I had an emergency backup that I needed cleared same day. I have used other companies in the past that resolve the problem at a low cost but want to come out later and sell expensive fixes. The experience with Waterworks was that they wanted to fix the drain blockage to the best of their ability at that time. If further work needed done it could still be evaluated, but there was more than a bandaid on my current issue.
We had a miserable waste line backup that flooded a good portion of our basement. Waterworks was the only company available to come out same-day. Samuel arrived within two hours of my initial call, unclogged the waste pipe, cleared the floor drain - allowing the backup to clear - and had us back in business for 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of the other companies’ estimates… and the other companies would’ve left us with standing sewage backup in our basement for at least another 24 hours. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Samuel come out for any of our future plumbing nightmares. 🙂
I was looking into a possible blockage in my sewer line or issues with toilet. No issues with toilets although they may need replacement if not providing sufficient pressure during flushing. Asked about possible quote to replace faucets and shutoff valves. I can purchase my own faucets and toilets (if needed) and the rest will be provided by Waterworks. Quite informative visit 👍.
Tim did a fantastic job today, servicing our HVAC system. Tim is an example of the professionalism and courteousness of all the folks at JonLe. He was very courteous and answered all the questions we had. That’s why we have been loyal customers for many, many years.
Wade came out (the same day I called), to snake my clogged downspout drain. I told him I've often had tree roots in the line, so he put a cutting bit on the snake & went to work. He was a really nice guy who was eager to help, and he did a stellar job. I'm looking forward to losing the wet in the basement!
We have been using JonLe for years. Always professional and courteous. Very trustworthy. Thank you
The technicians were professional, efficient and knowledgable. The technicians were on time and very friendly. They scheduled an appt.for us quickly when we called them. Would definitely recommend them to other people. I have a silver contract with them and am very happy with that.
I have been a Jonle regular for a lot of years. I actually have never been disappointed by any of the techs Jonle have sent. They are polite trustworthy types. When Cory was finished with the service, he asked there was anything else he could do for me before he left. I asked about the basement lights being off. He let a light on that was on when he went down. He ran back downstairs for me and turned it off. Not a service requirement. But it is something a nice guy does for an getting older lady.
JonLe is a professional organization. Technicians are knowledgeable and professional. I have used JohLe for over 25 years.
Very professional and knowledgeable technician. I was very impressed with the service.
I was impressed but this company. They got here quick sent a text with technical's picture saying he was on the way. Since my husband couldn't be here it made me feel safe just knowing who was coming. Matt was very professional and nice took time to explain the issue with our boiler system along with pictures showing the damage. Waiting on estimates for part replacement versus replacement of boiler. Great job that's for going above all rest. The picture text A+
Waterworks has been my go-to for years, and they consistently deliver excellent service. Easy, timely scheduling, and they always send experienced, knowledgeable professionals who take the time to thoroughly explain what's going on and walk me through my options. I especially appreciate that they don't just fix the issue - they take the time to answer my questions and provide guidance so I can maintain things myself going forward. They stick to their original quotes when things become more complicated and provide options to manage my costs (e.g. order a part myself.) I had two services in the past two weeks: a kitchen sink installation that required reconfiguring and replacing all of the hardware underneath, and a toilet repair for which the part was not available, but the rep helped me order the correct part and provided enough instruction to install it when it arrives.
My experience with The Waterworks has been very good. Michael assessed my plumbing issues and made necessary repairs. I really appreciated the fact he pointed out that I didn't need the service I thought I did. Thus, I was not overcharged. I recommend The Waterworks if you need plumbing service.
The service was excellent and the young man who came out was very professional.
Standard toilet clog they were here within 2 hours.thays why I'm a loyal customer
Very impressed with the courtesy and knowledge of plumber Jonathan. He was able to repair the leak in record time having to cut pipes etc. Great job. Emergency service is stressful!
Chris showed up 2 hours early (after a courtesy call). The service call was not needed as it was my own naivety that caused this situation. Chris clearly explained the dilemma and was out the door in 20 minutes. This is not the first time that I have had Water Works out to my house and it WILL NOT be the last. SUPER company!
They called ahead to see if they could come earlier, not an issue. Cory was respectful and worked quietly and finished his work with no issues. Highly recommend them.
We thought our sump pump had failed and needed to be replaced. Tech showed up on time and found that the breaker had been flipped. No pressure to purchase something we didn't need....he just flipped the breaker, told us that was what was wrong, told us he turned it on and confirmed the sump pump was working and left. Great experience! Will definitely call them again if we have another issue!
I have had no experience with the Water Works prior to this trip. I am so glad I gave them a try. I had 2 guys on 2 separate days and they were wonderful, knowledgeable and caring. Thank you Mike and Matt you came in and took the time and answered my questions and fixed the problem. I will certainly give you referrals and positive feedback!! I think you guys should get a raise! Thanks again for helping me!!
Service was very good. The technicians were great and knew their business. I was very satisfied. They also replaced some PVC pipes.
Super professional install and excellent follow-up troubleshooting. Thanks to Shane, Jayden, Tom, Walt, and Antwone for their quality service. equally big thanks to Waterworks/Hetter Heating and Cooling.
Received great service in one day 22 degrees outside definitely use this team again. Thanks guys
John came out for preventative maintenance on my sewer line because of a tree in my front yard always having roots entering the line and causing backup. He did a great job and sent his 6 inch blade the full 90 feet to clear the line.
Quite possibly the most detail oriented company I’ve worked with. The way their HVAC installer made sure every wire was secured in brackets and everything was run neat and tidy really tingles all the OCD tendencies one may have. Overall I couldn’t have chosen a better company to work with!
We called a few plumbers for the same issue at Horizon High School. They all came, inspected the problem, and left after giving us repair quotes. Thomas from Water Works was different. He carefully examined the issue, explained how the system works in detail, and offered a very effective solution. He didn’t just give us a quote — he took the time to help us understand the problem and then fixed it properly. We truly appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and clear communication. Highly recommended!
Victor did a wonderful job. It took awhile to clear the obstruction but he hung in there. Plus he knows how to work with old, crabby women who just want their kitchen in working order. Thanks, Victor.
The whole experience with Waterworks was positive. I called during the weekend and spoke to a representative and scheduled a service call for Monday. They arrived at the time that was promised and a call was made 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technician was courteous and explained what potentially could have occurred and what options I would have. Service call was completed and I am very satisfied with the entire process.
Will was very professional. He updated me on all the things he was doing to diagnose the problem. I felt he went over and beyond. He knew I was concerned about the cost and for some reason I did not renew my Silver Plan. In the past month I had to get a new water heater, my fireplace went out and today I needed to get new glasses. Being on a fixed income is worrisome. I was happy though with the service I received.
Technician that can in today (Mark J) did a very thorough job of routine maintenance work. Thanks!!!
