Helwig Plumbing Co.
Company Overview
Backflow valve assessment. We provide services for replacing and repairing water heaters, bathtubs, showers, toilets, sinks, faucets, garbage disposals, and frost-free hose bibs. We serve Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville, and surrounding areas. My expertise includes plumbing remodels and new builds.
In 1977, I started my plumbing training in the San Francisco Bay Area with a small plumbing firm. I quickly joined an apprenticeship program, where I attended school two evenings a week for four years, minus summer vacations. I worked for several plumbing firms during this program, gaining experience in diverse plumbing installations. In 1988, I launched my own business in San Jose. I then moved my family to Klamath Falls, OR, where I ran Helwig Plumbing Co. during the 1990s. Currently, I live in the picturesque Carson Valley, specifically the Minden-Gardnerville region, delivering services via Helwig Plumbing Co..
I attended a four-year plumbing apprenticeship program from 1982 to 1986. For more than 15 years, I have been self-employed. I graduated from high school in San Jose and pursued over two years of general education at community colleges. I also worked as a partial owner and estimator for a mid-sized plumbing firm. My responsibilities included supervising staff, managing projects, CAD drafting, and overseeing company operations. I am now focused on addressing the service and repair needs of the Carson City area, including Minden and Gardnerville.

Ken M.Great job, prompt service!! It was great to have Don, a local, knowledgeable, and experienced plumber on the job. Don was able to quickly diagnose what was wrong, propose a solution, give an accurate timeline, and a fair price. I would highly recommend Helwig Plumbing for those in the Gardnerville area!!
Brittany D.Came to my house within 2 hours of calling. Super nice, and really reasonable! He knew exactly what was wrong and fixed it quickly. Would definitely recommend!
What a nice experience , not just Don's knowledge but his friendly attitude. Felt like we had a good job and made a friend. He will be our one and only call for any future needs. He's prompt and answers any questions. Thanks Don appreciate a job well done.
Erin P.Don is very responsive, prompt and on time, and does good work at a reasonable price.
Called Don on a Tuesday afternoon to ask about a hot water recirculating system. He asked a couple questions, quoted a price and said he could do the job the next day at 3. He showed up right at 3 and went to work. He explained the process to me as he worked and was done in an hour. The bill was the price quoted. Extremely pleased. Highly recommended.
Daniel G.Don was great to work with. I called him to replace a faucet which he did but he also noticed a small leak on my sink trap and replaced it at no extra charge. I would highly recommend him for any plumbing project.
Don was fantastic. When I called he was able to come right away. He was able to fix an old Moen shower faucet that had broken. He had to run to Carson City for parts and came back the same day to get the job done. Extremely nice and very professional. His prices are very reasonable. I am completely satisfied and will recommend him to everyone.
