Casey, Zach and Brandon were on the ball. They did a great job fixing our sewer problem and were very nice and courteous. I would definitely recommend them to everyone

The cold snap we had was very bad as this area is not used to temps that low. Colby Puckett was on time, very informative, found my leak and replaced the pipe and had my water back on very quickly. I highly recommend him for customer service, information, professionalism and how thorough and quickly the job was done. Thank you.

Jose and Jorge saved my home. We couldn't use the bathroom and it was overflowing with dirty water. Thank you so much. I guess the turkey wasn't the only one that got stuffed this Thanksgiving...

I would reccomend HEP to anyone needing repairs around their home. We called them after struggling for several days to locate a severe leak in our main water line. They came out and completely redid our entire water line in less than 2 days from the initial call. During the process we met with 4 different employees (Tommy, Mathew, Jimmy, unfortunately i didnt catch the last man's name) all of which were very polite and professional. They answered every question we had and worked very well with us on not digging up our entire yard to install the new line. They even covered their shoes so as not to track our basement when they finished the install and reattachment of the line. For sure would use this company again if needed.

Jorge and Billy installed new commode. They were very professional and knowledgeable. Very friendly and courteous. Highly impressed with both of them. They explained everything they were doing. I will definitely use HEP again. Next day Tanner and Jimmy disconnected my well and got me connected to county water. They were also very professional and very helpful by explaining what there were going to do and how they were going to do it. Once water line connected, they leveled out the yard, planted grass and covered with hay. They also added gravel to my driveway. Very courteous and friendly. I will again use HEP with any future jobs. THANK YOU JORGE , BILLY, TANNER AND JIMMY FOR SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!!!
