I smelled gas strong throughout my house a week ago. I called DTE Energy to come out and they found the hot water heater was installed incorrectly. I called the Waterwork company twice and left messages. I received no response.

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
We apologize for not completely satisfying this homeowner but this review is not completely accurate. We have spoken and apologized to this homeowner multiple times about this issue. The water heater was installed per code but there was a slightly loose fitting on the gas line. We were not given the opportunity to correct this issue ourselves and we were not informed about the gas leak until a week after she called DTE. We have offered and are still willing to do more to try and gain this homeowners confidence back. Please call our management team to discuss further. Our number is 248-542-8022. David, owner of WaterWork Plumbing.

WaterWork Plumbing charged me over $600 for what amounted to a problem diagnosis, and then told me me that they can't fix the problem and to go elsewhere! I hired WaterWork to fix a sewer line clog at my property. They visited the property, scoped the line, and performed a cabling on the line. They admitted that they could not clear the clog, gave me a bill for over $600, and told me to hire another company. Really?! The problem still exists, and they want over $600! I'll pay for someone's effort and diagnosis, but these guys are plumbers, not brain surgeons!

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
This individual has had multiple plumbers and the city of Detroit investigate a problem sewer line that he has known about for over a year. He contacted our office, gave us the long back story of the many people he has had look at this line and asked us to go out and diagnose what the issue was. He was not present for the service at this vacant home in Detroit as he lives in the Miami, Florida area. We gave him options of what we could do and some general pricing. He agreed in writing to have us proceed and authorized up to $1000 towards the diagnosis. We spent almost 4 hours working on this line, we found that the line is damaged/broken. We gave him options for a permanent fix but he opted to not to proceed. We gave him a total for the work we performed which he approved prior to paying us with a credit card.

Outstanding service! Chris took care of our plumbing needs and was fantastic. Chris explained everything to me and went above and beyond to leave our home clean and tidy. Chris wore a mask and shoe coverings too. I am so impressed with the level of service and will highly recommend to anyone who has any plumbing needs. Thanks again Waterwork Plumbing.

It appears there has been a miscommunication between this homeowner and our company. We have been in contact with her since this review was left and are going to her home on Wednesday 6-24-20. Update, we have been to this homeowners residence since this review was initially left and provided an estimate for the work to be completed. We hope to be working with her again soon.

We have never worked with this individual. After looking through all the messages we received through Angie's List, we have no record of receiving any messages from this homeowner. Judging from this review, it appears he has never tried to reach us via phone which we answer from 830 to 5 Monday through Friday and Saturday 830 to 230. We also take emergency calls after those hours seven days a week.

They refused to provide an estimate. They even replied with random punctuation at once point, which made no sense. I'd go with a company that actually wants business.
Description of Work: outdoor spigot to be replaced
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
This review is completely incorrect. On May 18th this individual sent a message on Angie's List with a picture of a spigot that he wanted replaced. We responded with "Good morning. Thanks for your message. Please call to discuss further. Our number is 248-542-8022". He responded with "lol, its 2020". We weren't sure why he was telling us what year it was or why it was so funny so we responded with a question mark. Anyways, he sent that message over two weeks ago. Not sure why he still is thinking about us but apparently this is really bugging him. Hope that by giving us a bad review he will begin the process of healing his mental anguish over the matter.

Waterwork did an excellent job. The plumber who installed our Navien Tankless Unit, Mark, did very high quality work. He also took the time to educate us on how it worked, to answer our questions, and was overall excellent at customer service. The price charged exactly matched the original estimate.
