- Precision Plumbing & Heating

Our 2016 Extreme Precision Makeover recipient had an extremely challenging year, however, she still moved forward. This woman has gone through some heartbreaking times. Five months ago, Helmi Courtade lost her husband, Chris, after a four year battle with cancer. With the loss of his income and the overwhelming medical bills, she found herself in a difficult situation when life threw another punch.

While her husband was sick in the hospital, Courtade had a flood in her basement, which severely damaged her furnace and water heater. It was an honor to bring warmth back into Helmi’s home. We were able to install a new Trane heating system, as well as a new water heater.
