    Status:
    Answered
    Hired them to repair a septic system in March 2021. Told them not ro drive across my lawn because truck would get stuck. They drove across lawn and truck got stuck and needed a tow truck to remove it from front yard. They were to return and fill in holes which they made about twelve inches deep. I keep calling and they have scheduled to come out several times but no show. Rain caused the delay a couple times. But there has been plenty of dry days in the last three months when they could have finished the job and left my yard looking normal. The last time I called, they said I was "pretty far down on their list of things to be done". I'm not sure how I got so far down when I was at the top in the past. Most times I call , they put me on hold for 10-20 minutes or until I hang up. I even asked them to just bring the dirt out and dump it near the driveway and I would move it into the holes myself, one shovelful at a time. I am 82 years old.

    Company representative warned me $150 charge to come to house to fix broken faucet, but this amount was to be refunded from cost of job. Approved this, but not warned $250/hr until men entered house. Additionally, ignored my plea to mend pipe in attic and drop back down. Cost $475 plus now cost of sheet rock repair. Did report at time. Rewriting, as can find no record of complaint. Gladly send picture! Where are Customer Review Terms?
