Cannot say enough about the service we experienced with Pipeworks on 2 recent occasions. Initially we contacted them to come out and take a peek at our water heater that was leaking, as well as a sump pump that was on the fritz. Upon arrival, it was determined that the water heater was failing and a new one would need to be installed. Unfortunately, the model we needed was not something that they readily stocked on the truck. Immediately they dispatched one of their technicians to secure the appropriate model, even thought it was across town and required multiple stops. Once they had the right materials, the removal and installation was done quickly with a thorough explanation of why it was being replaced. As for the sump pump, they could not recreate the issues that we had experienced previously and therefore indicated that we did not need a new one. I sincerely appreciated the honesty, as I know nothing about plumbing and could have been easily convinced of the need for a new pump.
Now, flash forward a couple of weeks. Our sump pump finally gave out, as the internal switch quit working, which would have been undetectable at the time of the initial review. I called to inquire about a service visit and Janice dispatched Rick to our home within 2 hours of my call. Rick confirmed the pump was shot and would need to be replaced, and then proceeded to talk me through my options. Although there were options that varied in price, he never once tried to steer me into the more expensive option and assured me that the option I chose would be sufficient for my needs. As much as I appreciated this level of honesty, Rick took it a step further at installation time. After installing the new primary pump, Rick informed me that something had failed with our water-powered back-up pump when he reinstalled it. I would have had NO WAY of knowing this, and he could have easily walked off without mentioning. However, he took the opposite approach and indicated he would be back the following day to install a new back-up pump free of charge. He wasn't sure what went wrong, but knew that it was not in the same condition as when he arrived and wanted to make it right. I was truly blown away by this level of honesty because again - I have zero understanding of plumbing systems and probably never would have noticed until it is time to replace my primary pump again in several years.
I cannot recommend this company enough for your plumbing needs. Honesty can be hard to come by and these guys have it in spades. Ask for Rick - he's the man! read more
