THIS WAS THE RUDEST COMPANY I HAVE DEALT WITH. I SPOKE WITH A MAN AND HE SAID THEY COULD GET OUT RIGHT AWAY, THEN PUT ME ON HOLD. WHEN HE CAME BACK ON THE LINE HE SAID, "MY SUPERVISOR SAID WE CAN'T COME TODAY IT WOULD BE A WEEK OR SO". THE FOLLOW DAY A WOMAN CALLED AND WAS TELLING ME WHAT I NEEDED DONE, AND NO ONE HAS EVEN SEEN WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SHE WAS ARROGANT AND NOT VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. JUST HORRIBLE.
Description of Work: I CALLED THE COMPANY FOR AN ESTIMATE FOR SOME UNDER GROUND DRAINAGE ISSUES.

THE WORKMANSHIP WAS OF GOOD QUALITY-SO FAR. PRICE WAS EXPENSIVE, BUT I WOULD NOT RATE THEM DOWN FOR THAT. I WOULD HAVE TO GRADE THEM DOWN ON COMMUNICATION, THE WOMAN WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE DID NOT COMMUNICATE WELL WITH THE PLUMBERS. THEY HAD TO COME OUT THREE TIMES TO FIX A TOILET AND THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE FOR THE HOUSE CALL, BUT AFTER TALKING TO THEM ABOUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS UNFAIR, THEY DID TAKE OFF THE CHARGE. WHEN THEY PUT IN MY WATER HEATER, THE REQUIREMENTS ARE TO PUT IN A OVERFLOW PIPE. THEY MADE THE OVER PIPE OUT OF COPPER WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OVER THE TOP, THE PIPE DID NOT NEED TO BE MADE OF COOPER SINCE IT WAS AN OVERFLOW PIPE.
Description of Work: THEY PUT COPPER PIPES IN FROM THE STREET TO THE BATHROOM AS WELL AS FIXED THE TOILET.

REPAIR STAFF WAS NONCOMMITTAL AND UNCOMMUNICATIVE, EXECUTIVE STAFF WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND UNWILLING TO NEGOTIATE. VERY UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE WITH AN EXPENSIVE AND UNRELIABLE PLUMBING CORPORATION.
Description of Work: THIS VENDOR WAS CALLED OUT BY MY NEIGHBOR TO DEAL WITH A JOINT SEWER LINE THAT WAS CLOGGED AND FLOODING OUR BASEMENTS. AFTER THREE HOURS OF AUGERING AND SENDING A CAMERA DOWN MY SEWER DRAIN, THE REPAIRMEN LEFT MY HOME, LEAVING A RISING WATER LEVEL OF OVER TWO FEET, AND NO USE OF MY OWN PLUMBING. THEY COULD NOT COMMIT TO A SOLUTION, NOR A DATE OR TIME WHEN THEY WOULD BE BACK TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

ON TIME, POLITE, STILL HAS TO COME BACK TO ADJUST TEMPERATURE ON FAUCET, WILL WAIT TO SEE IF THAT IS GOING TO COST ANYTHING. IT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND I HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE FROM COMPANIES TELL ME IT COULD BE DONE WITHOUT RIPPING WALL DOWN AND REPLACING ENTIRE THING. I THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T COST AS MUCH TO FIX AND WASN'T THRILLED THAT I WAS CHARGED FOR THE TIME THAT HE HAD TO GO GET THE PART, BUT IT WAS AN OLD PART AND PROBABLY CAN'T EXPECT THEM TO CARRY AN ENTIRE PLUMBING STORE ON THEIR TRUCK.

THEY RESPONDED VERY QUICKLY. THEY WERE HERE WITHIN AN HOUR. OF COURSE, WHEN THEY ARRIVED, WE WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HE INSPECTED OUR PLUMBING AND LET US KNOW ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT MIGHT BE THE SOURCE. HE ALSO LET US KNOW ABOUT A FEW OTHER PLUMBING PROBLEMS WE NEED TO ADDRESS. I WILL BE CALLING THEM TO COME AND DO THE WORK.

THE PLUMBER WAS SUPPOSE TO ARRIVE BETWEEN 8:00AM AND 8:15AM PER WATERWORKS PHONE CALL AT 7:30AM THE DAY OF SERVICE. HE DID NOT ARRIVE UNTIL JUST AFTER 9:00AM ALTHOUGH HE RECORDED 8:40AM AS HIS START TIME ON THE BILL. WE HAD WATERWORKS DO SOME WORK FOR US ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO BEFORE WE WERE A MEMBER OF ANGIE'S LIST AND WERE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE EXPERIENCE. THIS TIME HOWEVER WE WERE NOT. HE WAS COURTEOUS AND ACTED PROFESSIONALLY, BUT AS SAID BEFORE HE WAS AN HOUR LATE, STARTED HIS CLOCK 20 MINUTES BEFORE HE ARRIVED, TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO GO GET MORE PARTS (THERE IS A HARDWARE STORE 6 BLOCKS AWAY), AND TOOK 30 MINUTES TO FILL OUT THE PAPER WORK (STILL ON THE CLOCK). AFTER TALKING TO WATERWORKS THEY TOOK 2 HOURS OFF THE 9.5 HOUR BILL AND EVEN AT THAT IT SEEMED EXCESSIVE.
