"Billy did a great job on assessing our plumbing issue. Come to find out, we did NOT have problems, but it was good to get a professional to look at the pipes with the really cool camera they have. Billy was professional, easy-going, and competent at his job. He had all the equipment/supplies he needed to complete the job on hand. He took the time to discuss with me many aspects of the plumbing in our household to help me understand better. I feel a peace of mind that we were able to know that our plumbing is just fine! A++++ :-)"

Deborah O.

"Like everyone else, I’m a scaredy cat when it comes to calling a plumber. Visions of torn-up floors and pipes and an empty bank account kept me crazy. Nothing like that happened when I called HEP to diagnose and fix whatever was causing my eleventy billion dollar water bill. Robbie is the technician who came to the rescue. He was prompt, polite, helpful, and very knowledgeable. He showed my daughter and me how to check some things and reassured us our problem was not earth shattering and could be fixed. Ta da! I have lost my fear of approaching any faucet in my home! I highly recommend HEP and most especially Robbie if you need plumbing repair."

Delee F.

"Billy and Ed came to unclog the drain in the double sink of my master bath. They were prompt, efficient, professional in their manner and appearance. Thank you for the job well done! Will definitely use HEP again!"

Schedule annual water heater flushing to prevent sediment buildup.
Install backflow prevention devices in flood-prone basements.
Replace aging supply hoses on washing machines and dishwashers every five years.
