water service line repair deals with the pipe between the meter and the house, which is where many leaks outside the walls begin. Leak detection finds the leak you cannot see, such as a high bill with no visible water.

For a toilet that will not stop running, a toilet repair is often quick. A leaking or dead disposal is covered by garbage disposal repair, and a faucet that will not shut off is a faucet repair job.

Water heaters

Hot water, repaired or replaced

A storage tank water heater typically lasts about 10 to 15 years according to the US Department of Energy, and tankless units about 20. Helena grew fast from the 1990s on, so many tanks in the area are in the age range where decisions come up. The right page depends on what the heater is doing.

Use water heater repair when you have no hot water, a pilot problem, a bad element or a small leak at a fitting. Use water heater replacement when the tank itself is leaking or the unit is old enough that repairs no longer make sense. Planned upgrades belong on water heater installation, and on-demand systems are covered under tankless water heater.

A leaking tank is an emergency, and a heater that quit overnight is a cold-morning problem that can often be handled the same day when appointments are available. Call and the dispatcher will help you decide.

Drains and sewers

Clogs, backups and the main line

Drain problems range from a slow bathroom sink to sewage in the tub. Start with drain cleaning for a single clogged fixture or a slow drain. If clogs keep coming back, hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, scale and roots from the pipe wall instead of poking a hole through them.

When more than one fixture backs up at once, the main line is the likely cause. Sewer line cleaning restores flow, sewer inspection uses a camera to show what is wrong inside, and sewer line repair handles cracked, rooted or collapsed sections. A camera look before a repair is usually cheaper than guessing and digging in the wrong place.

Sewage backups should be treated as a health hazard. Keep people and pets away, stop using water in the house and call the line.

Planned work

Installs, upgrades and whole-house projects

Not everything is an emergency. Remodels, fixture swaps and aging pipes are better handled on a calm weekday with the price agreed in advance. Plumbing installation covers new fixtures, supply lines and rough-ins for remodels.

Repiping replaces failing or pinhole-prone lines throughout a house and is a bigger project that deserves careful planning. If you are weighing a sewer repair against a replacement, a sewer inspection gives you a picture before you commit to a price.

Commercial

Shops, offices and rentals

Businesses cannot always wait for morning when a restroom or a floor drain fails. Commercial plumbing covers after-hours repairs and planned work for small shops, offices and rental properties around Helena. Tell the dispatcher it is a business line so the right plumber is sent.
