They confirmed that it was in good shape and just needed some water jetting to knock out some larger root packs. They could have easily turned this job into a lot more and I would have gone right along with it and wrote a much bigger check. They were friendly, didn't seem rushed, and explained everything in detail. In fact, I am calling them again after I finish this review to have them do some other work I need done.

From the human voice who answered my call to the prompt and professional plumbers (Mike) who assessed the plumbing problems and our needs, to (Scott) who kindly and expertly remediated the leaky bathtub and shower and drippy faucet in the kitchen when the parts came in. All timely and within a few days. Thanks again! We would gladly call again for next home plumbing needs.

Mike answered after hours which I thought was cool, he was really nice however his workmanship is…read morenot worth what I paid, $209 for an hour of his time. My complaints include ; 1. Instead of using elbows like the previous set up he just used straight copper so the pipes don't sit up against the wall and they are sticking out on an angle (I hope that's no issue in the future ) 2. he did not clean up after himself- he left the soldered silver pieces all over the sink. 3. He did not secure the faucet to the utility sink underneath with the screws so it was moving back and forth, 4. He unscrewed my fire alarm because the heat from soldering made it go off and he never put it back on!! 5. The left side is leaking where the faucet screws into the copper pipe. 6. He asked a "favor" that I give him 5 stars to get business with a story of how Google took down 150 reviews and he was sick last year. Now, the reason I chose him over other people is because of his reviews of " doing quality work, picking up after himself, competitive pricing " and now I feel like I got duped because I did not experience any of that , I feel like he may be a phony. Mike was nice but when I'm paying for a service I shouldn't have to pick up after you. Granted I understand maybe he wasn't small enough/ older to get under the utility sink and screw the faucet in place but he could have told me. There is no excuse for not screwing the fire alarm back in! What if I were elderly and was unable to clean up the metal pieces everywhere, screw in my faucet or screw my fire alarm back in. Of course I did not know any of this was an issue until I went to actually use the faucet - it moved forward and backward, the metal was all over and I look up and the fire alarm unplugged. This was not worth calling him back for as I could fix it and I'm not going to have him fix the leaking pipe either as I do not trust any longer.

Very disappointed with Water Works Plumbing (Ferndale). On 06/16/2026, I called Water Works to…read moreschedule an appt to have a 2.5 gallon water tank installed, that I purchased, under my bathroom sink. The receptionist asked if it was a insta hot water tank. I said yes, it's a Mini Tank Water Heater. Note: These two tanks are the same except one heats faster and stays hot longer. The receptionist scheduled my appt. for the next day 06/17/2026. Plumber Michael came timely and was very nice. Micheal stared at the new tank for a minute then pulled out to manual. I asked Michael if he knew how to install this particular water heater tank. He said, "No". In other words, Michael did not know how do install this particular hot water tank. Why are you looking at the manual? He then stated, the tank was too large to install. MICHEAL STATED THE CHARGE FOR SERVICE WAS $195.00. I was shocked as Water Works Plumbing never quoted me a service fee or gave me an estimate. I then called Water Works Plumbing to tell them Michael did not do ANY work so why am being changed $195.00. The receptionist stated there is a service fee of $195.00 just to come out. I asked Water Work Plumbing if I returned the water heater tank for a smaller water heater tank today, could they come back tomorrow to install it, waive the service fee and just charge for the installation (labor). Water Works Plumbing said, "No". Water Works Plumbing charged me $195.00 plus 5% for using a debit/credit card totaling $204.75. I was forced to pay by card because Micheal could not take cash. I paid this ridiculous bill for 15 minutes of nothing . What a rip off. I will never use Water Works Plumbing again. As a previous Water Works Plumbing customer, I will be cutting ties with this business. SIDE NOTE: On 4/01/2026, Water Works Plumbing removed and kept the old 2.5 gallon water tank that they were replacing at the cost of, wait for it... $352.70. Should have learned then.

He misrepresented key facts. But the fact remains that he neglected to tie in the pipe, flooded my basement, then charged me for a sump pump to pump out the flooding he caused. He has the sump pump back but won't refund my money (UPDATE: money was refunded a few hours of making this post). He said it was his error, he said it would be no cost to me to fix it, but apparently he decided afterward and told his friends that the $500 was compensation for him having to come back. Wow. He had to come back because he flooded my basement. Please check on the LARA website to confirm his licensing status. I wish I had before hiring him.
