American Water Resources

Clogged kitchen drain I have a clogged kitchen drain They will not cover to unclog the drain because my plumbing under my sink was “done wrong”. A legitimate plumber who can’t unclog a kitchen drain is pretty bad! What a complete joke of a company, while they are telling me they aren’t covering my claim they are still trying to sell me other insurances.

don't return phone calls or email terrible to deal with!!!

American Water Resources contract is filled with gaps to make sure they only pay the least amount of coverage in the event you have to use their service. Customer service personnel are hard to deal with because they all speak broken English and are trained to tell you to read your contracts fine print. I called numerous times (No less then 10 times) and was on hold for hours during this nightmare. To start, I had 4" of sewage in my basement from a sewer line back up. I contacted AWR about the backup, but they could not get a company to come to my house for three days (come to find out they only have one company contacted in my area). AWR does not allow you to find your own service provider. A plumber finally arrived after the three days and worked on the clog for 4 hrs and they came to the conclusion that they did not have a long enough auger to get to clog. I had to call AWR back up and after another hour of waiting on the phone I informed AWR that another plumber was needed with longer auger. The second plumber came out and after about 2hrs of work this plumber determined that it was probably a bad sewer line, but they needed to confirm with a camera that he did not have on his truck. So, the next day another plumber showed up with camera and determined that it was too dirty to see??? Hmmm Dirty sewer water of course that would be my guess lol...? They decided it was a crushed sewer line. The plumbing company submitted a proposal to AWR for the crushed sewer line. I never saw the proposal or had the opportunity to negotiate with another company. The plumbing company said the cost would be $5000. AWR said my policy covered a total of $8000 but they would only pay $4000 because the other $4000 was for repairing streets and sidewalks but my fix did not go into those area. So, I agreed to pay extra the $1000 because what choice did, I have? A week later with sewage in my basement for a week the plumbing company dug up the yard with a big backhoe. They fixed my pipe but caused a lot of yard damage. After it was complete the plumbing company said they don't fix yards. I thought my coverage covered fixing the yard? That is a big No. AWR said $4000 is all I get and nothing to fix the yard. I could have negotiated with another company, got it done for cheaper and had everything fixed with sod. So, please do not waist your money on AWR and find another warranty company because it was the worst company I have ever dealt with, and customer service is non- existent.

Scam company they said they would fix the leak but said I had to pay to get to it

I've paid a year and 3 months worth of payments. Needed a simple sewer line clean out. (AWR) technician diagnosed it as an indoor problem. This company(Keepe) who sub contracted the job to a local company(Reeda's) took about 3 days for (Reeda's) to show up and diagnose that it was an outside sewer line issues; they needed to renegotiate their fee.long story short, she couldn't reach (Keepe) I connected her with (AWR) no resolution, so understandably, she pulled her crew. (I send Keepe a text with the concern)waited 2 weeks and a few days,of back and forth phone calls and texts, "Be patient and wait, we're trying to get a plumber in your area." to then receive a voicemail from (AWR)" We can't find a plumber, you'll have to find one, pay out of pocket, then we'll mail you reimbursement papers. Mind you I am on a fixed income and the whole purpose of buying their insurance plans was to prevent having to pay out of pocket ($500) for a sewer clean out. " I had cancelled a policy with them days prior because they were drafting payments out too closely in some months, ( though they deny it) why did you have to send a check to me for overpayment then?) Never the less I still had 10 days left on that contract ( which this claim was filed on) I 🤔 to myself, "maybe you should reconsider so I reinstate under a new contract (extra payment taken) ... Why offer an insurance/ service when you don't have plumbers available for hire because of ya'll s bad business practices 😡 They DIDN'T fix my plumbing issue and only offered a discount. Discounts don't compensate for negligence poor service and false advertising. I asked to be refunded 1/2 of my money on all premiums made, but they said No, we cannot. All (AWR) did is take my money and left me hanging.BUYER BE WARE!

I’m glad I read the reviews! They are worse than the extended warranty’s for your car people!

Total scam, only out for money. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS COMPANY, will only take your money and no service. Just lazy people scamming folks outta their money

Got their letter offering their services in FL but I decided to do a little research on them.I am so glad I was able to read all the negative reviews about this company. People beware of American Water Resources POBox 4080 Carrol Stream IL60197

The only reason I gave them one star was because I couldn't give the anything lower. I paid for years on several properties. Made a claim and was denied. What a rip off.

I have had no water service for nearly 5 weeks. The water service line protection insurance I purchased through AW proved to be useless. There was no claims manager to deal with, without calling through the generic call center and hoping to get a return call. I will end up spending 34K out of my own pocket because I could not get the insurance to kick in. The city had to get involved before I could even get AW to offer me a solution. Still waiting for it to be implemented. The mayor is involved now. I wrote to the president of AW, explaining the entire situation. No response.

My ancient 87 yr old auntie keeps getting these notices from American Water Resources of Texas. I'm glad for Trustpilot. She thinks her bank WANTS her to get this coverage. She still owes a mortgage. I keep telling her to ignore such scare tactics but promised to look into AWR. So glad to confirm my original opinion of companies like AWR.

I just received their flyer also, and was considering signing up, then thought I want to see what reviews are out there ... thank goodness for Trust Pilot. I will not be signing with them. Who do you report these type of scammers to.. could a class action lawsuit be started for those who did sign and got ripped off? There HAS to be some remediation. Thank you for watchdogging these disreputable companies.

They did work on my mother's house and refuse to give us an invoice of the work done. I have been trying to get a receipt for the past 3 weeks. AWR is telling me to contact the contractor the contractor is telling me to call the insurance company because the insurance company doesn't allow them to give out receipts. I do not understand why it is so difficult to get a receipt of the work completed. It's like they are hiding something.

Received a flyer from this company but decided to check Trustpilot before I jumped on the offer. It seemed too good to be true. It offers protection for my underground water line between the county connection and my home for $3.49 a month. Reading the reviews here as well as other sites I am not going to sign up. I always check Trustpilot 1st. Thanks everyone for posting.

any company that only has a tele to opt out of autopay is a junk company. and any company that doesn't let you sigh up with out autopay is also a junk company. so this one checks all the junk boxes. and, i called they use every sales pitch they can. STAY AWAY!!!

So happy to see these reviews. I received a letter today and was considering buying the coverage but after the reviews that are 90% negative I decided not to even consider it.

Well received the letter yesterday and own a house built in 1928. Rate of 47.50 a yearc seemed reasonable; however if I paid it they withheld the right to to deduct it every year. I could not sign up for something that gave me NO provisions of the insurance upfront. So I went on Trustpilot and BBB...thank you everyone for your reviews and experience

I received a notice from them, after reading the reviews I have decided to not use their services. Thanks to all that have posted. This is great information to know beforehand.

I have been paying premiums for over two years. This week I wanted to file a claim. The website says I can not file a claim. 20 minute plus hold times on both chat and voice. Yikes. I agree with the 15 April reviewer. This company needs to be sued.
