WE DID NOT GO WITH WATERWORKS BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO BREAK THE SIDEWALK AND ONLY LEAVE THE YARD GRADED. THE COMPANY WE WENT WITH WAS LESS EXPENSIVE, DID NOT BREAK THE SIDEWALK, AND DID REPLACE THE SOD.
Description of Work: WE HAD A LEAK AROUND THE SHUT OFF VALVE TO THE HOUSE. CALLED THE WATER COMPANY TO TURN OFF WATER AT THE STREET SO A PLUMBER COULD TAKE CARE OF THE INTERIOR PROBLEM. ONCE WATER COMPANY CAME, WE HAD A LEAK BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND THE STREET SO WATER WAS SHUT OFF UNTIL LINE REPLACED. WATERWORKS CAME OUT QUICKLY AND WAS VERY PROFESSION IN THEIR DESCRIPTION OF HOW THEY WOULD INSTALL A NEW LINE TO THE HOUSE.

THEY WERE VERY GOOD ABOUT GETTING SOMEONE OUT QUICKLY. THE BROKEN WASHING MACHINE PIPE NEEDED TO HAVE THE CEMENT CHOPPED AWAY TO GET TO THE FULL PIPE BUT THEY DID THEIR BEST TO LIMIT IT TO A LITTLE CHISLING RATHER THAN MAJOR CHOPPING OF THE CEMENT. THIS TOTALED $400 WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A LOT BUT BETTER THAN A FLOODED BASEMENT. REGARDING THE TOILET THEY GAVE ME 2 OPTIONS, FIX WHAT WAS DAMAGED FOR $150 OR REPLACE ALL THE PARTS FOR $228. THE OTHER PARTS WERE NOT DAMAGED SO NOT SURE WHY THIS WAS OFFERED - I CHOSE JUST TO GET THE DAMAGE FIXED. I DO LIKE USING THIS COMPANY - THEY SEEM CAPABLE, FRIENDLY AND PROMPT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE A LITTLE EXPENSIVE.
Description of Work: WE ACTUALLY HAD THEM OUT TWICE - FIRST TIME TO FIX A BROKEN PIPE FOR OUR WASHING MACHINE AND THE SECOND TIME TO FIX A LEAKING TOILET.

THE COMPANY'S REPRESENTATIVE CAME ON SITE WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS OF SPEAKING WITH ME AND PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, AND WAS ABLE TO COMMIT TO SERVICE THE FOLLOWING DAY. BECAUSE OF WATERWORK'S WILLINGNESS TO WORK IMMEDIATELY WITH MY SCHEDULE, I WAS ABLE TO GET WORK COMPLETED I HAD ALREADY POSTPONED TWICE DUE TO INCOMPETENCE OF OTHER VENDORS. I SINCERELY WISHED I HAD APPROACHED THEM WITH THE PROJECT INITIALLY AS THEY APPEARED EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THE COMPLICATED ISSUES THE JOB ENTAILED.

CALLED AT 10 A.M. AND THEY WERE THERE BY 11:30 A.M. I THINK THEIR COST TO SNAKE A DRAIN IS A LITTLE HIGH BUT THE COST TO REPAIR THE BROKEN DRAIN PIPE WHICH INCLUDED CHIPPING UP THE CEMENT WAS GOOD SO IT EVENED OUT. BOB EVEN SHOWED US HOW TO DO MAINTENANCE OURSELVES TO KEEP THE DRAINS CLEAR IN THE FUTURE. VERY POLITE AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE.

I WAS DISSATISFIED. THEY BROUGHT A REAL SMALL AUGER, WHICH I ALREADY TRIED THE SAME SIZE AND TOLD THEM THAT THEY WOULD NEED A LARGER ONE. 45 MINUTES WAS WASTED WITH THE WRONG SIZE TOOL AND I ENDED UP PAYING FOR THEIR ERROR. BECAUSE OF THIS, I PAID AN EXTRA $38. I WANT TO BE REFUNDED THE $38. THE SERVICEMAN HAD ME TALK WITH THE CS SUPERVISOR, AND I FELT THAT SHE WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL WHEN SHE SAID, "DON'T PAY IT, AND WE WILL JUST SEND IT TO A COLLECTION AGENCY!"
