★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Our technician David was outstanding. I was contacted by David at the scheduled time and he arrived promptly. David was professional, courteous and very personable. David went right to work and identified the issue with our air conditioner within moments of initial assessment and completed his work within the hour. David provided maintenance care to our unit and offered advice as to how to better maintain the system. Cost for repair was very reasonable. I would highly recommend The Waterworks and Hetter Heating and Cooling.
September 30 · Anne McphersonWell, I kind of figured this was going to be a diagnosis service, followed up by a parts replacement on another service call and that is exactly what is happening which made me feel pretty good. The two tech.s gave me a great explanation of what was going on, options to possibly do some of the work myself, and a quote for just doing it all which is exactly what I am doing. As I head into my 70s I'm a little less DIY especially with a device that could catch fire/blowup if not done correctly. The guys will be back next week and the bonus for me is an upgraded thermostat and a much safer control switch at the furnace itself... I'd recommend this company anytime...
October 10 · Darrel KestnerColin came to fix the toilet in my house and was extremely nice and friendly. I knew the problems I was having and bought the parts one was right the other wrong but he replaced it with theirs which was great! After finishing he tested the toilet and it was still running. My water bill has been that of a 4 person household and I’m paying the water company every month a high rate. He replaced another part and it stopped running. I’m glad I didn’t try to fix it like I was going to!! He put up with my cats and was very nice about my house!! He’s a good guy and good plumber!
October 02 · Patricia BevanJames came out to assess our furnace and ensure it’s safe to use this coming winter. My husband and I felt so at ease with his expertise and advice. We knew he was being honest because he gave us options to move forward and things to consider. Thank you so much for being such an honest company!
October 09 · Abby AlvidrezI am opening an ice cream shop in Johnstown, Ohio. After several quotes, I decided to go with The Waterworks as I was confident they would be able to pull permits and get the work done as planned.They were AMAZING!!! I had Mike leading the team of Griffin and Nick. I was informed of everything they had to do and just as planned, they completed on time. Inspection PASSED with no issues.I highly recommend these guys and thanks to them, I can now open as scheduled.Great job, Waterworks. I will be sure to pass your information along and personally hang on to it for anything I need done in the future.
