Leak in kitchen ceiling

Had a leak in the ceiling called Waterworks because they had good reviews. Mike arrived did not cut open ceiling told me the 2 shower stalls needed to be resealed with silicone and changed the ring on the toilet claimed it was leaking. I called the next morning and told him to return and open the ceiling which he did. Looked and said no pipes there it was a roofing issue. The roofer was called looked into the hole in the ceiling and found the water pipe leaking. Called Rupinder explained the situation she sai Mike would phone. He phoned at 6 pm told me he was having dinner with his family and couldnt discuss this and would come back to fix the leak. I explained that I was definitely not paying him any more money and he suggested I think on the matter logically and get back to him. He could not talk he was having dinner with his family so not sure why he called when he didnt have time and found him condescending when I suggested that I did not see how he could fix a leak he said never existed. I do feel I was overcharged and the problem was clearly not solved because now I have to hire another plumber.

Mrs ***** *****(*******)

We are sorry that your experience with our company did not live up to your expectations. We would like to just clarify a few points from our side as we feel the review that you have written is not accurate. There are always two sides to every story.

On our first visit to your house you and your husband refused our price book quoted fee to open the ceiling. You both refused, because you were concerned about the drywall dust, repairs and painting. Without the ability to open the ceiling because you were unwilling to pay for this work I recommended to check both bathrooms upstairs.

Upon checking the bathrooms, I found 2 shower stalls without any silicone, the toilet had a date code of 20 years ago and was wobbly. In good conscience I recommended to replace the gaskets, toilet bolts and supply tube, and add new silicone to both shower bases and walls which I did.

When this didn’t solve your initial problem I returned for a 2nd visit (at No-Charge-refused to pay) I opened the ceiling as per your request and I moved quite a bit of fiberglass insulation around and I couldn't see any leakage. There was a lot of insulation up there and what i did see was occurring where the 2 sections of roof meet. Based on this I recommended a certified roofing contractor to look into that area and as luck would have it, he found the leak from the base of your shower stall.

I came back for a 3rd Free visit-refused to pay: I went up on the ladder to verify what our roofer saw. The plywood deck was wet beneath the shower stall and when I quoted you to repair it you felt that it should be a another Free repair.

Unfortunately we had already put a lot of time and money into your project above and beyond what a typical plumber would to try and make you satisfied with our service, however we were unable to do this repair at no cost.

We realize that we are not the right fit for every client and hope that you are able to find another company that is able to provide these services for you.

Sewage Backup

Had a sewage backup situation where the main sewage pipe was blocked, with water coming into the basement. When I called, Rupinder answered and got everything booked right away. Within the hour, the technician was on his way, with both multiple text messages and a courtesy phone call letting us know that they were on their way. Alija arrived, went through the possible options, and provided a quote right on the spot. Thankfully, the solution ended up being the simplest option with the total cost being reasonable for the job. I highly recommend them and will definitely give them a call again in the future if the need arises.

Condo Double Kitchen Sink Clog

After 2 1/2 days of plunging, snaking w/ no effect, I called Waterworks. Rupinder was able to offer same-day service w/ Michael - excellent communication on any delays. Michael was able to clear the deep clog in about 1/2 hour, offered good insight/advice on how to prevent. Sink now makes very satisfactory tornados/gurgles/burps - runs like a champ.

Good discussion w/ Michael about the plumbing industry - Waterworks is more pricey than others & there are reasons. Sometimes you get what you pay for. I'd definitely keep Michael & team in mind if/when I do a kitchen reno - I'd trust him to set up the plumbing correctly.

Toilet and tub repairs

Great company--would recommend! We hired WaterWorks Plumbing to take care of a problem with a toilet and a leaky tub faucet. Both issues were taken care of efficiently and in a timely manner. Alija was very friendly, clear in explaining the work to be done, and left no mess behind. Rupinder, who manages all appointments and plumbing jobs, is organized, friendly, and offers great customer service. Several days later we noticed that the tub spout  had been jiggled loose during their work. It was no longer sealed to the wall. Alija returned to fix it, no problem! They never worked on the spout, which was why they didn't notice that a problem was introduced. Honestly, a lot of companies would have argued with us or refused to go out of their way to fix it. But that right there is the mark of a good business. We were listened to and the problem fixed quickly! Accidents happen--we are all human.  This company puts customer satisfaction first and has a lot of integrity and can be trusted to make sure the job is done RIGHT. We will be repeat customers!

Bathtub faucet

Needed a replacement for my 1950 bathtub faucet and Michael came out to do the job. He was very courteous and made me feel at ease by taking the time to answer all my questions. He found a replacement for a hard to find fixture that needed to fit the existing opening in the wall tile; I didnt want to change the look of the bathroom. Even after my warranty had expired, Michael came out to fix a small issue at no extra cost.
Thank you Waterworks

Toilet Leaking Issue

Alija and his partner were amazing. We had a contractor install our new toilet incorrectly resulting in leakage and a cracked bowl. They came in, undid their terrible work and reinstalled our new toilet. Not only does the job look cleaner and better than our previous one, but they were friendly, and worked SO hard to investigate alternative ways to fix the problem without having to resort to cutting into our ceiling which would've been incredibly expensive.

Would HIGHLY recommend.
