    I have used Helps Drain & Septic in the past as well as recently and theyve always been great. Came out in a pinch and got us taken care of quickly. Rod and his guys are great. Will definitely use again in the future if needed.

    “HELPS” had provided service to our home several times in past years for an ongoing issue which culminated in the discovery of damaged city water pipes and ultimately resulted in excavation and repair to the exterior water service system. They were always very responsive and thorough addressing the back up of water into our basement and offering strategies ( use liquid not powder soap, use cheap toilet paper not plush and pricey TP) which we still adhere to! We recently needed service at my aunt’s house and the service man came right away, he thoroughly investigated the issue and offered his professional assessment. It is also a bigger issue as we had suspected, and will likely require more extensive work but we absolutely appreciated his quick response, the time he took to explain the issue and a VERY reasonable service call charge! “HELPS” is true to their name!

    They were very polite and prompt. Got my issue taken care of fast, I definitely will give them a call back if I have any more issue and if you need help, I recommend these guys

    Rod is absolutely phenomenal, and a pleasure to work with. Personal, concise, and willing to go the extra mile, Rod is FANTASTIC in your time of need. We needed a look at a possible sewer backup, and Rod went above and beyond to diagnose our problem in a precise, clear way. When we needed to consult a plumber *after* our initial issue, Rod told us the plumber could contact him directly (after our service call!), to help identify and fix the issue. Truly a gentleman, and so helpful in what could have been an awful circumstance. On behalf of the younger generation, Rod deserves all the praise. Thank you for being awesome! :)

The young man who did the work was professional. Honestly, this business has been my go to for years and they just keep getting better! Hands down 5+++ stars!

    I want to say a big very special thank you to Rod and all the people involved for their quick and fast and excellent job at the Humane Society of North Iowa on Monday June 5, 2017. You people are a life saver. As a volunteer out at the shelter. I appreciate your work and job performance. Your company is a first class act. I want to show my appreciation for the kind gentleman that drives out there that way. He always waves to me when he is coming and leaving when I am walking the dogs. He is very polite and considerate. You all keep up the great work. Thanks to all of you again very much.

  • Review 54 (2023-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    The guys at Helps we’re very helpful. We have an issue of standing water in a floor drain in our basement and issues with our stack leaking. They had to come back several times to help us because of our issue. Each time they were on time, courteous and answered all of our questions. I spoke with the owner Rod several times on the phone and worked with Joe at the house both times. While they are unfortunately not able to fix our issue (indoor plumbing is the cause of our issue not the outside drains) they took the time to pinpoint the issue to make our time with a plumber go a lot faster. Joe stayed with the drain camera and checked all of our lines out. He even drew a diagram for me to give to the plumber to help answer any of their questions. I would highly recommend working with the Helps team if you have any drain or septic issues!

  • Review 55 (2023-08-04 - Rating: 5)

    Quick, professional service that helped me with a gutter, underground drainage problem.

  • Review 56 (2023-05-19 - Rating: 5)

    The service techs showed up in a timely manner. They explained the various procedures that were being made available for me to choose from. Then they went to work and got my drains cleaned out, a camera was absolutely the best way to go so I have a lot of confidence that they took care of my problems. The guys did not spill a drop and left the area as good as it was before they got here.I would recommend Helps to anyone who is having issues with their drains! You will not be disappointed!

    What a reliable company. Had our sewer back up and called Helps Drain & Septic.They came within a day and had the sewer flowing back to normal in no time. Cleaned up afterwards and double checked that all was fine. Quoted me a price and charged not a penny more. Will not hesitate to call them in the future.
