    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unresolved
    Date of Transaction: ********** The amount of money paid the business: $4,875.00 Job#: ***************** I have drainage issues in my yard which consists of standing water after it rains; it is awful when there are heavy downpours. The original issue is water will pool around and over my patio and driveway area. I have a 2-tier backyard which includes a retaining wall. The guys walked the yard to see the areas of concern. I was advised they can fix the problem. They said I will no longer have any standing water after it rains and I took them at their word. They said it will be a bit costly but they can fix it. They were to install a trench drain including gravel and corrugated pipe behind my retaining wall. They would also extend an existing pipe on the side of my driveway. They also installed some basin drains on 2 sides of patio slab. Now, I have water coming over my retaining wall to the bottom tier of my yard. The basin drains do not work either. I took videos of it raining and how the water does not flow in the basin drains but stays around or beneath them because they were not installed low enough and nothing comes out of the pipe on the side of the driveway. I discovered the pipe is not buried underground or connected to the pipe it should be attached to. Due to all of this water I have a lot of erosion in the backyard and on the opposite side of my front yard where they laid a pipe in a trench that already existed. I have been in contact with them and was advised they would take care of this and make this right per my text message correspondence with the Office Manager on ******** **, 2023. They have yet to do this. I have contacted the Owner and explained the situation to him and he advised he would come by but has never made it here. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a business. I paid them $4,875.00 to fix this and taking them at their word. They have now caused me more problems than I originally had. I still need my yard fixed.

    Drain Surgeons installed a new drain field for us back in February & we apparently now have black water leaking from it (visible in the woods where it was installed). We called & explained what was happening & scheduled an appointment for someone to come out and inspect-They never showed. I waited onsite for over 2 hrs, called & was told that the technician who was supposed to show had called in that day, with no concern to call & let me know. We scheduled another appointment, took time off work again, only for them to come, look at it & leave without even announcing their presence. I called again & was told that they already came & looked at it. For several days I heard nothing back, so I called & was told that the technician suspected we had increased our water usage - I can assure you that with a small family of 3, our water usage is comparable to what it has been for the past 8 yrs that we've lived here, not much has changed & we have no leaky toilets or fixtures. They said they were waiting on the county, but that someone would reach out. (their excuse thus far). I never heard anything back, so once again I called & was once again assured that someone would call - it is now Wednesday & we still haven't heard back from anyone. With all that said, I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it, as we've been trying to get an answer as to what is going on for a couple weeks now, calling numerous times, with no call backs. Surely they warranty their work, but at this point our brand new drain field is actively leaking black water into our yard & I have no idea what to do about it. I won't even mention how long it took for them to install the system - It's unfortunate, because based on the numerous good reviews, we were hopeful that we were hiring a good, reputable company, but The Drain Surgeon company has proven thus far to be utterly unprofessional, unresponsive and lacking in professional curtesy. I would recommend others steer clear of using their services.
