    Toilet clog causing flooding

    The company responded quickly and accurately to my request, even able to arrive earlier than expected. The plumber, Michael, was professional, thorough, explained everything and offered opinions and suggestions that were unsolicited. I would strongly recommend WaterWorks.

    Bath tub drain blockage

    This is how I like the work to get done! between calling this company and the time all was cleared was barely an hour! Micheal Yuffa came to our place and not only fixed out bath tub but gave great expert advice for related issues he noticed in our bathroom. It's a big relief for us to know a trustworthy honest and friendly plumber. I highly recommend this company.

    Plumbing inspection

    We just bought a house in Scarborough and have noticed that there is often a methane smell when we flush our toilet. I assumed it was either a venting problem or perhaps the toilet itself wasn't installed properly (ie. a bad seal). I called WaterWorks to get an opinion on the situation. The plumber that came to my door, Michael, was very friendly and knowledgeable and took the time to look around the house and explain things as he went. It did not feel rushed, and he didn't try to sell me on something that I didn't need. He gave me his best opinion, that it is a venting issue behind the walls, and after asking if I'm handy recommended that I open up a small hole in the wall and take a look at the vent behind the toilet. He explained what I would need to do in detail which was very much appreciated. He also said I could call or send him an email to ask further questions, or just to show him what I found. Great experience, and will definitely use them again.

    Fine for small repairs, not big projects

    We called in WaterWorks when we discovered we had a mysterious water leak and could not find the source. They visited on at least 3 occasions and tried various fixes trying to isolate the problem. We were happy with their work until that point. When we finally decided the only solution was to run new water lines we asked for a quote and a that point we became very dissatisfied. They tried to charge us for the quote (after spending $1,500 trying to solve the problem). Then they said it would take 3 men 3-5 days to do the work, we'd also need to rent a Porta Potty and a water tank and it would cost over $10,000. We ended up paying another company $2,000 and it took 1 man 2 days to do the work. This has undermined our confidence in WaterWorks and we would not use them again.

    Answer from pro:

    HI Kate, thank you for sharing your review, however this review contains many inaccuracies. As you told me on our phone call this was not written by you and by your partner.I always enjoy reading truthful reviews and would have expected a more truthful accounting of events. Firstly, I myself did the estimate at NO CHARGE. Secondly with my follow up call to you you told me that your plumber cut open your walls and ceilings to run the pipework in the cheaper Pex plastic tubing. As a petro chemical engineer I would of thought you would have expected a better job from your plumber.This is a shortcut that Will add a large cost of several thousands of dollars to plaster/drywall and paint your home, Never mind all the dust,debris and inconvenience. Btw ,your contractor only has 6 years experience as stated by the BBB(Business started in 2007) ,Not the 15 he claims.My proposal at around $8000+hst (minus your initial costs of $1500, was to hide all of the COPPER piping in your heated attic.and cause little or no damage to your home. As the old saying goes "Cheap work ain't good and Good work ain't Cheap." Enough said, wishing you all the very best. Michael Yuffa, The Water Works Plumbing & Drains Inc.

    Plumbing assessment

    I think Waterworks is a very capable plumbing company and have no doubts about their ability to do good work, and they are courteous and professional. However, the pricing is off the charts! Over $500 for a toilet install. I've had other top Homestars plumbers do a toilet for $200, and finally had the thing installed for $340 because my other guy was busy. Either way, Waterworks came out as costing about double the average of the other guys.
