Great service and they go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction! We used Helmer to repair our septic system, when the septic company we had been using for years, failed to correctly fix the problem. Helmer came in and fixed the issue and saved us thousands of dollars! Highly recommend Helmer's services!

Fantastic service! Got an appointment the next day to have my septic tank sucked out. Aaron did a great job and gave me good info to keep my system running well. Will definitely continue to use for years to come.

Overall good experience in having a routine service for our septic system. Drew answered my call, called before he arrived, explained the service and gave me some tips on how to keep the septic system operating correctly. Great customer service skills!
