I called at about 9:15 in the morning. By 10:00, one of the owners of the business arrived. The installation was complete within an hour and a half. At the completion, he walked me through all the components of the system and gave me detailed information on how and when to perform routine tests and solutions for problems that may arise in the future (especially if there is an extended power outage again).
Description of Work: Replaced main sump pump, installed new battery for back-up pump, reconfigured the PVC plumbing for the pumps and installed two new check valves.

The repair went fine. The plumber was tidy and courteous. And the toilet has not leaked since the repair was made.
Description of Work: I contacted Wendricks-White about a leak at the base of the new toilet they had installed in our master bathroom in July. The plumber removed the toilet, installed a new wax ring (even though he said the existing one, installed only a few months prior, was in good condition), re-installed the toilet and caulked around the base of the toilet to add stability. He speculated that my husband, being temporarily handicapped with a bad hip, had inadvertently loosened the toilet. They made the repair at no charge.

The repair went about as well as one could expect.
Description of Work: Wendricks-White excavated and replaced a portion of the sewer line and installed an outside cleanout. The crew arrived on time, and completed the work in one day, as promised, with minimal inconvenience to us. The crew had to dig through the main flower bed in front of the house, but took the time and care to salvage and replant most of the flowers and one medium-sized bush that was in the digging path. Furthermore, their bid was significantly less than estimates we had received from other plumbers we contacted.

Very Friendly, cleaned-up and was quick. Cost of replacement water heater service was $926 with labor. I felt this was a bit costly, especially when I looked up the wholesale cost of the unit. But I am not a plumber, and have a habit of screwing projects up...lol.
Description of Work: (First Review) Replaced failing water heater - was thinking of a On-Demand Gas Heater, but after a discussion with Wendricks I decided to go with the traditional gas unit. (50 gallon Rheem Mod# 22U50fl) They disposed of the old water heater. On a separate occasion, had the company unplug a drain line - was very through and explained what had occurred. This cost $120.00

Service was extremely fast, very professional, and reasonably priced for a late in the day emergency service call. Replaced a dead pump with one that was better that the one a had, provided some excellent advice to mitigate the water problem, and was very through.
Description of Work: Had the lower level of my house flood due to the large amount of snow that melted, and my sump pump died during the day while I was at work. Lower level is finished and is divided into 3 rooms (including a Bedroom), a Bathroom, and Laundry Room.

The service went well. The plumber arrived not long after I called to have someone come out. He also was courteous and professional. He also attached one of the handles on the bathtub which was not attached at the time. I forgot to ask him to do that when he came out, so I'm glad that the did. I originally asked him to replace the hot and cold water shut off valves for the sink, since I couldn't turn them myself. He was able to get them to turn without replaceing them, thus saving me money. so I'm glad for his honesty.
Description of Work: The plumber replaced a cartridge(washer) for the bathroom sink. He also replaced the handle on the toilet and the washer in one of the bathtub faucets.

The job went very well from initial quote from Ken to completion. Four plumbers worked from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to complete the job in one day, as promised. All were professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
Description of Work: Wendricks-White removed all the original 85-year-old hot & cold iron water pipes and replaced with copper, added an additional outside water faucet, installed sprinkers near the furnace and water heater, removed and replaced original laundry sink and removed a shower in the basement that was not compliant with code.

Great response. Note - service date was 12/25. Although I entered 12/25 on the calendar it keeps changing to 12/24.
Description of Work: Had a couple of inches of water in part of the basement due to sump pump not being able to keep up. I didn't think I would be able to get anyone out on Christmas Day but Wendrick White answered right away and he came out immediately. What a lifesaver. Had out of town company and more family on the way for Christmas dinner. He replaced the sump pump and the water drained pretty quickly. I'd give them an A plus for their response. Of course I paid extra for off hours service but it was well worth it. Appears to be a better pump than the last one. Last one was put in by a different plumbing company and only lasted a little over a year.

We couldn't have been happier. I was lucky to catch that the sump pump in our extractor sump had died before the water came over the top of the sump well. I called Wendrick's late on a Sunday night and left a message (they had an option to page them for emergency service). They called back first thing on Monday morning and had a plumber on site at our house by 10 am the same day. Their plumber was great-he was prompt, neat and efficient. He also saved us some $$$ by advising that it wasn't worth buying an expensive battery back-up system for our extractor pump-he suggested only investing the extra money in a unit for our main ground water sump. He also took care to do a few little extras like replacing the (inexpensive) check valves on the sump pump drain pipes. These are little $10 parts that can save a ton of grief. Overall, a really great experience all the way around-responsive, prompt, great quality work and good advice at a fair price.
Description of Work: They replaced a dead sump pump in our extractor sump (for our whole house humidifier) and also installed a new primary and battery back-up sump pumps in our main ground water sump. They provided the pump for the extractor sump replacement and I provided the combo primary/battery back-up unit (purchased at a home improvement store) that they installed in our main sump.

After an initial hiccup where someone didn't call me back twenty four hours after asking for an estimate and me having to call to check in, they were very apologetic and took care of me right away. A plumber was able to come out the next day and make the repairs in about two hours. Access to the piping that needed to be replaced was terrible, but he worked without complaint (thought for sure they'd charge me an extra "annoyance" fee!)

Overall nice job. They came at the promised time and performed the work for the verbal price quoted. I would have appreciated the pricing in writing in advance but they did honor their verbal price. Technician and office staff friendly and helpful. They protected my floors from dirt and debris and cleaned up the work area when finished. I'll use them again and would recommend them.

After contacting several plumbers, I was pleased to find one as responsive as Wendricks White! They came in, explained the problem, fixed it and offered some solutions to help us in the future. They were courteous, friendly and neat. (We have had lots of plumbers over the years, all of whom left a mess!) I could not be more pleased.

Put this out to bid to 2 companies, and Wendricks was both highly recommended by another Angie's List company, as well as over $400 less expensive. Dave Wendricks made scheduling easy. Keith (and sorry, forgot his associates name) made quick, clean, and thorough work of pulling the old equipment and installing the new. I was given written and verbal instructions for lighting and adjusting the units. Keith also warned me about air coming through the faucets throughout the house (which was very helpful).
