    install pump, repair kitchen faucetand install laundry tub.

    This is our third experience with Water Works and we are very pleased.They always send friendly and knowledgable people to our home and our issues are always fixed properly. Our first experience was a laundry tub install,then we had a new kitchen faucet and valves and our last project was to replace a faulty sump pump.Trustworthy,reliable and definitely a company I would keep on my speed-dial.Thanks!

    Toilet installation

    Michael came and removed and replaced 3 toilets . This is the second time we have used waterworks. They were exactly on time, worked quickly, tidied up totally and took all the old toilets to the road for me. I had him also check one of the other toilets in my house, he changed out an old part that wasn't working well and didn't charge for that. He told me his price before he started and there were no additional costs when I received my bill. Very honest and reliable.

    Leaking Main Valve

    We were disappointed with every aspect of our repair, it's hard to know where to begin. We asked for a quote. They charged us $70 for the quote, even though they had said that if we agreed to the work they would not charge us the quote fee. On the day of the scheduled repair, we called the office in the morning because the plumber had asked us to remind them what about specific tools to bring. The woman in the office was very confused and unhelpful, and after several attempts she still had no idea what we were talking about - even though we read the reminder note directly off the quote. They were scheduled to arrive between noon and 4. He arrived at 2:30, without knowing anything about the job he was scheduled to do. The woman in the office had made it worse by trying to relay the reminder note from the quote, but since she didn't understand it, it made no sense to him. Then he asked us what the problem was, and he asked to look at our copy of the quote, since he didn't have their copy or a work order of any kind. Then he informed us he didn't have the right tools and would have to go back to the office. He told us the office was 30 min away. Two hours later, at 4:30, he had still not returned, and there was no phone call, so we called the office again. The woman on the phone explained that he couldn't get into the office to get the tools because he had no key, and he had to pick up a co-worker and take them the office to let him in. No one had called to inform us of the delay. Finally more than 2 hours after he left he returned. He did the work. There was one charge on the bill for $475 for "cutting drywall, etc." which I questioned, as he did not do that at all. He tried to explain it was for "other" labour, but couldn't be more specific. The total job took less than 1.5 hrs, involved no cutting of drywall, and was only to replace a single valve which was accessible, so the total bill of $815 seemed high for the work (and that price was after he reduced it $100 because we complained after the customer service. Also, on the bill he had made 6 mistakes, like our name, our phone number, the amount, etc. He was also supposed to give us a rebate to cover the quote we had paid for, but didn't until we pointed it out. When leaving, he told us the connection may be leaking and we should check it later. When we did check, it was leaking, which he obviously knew when he did it - but still left it that way anyway. We called back to have someone come and fix it - but insisted on a different guy. The appointment was for 8 am Monday. By 8:45 when we had no plumber and no phone call, we called the office. The plumber was still in the office running behind, so they knew he was late, but hadn't made an effort to let us know. They said he would be there at 10:00 am or shortly after. He arrived at 10:45 - with no apologies or even an acknowledgement of the missed appointment time or the inconvenience to us because of the leak due to their bad work. He looked in the wall at the repaired valve, then told my wife it was a great job. Then told her the leak was at the connection to the meter, and it was the city's problem. Luckily I had taken a picture of the leaks and given it to my wife as evidence - when she showed it to him - he admitted there was also a leak around his company's work that was their fault. He then fixed it. The customer service was horrible, the workmanship was atrocious, and they were very unprofessional. We will never use them again, warn everyone to avoid this company.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi,and thanks for your review.I'm quite mystified by your account of our service calls to you. The details as you give them do not correspond to the service provided. Certain statements, such as your reference to a definite time promised for service call, are not in accordance with our regular practise, which involves giving a window of time in which we will arrive. I would like to lay out the facts as my memory and my company records indicate them to be. To begin with, I carefully reviewed your calls to our company and I found that no mention was made about what special tools we should bring. Our dispatcher handled the calls in the most professional manner, entirely in accordance with our usual high standards. We found nothing to criticize in her handling of your calls. The repairs carried out were in a particularly awkward place, in the corner of your basement and inside a drywall-covered column. You are right that there was a leak problem remaining and this was our fault. This was due to the difficulty of accessing the repair site. However, I never denied that you had a leak. I simply said on first inspection that I didn't see one. After you showed me the exremely helpful picture that you had taken of the leak, I understood immediately what I had to do to repair the problem, and I fixed it for you. I myself came to your home to inspect that leak in response to your call. Our dispatcher Amina booked your service call for between 8 a.m. and 12 noon, and I arrived at 10:24 a.m. according to our GPS records, entirely within the time period we promised you. We regret that you were dissatisfied with our service, but a review of the experience shows that we maintained a high standard of courtesy, competence, and responsiveness in attempting to do this job for you.

    Faucet replacement

    Had Michael in from WaterWorks again, this time to replace our kitchen faucet. It's something I could have attempted myself, but by the time you add in getting a plumber to repair my damage, the fire department and marriage counseling, I'd be looking at way more than. $320. While he was here, Michael also consulted on some other projects we're planning for the house. He's never pushy or acts like a know-it-all. We'll definitely have him back soon!

    Replace shower spout and outdoor water valve

    Had our upstairs bathroom shower drain spout replaced because it leaked as well as an outdoor water valve that leaked and had no handle. A few little glitches at first, but Michael fixed the issue and was kind and courteous.

    Unplugged toilet

    We chose WaterWorks because of their high rating on this site and we were extremely pleased with our choice. They came the same day and did a very thorough job. Todd was professional and courteous. We would definitely use their services again.
