Description of Work: The service call was prompted for a water heater replacement. That went quick, and was put in as expected. At the same time, I had a slow running bath tube and bathroom sink. This was the opportunity to solve that. After trying to clean the pipe, it was decided to replace it. That was the appropriate solution - replace it. After cutting the old iron pipe, the black hard clog splattered everywhere. Quite a mess. Overall they cleaned up nicely - they left the final "good clean" for me, which is fine. Price was not inexpensive, but fully reasonable for the work performed. | |

Response from Building Waters
I guess I do not understand this gentleman's complaint the customer says he still has the problem however, he hired us for a waterheater flush, not for any repair or for any problem he wanted resolved. He gave us a grade of F for price but he seemed to be OK with the price when he had agreed to, and purchased the service from Angies list. As for the attitude of the technician, I had never received a complaint from the customer about the technician to follow up with the technician so, I had no idea there was a problem and I can't respond to that accusation

Description of Work: He did not promptly return phone calls to schedule, therefore, due to the issue being a broken faucet/leaking water it was time sensitive...so I had to cancel to go with another plumber.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Building Waters
Don't recall phone call, did he call the correct number? I wish Angie would put customers number on contact information, on the emails. All I can do is send them a email to call me, then, I have to wait for the call. This makes things difficult . If I miss their call or am busy when call comes in, I still can't match names to numbers and return calls. Many times the calls come in from their place of employment and I have no idea where these people work or what number represents what customer.

Description of Work: I did not need the work done I had called for, so it was determined by Building Waters. So they were kind enough to give me a full year to let them know of any plumbing problem, and they will come out and give me the same $79.00 deal. They were super customer service oriented.

Response from Building Waters
This customer had told me upon arrival at her home that she wanted to sell house. She had many questions and she had many things that would have to be corrected to prepare for the sale of the home. Yes I threw a lot of prices at her. She asked for prices on a lot of items to be corrected. The major problem with this house was that the owners had many things remodeled in the house over the years and all remodeling project were completed without a permit and all were completed by a unlicensed plumber. These items had to be ripped out and had to be completed properly which included breaking up floors. I then wrote up a quote for her which I sent via email . I had a total of 4 hours of time invested with her and then she wanted a angies list refund, which she received. My prices were very conservative because I felt bad for her being on a fixed income and knowing how others had taken advantage of her in the past. The quote I gave her was from a licensed plumber and would be completed correctly, not by a handyman that would not pass a house inspection to sell the home. You get what pay for.

Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal from Angies List for $79 and have been puzzled by how much I ended up paying. I believe I am due a partial refund. | |Angie's List described the Building Waters Big Deal "for a plumbing service call, with one hour of labor" to be a $150 value for $79. Since the total of the labor on the receipt, including the trip charge and the miscellaneous fee (huh?) totaled $195, shouldn't that Big Deal have reduced that total labor charge to $45? Instead, The way Building Waters' bill was written up, the $79 I paid on July 8 was only a down payment for the work that happened on July 11. In effect, for this consumer, there was no real deal but only a come-on. | |Neither Building Waters nor Angie's List has responded to my questions. |To Building Waters' credit, the work I paid for was competently done and their response time beyond impressive. To Angie's List's shame, they seem to be more interested in sending out promotional emails than standing behind what they're selling. I'm ready to drop my Angie's List membership.

Response from Building Waters
I had not realized there was a problem with this customers service, until he had sent me a letter of dissatisfaction. I investigated the issue on my end and the gentleman was correct. He was over charged, I believe, it was $26.00. I had tried to contact the man by phone and received a message that the phone was disconnected, I had then proceeded to respond to [removed member name] via the Angies list email message board because, I didn't have his email address. I was hoping he would check the message board and respond back to me so I could refund what he has coming to him. I have tried to contact him since this posting and I still can't make a connection. The man I sent there had made a billing mistake. I wanted to explain the mistake thru a phone call on a personal level.
