Service was terrible. Serviceman tried and tried to sell us a new disposal, told us a small part was the problem, looked on his phone briefly to find the part, couldn't find it, told us if we can find one he will come back and put it in. Another plumber came out, put a snake in the pipes, and fixed it. We will never call Waterworks again.

i have been using Waterworks for over TWENTY years now at both of the houses i have lived in... (and Comfortworks for a long time now as well) and they are the BEST... this was my first time calling them back for my annual plumbing line service contract and it was totally my fault that i was late two months past it's expiration when i had a problem again... but they still honored the contract and saved me a LOT of money which i don't have right now... thank you Anne and thanks to my superhero, Matt who came out once again and cleared up the problem... i am very appreciative and grateful... if you need a plumber or HVAC service, these are the folks to call! thank you so much again!!

Arthur showed up at 1 am, quickly diagnosed the problem and got the fix started by making one of the sumps operational again. He came back the next day and quickly got the other pump and the water heater going again. The Waterworks are my go to people for plumbing and techs like Arthur are a big reason why.

I would like to share my experience because it’s critical to people’s safety. Back in February we had a new water heater installed by waterworks. We are selling our home and had an inspection done today. The company doing the inspection alerted our realtor that there are TWO gas leaks at our water heater that need taken care of immediately because it’s obviously unsafe. I called waterworks to get someone out today to fix this issue. The woman I spoke to was Amy- she first of all wanted to send the original man (Mick) to fix this. I said absolutely not because he didn’t install it correctly the first time so how could we trust he would fix it right. When I asked for someone else Amy became nasty, rude, and unprofessional. She then tried to act like our gas leaks couldn’t POSSIBLY be from her company’s installation. She then lied and said that she had a permit from the city stating the water heater was installed correctly- the city never came to check on their work so that’s an outright lie. I had to ask repeatedly for her name and her boss’ name and she refused to do so. She then threatened me by stating her phone call was recorded and I was being unreasonable. About an hour ago we spoke to Amanda plumbing who sent someone out to our house immediately because it’s a serious issue. Their supervisor stated that the fitting at the water heater and manifold are both leaking gas and it’s going to take him about 2 hours to remove the fittings and install them properly. I have the invoice to prove this. So, like I stated to AMY from the beginning the gas leaks are from incorrect installation by waterworks. I am extremely upset from my conversation with Her as she clearly did not care that there was a major safety issue due to waterworks installation. I am hoping that the owner will contact me to rectify this major safety hazard and situation. Additionally, Amy’s customer service is horrific and needs to be addressed immediately. The technician should also be held accountable for his poor and dangerous installation practices. For you and your family’s safety please do not use waterworks. They do not care about putting your family in dangerous situations. If I do not hear anything today I will be in contact with Waterworks corporate office tomorrow 6/15

Dear [Member Name Removed]~ I spoke directly to your mother about this incident. I reiterated several times how sorry I was for this issue and asked what I could do to help. She said at this point nothing. We have addressed the concerns listed here at the highlest level regarding not only the installation but the technician and customer service representative. Accountability is key. Our #1 goal is satisfactory service to all of our customers. We apologize that you had this experience.
