Came out right away, actually called to bump the appointment up because someone cancelled. Dispatch didn't relay to plumber that he needed to move a sink to get to the drain, so when he saw the clean out under the sink he wasn't too thrilled about having to work around the sink to get to the clean out. After I explained the sink is easily removed, it was fine. Did a great job, explained everything, clean up.

They were available to come out right away, showed up on time, were willing and able to work with the parts that I had purchased, kept everything clean and in the end sent me a check for $20 because I forgot to give them the coupon I had from Angie's list. It was so nice to finally find a contractor that I can count on. Thank you!

Great! WaterWork originally performed this job back in March, and the plumber repaired the faucet with a plastic part when it should have been replaced with a brass part (per Mark). I called them having issues with the faucet, and they came back the same day and replaced the part with the correct part free of charge. I have used WaterWork for other projects in the past and never had any issues, I recommend them to anyone in the area. I am disappointed that I will be moving outside of their service zone (Green Oak Township/Brighton), they are very reliable and take care of their customers.

They were great for annual drain snaking, but lost my business with a one-time service call for basement flooding. Plumber hemmed and hawed about having to go in the basement (yes, it's wet - that's why I called you!) When he indicated it was something he couldn't help with, he took 20+ minutes to write the invoice and leave, had not fixed the problem.

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
A couple of things come to mind when writing this response. For starters we regret the homeowner feels this way about doing business with our company. The visit from our plumber must have really been weighing heavy on her as she is leaving this review over 7 months after our visit. In this time she has not contacted us to discuss her dissatisfaction. This could have been handled in other ways. Also, yes, there was water in her basement but she has an outside cleanout access in the backyard so there was no need to go in her basement that was full of water. We were able to cable the line from outside. We spent almost 3 hours at this home. We couldn't get the line open, then after doing a lot of investigating found that the city sewer was backed up. The city was contacted during the 20+ minutes that Ms. [Member Name Removed] mentions in her review to inform them that our client was experiencing issues due to their line being clogged. The city arrived almost immediately. Upon leaving we let Ms. [Member Name Removed] know that when the city was done to let us know if she was still having issues. One last thing, we did not charge her 400, the total was 330 for two hours worth of charges (we were there closer to 3 hours). She signed the invoice that she was completely satisfied before paying the bill in full. Everything I've typed is in writing.

Mark did a fantastic job, and made sure everything worked perfectly. What a great guy (and expert plumber).
Description of Work: Install Ikea vanity which required changing plumbing to match shorter depth of water supply lines and drain. It was far more complicated than I had anticipated when purchasing the vanity and sink.

Dave was great! He quickly identified the issue and, even though it was not what I had originally described, he quickly shifted gears and found the solution. Dave was knowledgeable and courteous, answered all my questions and cleaned up afterward. Excellent!

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
At WaterWork Plumbing we are happy to provide estimates on any project, large or small. We offer two ways to obtain an estimate. We will provide a free estimate at your home or business if you have a flexible schedule and can meet with a small amount of notice when we are in your neighborhood or have slower days. If your issue is pressing we will schedule an appointment with you for a $95 charge which is applied to the work when we return to complete the task on a day and time of your choice. We are a service company. A large portion of our work load is emergencies or issues that if not resolved quickly could become emergencies. On average we do approximately 25 estimates a week and the majority of those estimates are of the free variety. Thank you for taking the time to review our company. Sorry it didn't work out. If you'd like, please call us to discuss how we may better serve you.

They did a really good job! Arnie and Chris Becker, an Apprentice plumber, showed up on time, and were very professional and very nice. They figured out what the problem was, explained what they were going to do, the pluses and minuses of each approach, and then did the work in an efficient manner. Arnie asked pertinent questions and tried to look at the big picture before beginning any work. He not only resolved the main problem, but they cleaned out the other sanitary lines, fixed several components that needed fixing, and cleaned everything up before leaving. My wife and I were VERY happy with the results, we know what we have to do going forward, and we would recommend Arnie and Waterworks to anyone. BTW, Chris did a very nice job too, and I give him kudos for learning the trade. Thanks to both of you!.
Description of Work: We had a number of issues with our main sanitary line leading to the septic system that had been causing us problems for the past year. We had a couple of plumbers out but none of them could figure out what was causing the underlying problem. I spoke with David - the owner, and after spending 10-15 minutes on the phone with me, he recommended that he send Arnie - his 'go to' master plumber to figure it out. I am glad he did!

After I unsuccessfully called 2 Plumbers on Saturday with no answer. I checked Angie List and called Waterwork Plumbing for the first time on Saturday around 11AM for Hamtramck Service call and Service was provided and successfully completed within 2 hours. Very Professional and Knowledgeable crew from office to field. The Plumber explains everything he was doing and pulled out bunch of hairs, rubber bands and a piece of plastic in basement pipes. Very impressive work and I will hire again and again and will refer to my friends and Family.

The service was great. I was overseeing an air conditioner install for my parents when all of the sudden a pipe burst open at a joint and started getting water everywhere. We were able to shut it down, but now while the mess of a big AC install was going on, they had no water. I found WaterWork plumbing on Angie's list, gave them a call, and they said they could have someone out in 2 hours. They ended up arrives half an hour early and were done in a half an hour. Kris was great. Very professional and did a very clean install. I would definitely recommend these guys if you're in a pinch.

Excellent. I had a plumber cancel so I needed a faucet hookup after our new countertop/sink was installed quickly. WaterWork was the only one who had someone available the next day. The office staff was professional as well as Kris (the plumber). She was very professional, courteous and was able to do everything. Would hire again and recommend!

These guys were good. There was a main guy and his assistant or trainee, I think it was. Both were friendly, hard-working, and got the job done well. They explained what was going on in a way that made it clear they wanted me to understand and not just assume they knew what they were doing, which I appreciated. They were able to handle the problems completely, cleaned up really nicely after themselves (a great bonus, I'd say--especially with a plumber!), and were done in one visit. We haven't had any issues since, so they obviously knew what they were doing! Nice job!

Waterwork was easy to reach, responded to my voicemail prompty to schedule an appointment, and came on time. The individual plumbers had the materials required to comeplete the job on hand and worked efficiently. On one occasion, I was able to call the office with a question about my water heater, and the receptionist was able to connect me with another plumber who taked me through the problem on with phone until it was solved. I have called them back on multiple occasions, and will likely call them again for any other plumbing issues we may have. Highly recommend.

Arne did an outstanding job with all of the work. He replaced a bathroom faucet, replaced a worn out toilet flange and replace tub and shower handles. He had a professional attitude, he was punctual and walked me though each step of the work, recommending ways to do it right the first time. I would highly recommend WaterWork Plumbing to anyone who needs any type of plumbing work done at their house.

Really well. Unclogged the drain quickly. After the plumber did some looking around, he saw that most of our pipes did not need replacing. Instead, there were small metal deposits that were slowing the shower head and kitchen sink faucet. After removing these, our water pressure was amazing. Money well spent knowing that replacing pipes isn't necessary for the time being. Honest, fair, and knowledgeable.

I called based on their positive reviews on Angie's List. Someone picked up right away and was very helpful in scheduling - he had a lot of times available for me to choose from. I picked a time the next day and we hung up. He called back a few minutes later and said that they had someone available nearby if I was home. So in 20 minutes Chris was at my house replacing the spigot! She and her associate were very professional - they put booties on before coming inside, which I appreciated as it was raining and wet outside. She was also respectful and friendly toward my pets, which I always appreciate. She made sure to latch the fence gate when she left and the whole job was finished in less than half an hour. I'm very pleased they were able to come the same day so now I don't need to take time off work. I did not get prices from other companies to compare, but I didn't think the price seemed unreasonable or shocking. I also asked her about another plumbing job I was considering for the future and she gladly wrote up a quick estimate for me.

Chris was prompt. professional & immediately accessed the problem.She gave the options available, the approximate cost of the work involved.After I made a choice she went to work & quickly replaced both hot & cold stem,after going to pick up the necessary carthridges that I needed,which were only carried by a few places. She did an amazing job. I would definitely use Waterwoks in the future.

BUYER BEWARE! I explained my specific situation that I needed my drain snaked on my vent on my second story, flat-roofed house. I made sure that they knew the exact situation. Over the phone, I was told the price would $300 because it would require an extra technician and because the guys would have to go onto my roof. Once the plumber arrived (without the extra tech to help him), he assessed the situation and told me the price would be $450. When I said I was quoted that I was quoted $300 over the phone, he simply said, "the girls in the office don't really know what they're talking about". I refused the service because the price went up 50%. Such price gouging and bait-and-switch tactics. COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME!!!

Response from WaterWork Plumbing
[Member Name Removed] and [Member Name Removed] called our company after contacting two other plumbing companies who were not able to correct the issue. They called my office and talked with my staff. The office staff, who are a key part of our success here, are not plumbers for starters and vent cabling jobs only happen maybe once or twice a month. [Member Name Removed]was given a ballpark price to start and told we would send one of our best plumbers to give an exact price and prep to do the job. The job was more involved than was conveyed over the phone. They were given multiple options by which to address this issue and they declined all options. They also left a bad review on the two other companies, both of which personally called me and told me that they too had trouble communicating with these individuals. In the end, we didn't charge anything for the hour plus of time we spent at this home.
