Connor from Building Waters in Racine, WI came to my home to add new light switches and install my coach light on the exterior of my home, he was very pleasant, fast, and was even kind enough to change out an old light bulb in my foyer light fixture. The service that he gave today was above and beyond! We were very, very pleased with the work that Connor did in our home. 100 Stars!

Perfect. They called as soon as they got the message, and were at the house 3 hours later installing a new water heater.

Wes and Jill were very polite and professional with initial phone call. They listened to my questions with a legitimate concern and desire to help. Wea agreed to meet me at my house same day to assess my issue. He met me on time and was able to diagnose and fix my problem with no charge. I fully intend to use them for any plumbing needs at my new (old) house.

Difficulty removing 60 year old elbow but once removed the reassembly was done very efficiently.

They're fantastic. My husband didn't complain about it, so the price must have been pretty good. I think he told me and it was fairly inexpensive. I would give them an A all the way around; they were fantastic.

After 2 hours of trying to clear a disposer plugged kitchen sink, I violated Man Rule #1 and let my wife call a plumber. Building Waters had a plumber to my house within 20 minutes and he had it cleared within 15! The young man was polite, neat & efficient. I've learned my lesson and next time will call them first.

Mike came and tried so hard to break through the roots. When he realized his equipment wasn't going to do the job, he called Econo Sewer and Drain. They came out first thing in the morning and got the job done. I appreciate the fact that Building Waters tried so hard and then found someone to help me. I would strongly recommend them, they are awesome.

One of best service calls I ever made! They were thankfully able to provide same day service for a non-emergency small bathroom remodel. The customer service rep was very nice and accommodating. I had all supplies on site. The plumber was nice, respectful. Installed the equipment, cleaned up after, done. Easy, no having to schedule apt once to get estimate, and then again to do the work.

Overall it went great, I had a pleasant experience with great convo, jokes etc. They were prompt, cleaned up and had great insight on my questions and speculation on my end. They definitely had the experience you hope for when it comes to plumbing needs.

I recently purchased a house in the Mount Pleasant area that has been a plumbing and heating nightmare!

I called up building waters when I came home and my house was freezing back in January. They came out that same day and took care of what was wrong. They were prompt, courteous and the price was good. They explained to me what was going on and how I could avoid it happening again in the future. 

I needed some additional work done and they were my first choice. Since January, Wes and his crew have been in and out of my house so much so that I was comfortable enough giving them a key so they could come and go during the day and get the work done without me having to take a day off of work to watch them.  Very professional. 
 I have had my entire house re plumbed and had new HVAC piping installed with new baseboard heaters. I was also having my bathroom remodeled and they took care of the plumbing in there as well as setting my new tub. They have replaced my sump pump when it went out and my basement flooded, cleaned out the roots in my sewer drain that was backing up into my basement, and have taken care of additional issues as they have snuck up on me. I can’t say enough about these guys and the great work they have done. They are now my go to company for any other heating/air conditioning and plumbing needs that I have!

I would recommend them in a heartbeat and wouldn’t think of using anyone else!!

Wesley, the contractor, was excellent.  We had an emergency with several inches of water in the basement.  Wesley showed up the same day we called him.  He immediately assessed the situation and controlled the flooding.  He made the repairs to the burst hose bib and several other repairs we requested within a couple days.  His work was excellent.  His price was extremely reasonable.  He was always professional.  Wesley also referred us to a restoration service to repair the water damage.  That contractor also did an excellent job.

 

I would recommend Wesley to any of my friends and would certainly use him again if the need arises.

I really wasn't happy with their performance at all.  They don't have that good of a grade on Angie's List. I basically went through them because a friend of mine told me about them but I just wasn't impressed with their work or their attitude towards the work. They probably did their plumbing about a month ago. The time they put in to what they charged me was really just ridiculous. They spent about 6hrs and charged me about $2200 and the materials were maybe $50 -$100. I had to fix half of it. They were here when they were supposed to be here. I have to give them a D for professionalism because of some of the comments that came out of their mouth. You've got a contractor that comes to your house and you ask them to do something and they say, 'I didn't want to work that hard today'. That is what he said to me. I am like,  are you kidding me? You just said that to me, 'I don't want to work that hard today?' That is what he said to me when I asked him to do the plumbing the way I wanted it done. That is ridiculous! I would not recommend them to anybody.
Response from Building Waters
"This customer called us for a quote. He had started a remodel job and did not want a permit pulled for his job. We installed the piping according to state code. After the work was performed, the customer had upset someone and was caught without a permit and now needed one obtained. I went to bat for him with the inspector, (not in the quote) obtained his permit and kept all fines for him at bay. The work we had performed was legal and passed inspection. The customer then wanted things change to his specifications(not in the quote) and we obliged. As far as I know, we have to go back and set fixtures yet on this job.This job is not closed out on our books. The customer was slow in paying in accordance to the contract and never contacted me, in regard to his dissatisfaction. I can't resolve issues a customer may have if they do not approach me with concerns they have. We as a company welcome complaints. Its the only way to become a better service provider to our customers"

It leaked after he put it in. He tore a bunch of stuff apart. There was a lot more cost because we used them for a couple more things. It got more expensive. I just wouldn't recommend them. I would not use them again. He worked on our shower tub. That was great. That was 'A' work. He tore apart a lot of stuff and then it just got too expensive. He wanted to sledgehammer our washtub apart. I found another solution about that. I was very disappointed with that.
Response from Building Waters
"To remove a concrete wash tub for replacement we use a sledgehammer and buckets. They are way to heavy to remove as a whole. That's common practice for all plumbing companies. The strainer on those concrete tubs are molded in the concrete pour of the tub and it's common for the strainer to rot out. That is why replace them.We cannot warranty fixtures and parts we did not furnish."
