At first, I felt overwhelmed and powerless when I saw the water leaking in the basement, unsure how to fix the situation. But after the visit, I gained valuable knowledge about water conservation, billing, and sewerage. I felt empowered, grateful, and hopeful, especially for the kindness and dignity shown by the educator who helped me understand these issues.
When EcoWorks visited my home, they provided clear, hands-on training and involved me in the process. Unlike others who only told me what to do, they showed me step-by-step, even helping me install the window kit tracks. Their teamwork was so impressive that it felt like they were family. I’ve never experienced such excellent service & I didn’t want them to leave.
