We’ve had a handy man and another plumber look at it and each and different (not effective ) solutions - one included jiggling the handle. 😣. Kris from Waterworks came out and knew immediately what it was. It was a little more extensive than she thought and ultimately had to go find/buy a part (we have a dual shower head - which made it a little non standard). She fixed it right up. She was prompt, professional, pleasant and ultimately solved a problem others didn’t. Yay Kris!!
Description of Work: Shower head kept dripping after water was turned off.

Very well ... Becker was here for an hour, cleared the issue in the garbage disposal (we found the issue together) and then put a new trap onto the exit of the disposal. Very quick, friendly, and professional! I'd absolutely hire them again.

I called at 10am on a Tuesday and a plumber arrived the following day at 9am! I left the plumber to work while I went to my job. I was contacted by the office with an estimated time to completion around lunchtime (which was my request). After inspecting the work and using the new fixtures, I'm very happy. Highly recommend.
Description of Work: I had a fairly complicated project with tight clearances and uncommon fittings.

I noticed on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, we didn't have hot water. I called WaterWork Plumbing and they were able to come out and work on a fix, unfortunately the hot water tank couldn't be saved. They were back on Friday with a new one and I was taking a shower before noon! Thank you WaterWork Plumbing!

Had three or four jobs I needed estimates for. Didn't want to fix everything at once for fear it would cost an arm and a let. The technician was nice, listened to my questions and was very efficient and finished priority work in one hour - saving me a lot of money. Would definitely hire the company (and Jamie) again.

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!
