This year the open house was on Saturday Sept 16th from 9am-4pm and included a tour of the water treatment plant, a boxed lunch and lots of activities for the kids.

bulk water supply delivered water to my neighbor for their swimming pool they brought a semi tanker…read morethat looked like they were hauling 100,000 gallons of fuel up in my little neighborhood as their driver turned the corner to back up to be able to run the water hose to the neighbors pool he ran through my front yard. I had my granddaughter with me that day which I had an emergency with her had to leave from watching the driver so I did not catch the damage he'd done at the time until I was leaving the house the following Monday that he put a big rut in my front yard with his tire and pushed the sod up so high I cannot mow over it I called them to ask them to come and fix the damage done and they said that their driver said he didn't do that but he saw me watching him the whole time so I'm assuming when he was watching me the whole time as he put the rut in the grass and he they refuse to fix it I would not have them do any other business for me ever or I would not advise it because they're unwilling to fix their drivers mistakes they're not honest nor upfront with it they told me that my neighbor was responsible for it then they told me to call the county where I live in and they were responsible for it not their driver everybody else but them was responsible I sure would like to know how they got to that conclusion so they get a zero actually a double zero ratingfrom me

The water supplied by the North Sewickley Sewer & Water Authority contains high levels of Total…read moreDissolved Solids (TDS). The U.S. standard for safe drinking water is 500 TDS, yet North Sewickley's readings have consistently been in the 700-800 range. When I called to inquire about this apparent violation of national water standards, I was first told that the authority isn't responsible for contaminants that may come from my home's plumbing. Fair enough--but I live in a brand-new house with brand-new PEX plumbing. Then the representative added, "Oh, I forgot--they've been flushing the water lines, and that can stir things up." I acknowledged that and said I'd continue monitoring my tap water daily. Now, a month later, the TDS levels remain between 700 and 800. In fact, the water quality has gotten worse.

I have hired Petrack Plumbing several times. Here are summaries:…read more Appointment #1: The plumbers removed an old utility sink and installed a new utility sink in my laundry room, removed a 1970s-style wet bar in my living room and capped its pipes, and snaked a gutter pipe outside. Afterward, my new sink and pipes worked great. Appointment #2: The plumber used a camera to determine why my gutter drain pipes were not draining properly. He determined that a dry well/pit in my yard was full and needed to be replaced. Appointment #3: A different company had installed a new washer and dryer in my laundry room, and they caused a gas leak and did not level the washer and dryer. Petrack Plumbing arrived at my house in less than one hour. The plumbers reassembled my gas pipe, and they leveled my washer and dryer. Then they charged me $0! Appointment #4: Petrack Plumbing flushed the pipes from my gutter downspouts to my dry well/pit (*different* downspouts, pipes, and dry well than months earlier). They said that my gutters and downspouts are probably clogged and that my dry well might be full as well, but my dry well does not need to be replaced because it can overflow down the hillside. Then Petrack Plumbing replaced a leaking copper pipe in my basement. The pipe had a pinhole, so the plumber replaced that section of pipe with new copper pipe. They said that the other copper pipes in my house are the thicker-wall Type L pipe, so they should last for more decades. Appointment #5: My hot water heater and expansion tank were about a decade old and probably nearing the end of their lifespan, so I hired Petrack Plumbing to install a new water heater and expansion tank. Two plumbers arrived 1.5 hours early, but they did call in advance for our consent. They spent 2.5 hours doing the installation. At the end, they explained to my husband and me what the different parts do. The plumbers had noticed that the old expansion tank and pipes were connected to the hot water rather than the cold water, so they installed the new tank and pipes in the correct location. This extra work cost a little extra money, but the final price was still a couple hundred dollars less than another company's estimate.

From the initial consultation to the final cleanup, every step of our French drain and sump pump excavation and installation was handled so well. He answered all my questions with patience, and offered smart, cost-effective solutions for our French Drain and Sub pump. What really stood out was his work ethic. He showed up early, stayed late, and treated my home like it was his own. It's rare to find someone so driven and detail-oriented, especially at such a young age. If you're looking for quality excavation drainage work in the Pittsburgh area and want to support a hardworking local business, this is the person to call. I'll be recommending him to everyone I know!

May 2021: I had a plumber from a different company permanently disconnect my lawn…read moresprinkler/irrigation system, and West View Water Authority (WVWA) had to inspect and approve the work. One of my plumbers had removed the pipes, and then WVWA emailed me three documents about irrigation disconnection and a Residential Meter Setting specification sheet. I shared the documents with my plumbing company, and they sent a second plumber to my house to ensure that their previous work followed the specifications. WVWA then scheduled a serviceman to inspect my plumbing. (Tip: If you decide to permanently disconnect your irrigation system, I recommend that you first receive these three documents from WVWA to make the process easier, but my plumbers still thought that the documents were written a little confusingly.) The WVWA employee was courteous in her language, saying things like, "Have a super day and be safe!" WVWA did NOT give me an approximate arrival time, but the serviceman showed up in the morning. He also was very courteous, addressing me by my name and wishing me a good day. He spent a few minutes inspecting my pipes and meters, and my husband and I showed him photos of what our pipes used to look like. He asked me to sign a document that I would not reconnect the irrigation system without a backflow prevention device, and then he handed me a letter to confirm that my irrigation system was properly disconnected. Update: In November 2021, WVWA called my husband to notify him that the fire hydrant outside our house would be flushed and that the water might be brown. WVWA did not flush the fire hydrant until one week later, but at least it got done, and the water was not brown at all.

Not even a knock on the door or a call to let us know that they were shutting the water off TODAY! I called WV Water and was transferred to 3 different people. The last person said "Unfortunately they already started and they can't stop! This is unacceptable. We hade Drs. appointments today and tomorrow. Not a word from WV Water as to whether it will be off tomorrow too. I have looked at reviews for WV Water and they are terrible. Unfortunately they are a monopoly and don't seem to care. It would be nice if they schooled their employees about the proper way to interact with customers!

Needless to say, I was on Yelp finding someone else for a 2nd opinion. Jennifer at Metz called me and messaged me right away to view video footage and get something scheduled. I was able to call, text, and email her as often or as little as I needed to and ALWAYS received a response. The communication was exceptional from start to finish. Someone came out that same week to take a look and give out a timely estimate. This company does offer financing, although we did not use it. The quote was less than half of what the other company had quoted us. We got a straight forward diagnosis, with honest pricing, and reliable service. The team came out on the day they were scheduled at the time they were scheduled. They were able to complete our project in only 2 days. Extremely efficient, and walked my husband through what they were doing and put us at ease with what still needed to be done. The pictures and reviews from myself and everyone else speaks for themselves. While I hope to never need more restorative services on my property (LOL), if I ever did, I would 10,000% use Metz again. I will be recommending them to anyone I know who needs it. Absolutely amazing!
