Reviews & Testimonials
EXCELLENT Based on 859 reviews Posted on Fred NovyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Remember those old cowboy movies where the cavalry would ride up at the last moment to save the day? Well yesterday, my wife and I awoke to find our basement ankle deep in water. We have a fairly large basement with paneled walls, and carpeting throughout. Part of the basement is designed for storage and our HVAC. The other 2/3 for recreation. The entire basement was underwater. At 5:30 in the morning, we sat In our kitchen, looking at each other, wondering what we might do. It then dawned on us to call Steve at American Weathermakers. Around 6 AM I called Steve and he answered right away. Telling him the problem he said don’t worry, my guy will be there in a half hour. Remember that part about the cavalry riding over the hill to save the day, well Augie From Weathermakers knocked on our door inside that half hour. He told us that his boss said get over there right away. Augie was clean, well informed and friendly. He went downstairs into our basement right away., And slashed over to our sump pump. Pretty quickly, he decided that it was the sump pump that had failed and filled the basement with water. No later than 8 o’clock that morning we had a new pump and auxiliary system. What followed after that was restoration. American Weathermakers are very professional, knowledgeable, and fairly priced. Their service is terrific, and in the event of an emergency like ours arrives very quickly. I would recommend American Weathermakers to anyone and tell them about Augie, who is terrific.Posted on Linda GoadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
