    Replace kitchen faucet and repair pop-up drains in bathroom sink and tub

    I've never been a fan of tradespeople. I had far too many unsatisfactory experiences with dodgy, unprofessional and poor-mannered tradie types in the past. When the need for a plumber came along, I did some research on contracting only the best, the Water Works Plumbing. Larry was the first plumber who came to my home to evaluate the condition of a basement toilet. He took his time and very honestly explained to me why repairing wouldn't be feasible and that by replacing it with a new one I didn't have to worry about future possible break-downs. Larry is trustworthy and hardworking professional. Just recently, I had to have work done on my kitchen faucet, and I met Michael. He went down to business and instantly found the problem. I needed a new faucet as this was rusted and ready to cave in. Michael quickly got to work and installed a brand new one that is a far better quality then the previous. I had issues in my bathroom also, and thought while Michael is here, why not show\mention them to him. The pop-up drains in my bathtub and sink were not working and were removed some time ago and stored in a drawer. Without any hesitation, he said he can fix these and took the old parts with him to try to find new ones. He did come back with the replacement pieces but those didn't quite fit. With utmost patience he manually worked on these drain covers to readjust and made it perfect. Michael made my day and lifted my spirit just by seeing how well he transformed the look and function to the original...no more rubber plugs! I found Michael courteous, efficient, and I'm sure all the other employees are at Water Works very professional and thorough with good attention to detail. I highly recommend Water Works and will use them again as the need arises. A big thank you to Natasha also, for her pleasant manner and patience on the telephone. Her timely follow-up with customers and the ability to understand their needs are commendable. Regards, Susan

    General Plumbing Help

    I had several plumbing issues: a couple of older toilets, some caulking that needed upgrading around two bathtubs, and (most important) water backing up into my basement. I had a mixed experience with WaterWorks Plumbing. First the positives: I got through to someone on the phone right away, an appointment was booked for a week's time. The plumber arrived to the minute that he said he would. The plumber seemed competent and was thorough. He put a new flap in a toilet that needed one at no extra charge. The cost of the visit was $67.24, which strikes me as very reasonable for a call-out considering how much time he took assessing my plumbing issues. The negatives relate to the cost of the work if I'd gone ahead with WaterWorks. Here are the quotes I was given: To re-caulk a bath: $331.12 To pull and reinstall a toilet: $345.08 To replace a toilet: $847.62 To remove and reinstall a section of my planter wall to address the basement issue: $1448.20 To excavate and fix the outside plumbing that is causing the basement issue: $3848.47 My initial reaction was that the prices seemed a bit high. I went on-line and found some youtube clips on how to reinstall a toilet and how to caulk a bathtub. I did the bathtub caulking yesterday. It took me under one hour even though it was my first time. It wasn't difficult and the materials cost under $20. I think the quote was way too high. The clips on how to reinstall a toilet look equally straight forward and the materials needed are not expensive. I built my outdoor retainer wall myself a couple of years ago, so I know that $1448 to remove and then reposition a small section of it is unreasonably high. I will not be having WaterWorks do any of these jobs. Conclusion: friendly, competent, but way over-charging.

    Two new toilets installed

    We needed two new toilets installed, and have been using Waterworks since they did our main sewer line replacement a year ago. As usual, Michael was prompt, efficient, and professional, and does outstanding work. Waterworks was even able to get us on the schedule a week or so earlier than originally promised. Highly recommend.

    Quote for Laundry Installation

    I called WaterWorks to see what it would take to add a separate washer and/or dryer in our basement. Time- The gentleman that showed up was on time, very friendly and reasonable. Price- I didnt like the idea of paying for an estimate, however, he was very fair, honest in his quote and took his time. The Job- I liked that if I was to proceed with the work that he would deduct the quote amount from the job. He also went out of his was and gave us advise on another plumbing issue we were looking into with our toilet. I will call him again in the future if I have any plumbing issue and would recommend him to family and friends.
