I did not hire this company because they will not give you any idea of pricing or an hourly rate without paying their "service fee". All I needed was a pipe reconnected to its fitting, literally would take 30 min but the company appeared to be sketchy with pricing or even providing a ballpark figure to be able to compare rates with other companies. Do not recommend.

It's an old drainboard sink. The plumber said the new faucet would not work. Could not work because there wasn't enough room underneath to install the mounting shank. Suggested we remove and replace the entire sink. After he left I was able to fit the mounting shank in by turning it sideways, then rotating it once it was in place. $70 for the visit for them to do nothing.

We paid the tech to come to the house ($70) first thing in the morning. As it turned out, our drain and clog had cleared overnight. So, we didn't really use their services.

Someone from The Waterworks promptly contacted me after I submitted a request through Angi. Bradley showed up right on time and walked me through what he was doing, was very knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and made sure the toilet was re-installed better than it was originally. Thanks!

The work was done well and the technician was great, but the cost of the service was grossly overpriced. For context, I had new floors installed and I needed to pull out the old toilet (which I did with no problem). We decided to purchase a brand new one and opted to have WaterWorks install it (since I didn't want to deal with the wax ring and risk scratching the new floors. I scheduled the appointment and asked how much they charge to install a toilet. The lady told me she couldn't estimate it and that the technician would provide a quote when there. There was a $60 service call fee that would be credited towards the work if I accepted the estimate... (otherwise I would be charged the $60 for the service call no matter what) When the technician arrived, the had a standard price list and said that installing the toilet would be $300!?!?!? - So if there was a standard price list, why couldn't they quote me that price before I agreed to the service appointment? The tech did a great job, was professional and good to work with. However he was done in less than 30 min and I couldn't believe I paid $300 to have a toilet installed. This situation could have been avoided if they would have been up-front about the cost when I setup the appointment.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. In October they came out to install a battery for my Watchdog battery backup for my sump pump. By March the battery backup began beeping incessantly. I added distilled water and the system kept beeping. I knew that the Waterworks technician had run to Home Depot to buy the battery he replaced. So I a) Called Waterworks who said, sorry, you're out of warranty. and b) Called the Watchdog battery backup company who told me that the Waterworks technician installed the wrong battery type and that it would continue to malfunction as a result. When I asked why the system had worked fine till now, Watchdog said this is typical - but the system will eventually break down. Today Waterworks came back out and told me I was out of luck because they only warranty the parts/work for 90-days. I suppose I should be happy they didn't charge me their $60 fee for visiting my house to tell me I was out of that $300 I paid them to install the wrong battery. I have a lot of plumbing choices. I've used Waterworks for years. NEVER AGAIN.

[Member Name Removed], I understand your frustration with your Watchdog battery backup. We installed a Basement Watchdog replacement battery for your Watchdog unit in October of last year, 2020. Watchdog has 2 sizes of 12 volt batteries that are compatible with your system. One larger size with a longer run time, and another smaller size with a shorter run time. Both are compatible with your Watchdog product. The “malfunction” you mentioned is actually “low battery power” due to the batteries short run time. We spoke with our Watchdog representative who reassured us that using a smaller battery run time does not “break down” your unit however, It will not run as long. Many customers frequently request the smaller battery size due to the lower cost. We are always very disappointed when a customer is unhappy with our service. Please know that we used a Watchdog brand replacement product that is authorized for your unit. Best~Joan03/15/2021

Very pleased with Angel who took my call, set up the appointment and informed me when the repairman would be arriving. Next day service for a non emergency repair. Nathan was very professional & nice, he answered all my questions, explained what he was doing & the cost. I will ask for him specifically the next time I need repairs. Thank you Nathan. Thank you Angie's list for the recommendation.

The whole experience went as smoothly as it could possibly go. Called at night when the problem surfaced, talked with Randy (very friendly and helpful) and scheduled an appointment for the next day in the pm. Next day got an advanced notice call about noon and Dan showed up shortly after. He explained the process and the cost and got busy. About 2 hours later he was done - pulled roots out of the drain line. He answered all of my questions and offered helpful tips for the future - and wore a mask the entire time. Very professional.

I have been waiting for a long time to find a plumbing company to be my “go to” and now The Waterworks is it! Best service experience I have had in a long time. First technician came to reinstall the toilet after it leaked and flooded. He did that and discovered the drain was blocked He called out the drain technician who was there in 30 minutes. Both were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and did their work and did it well. And the cost was very reasonable! I highly recommend this company.

Service was terrible. Serviceman tried and tried to sell us a new disposal, told us a small part was the problem, looked on his phone briefly to find the part, couldn't find it, told us if we can find one he will come back and put it in. Another plumber came out, put a snake in the pipes, and fixed it. We will never call Waterworks again.
