After a new pump was installed and some digging done, we were left with two inches of clay…read morecompacted on top of about 80 square feet of lawn. Further, it was spread by some type of heavy equipment, leaving ruts showing the tread marks. We have an acre of land. Had the septic person asked where we would like the clay, we would have directed him to an out of sight, far corner of the property. His response on the phone? "I am not a landscaper, I'm a septic guy." Hey, it doesn't take a landscaper to know that clay compacted by a back hoe on top of an existing lawn is a very bad idea. I certainly hope that the $4000 we paid resulted in what we needed for our septic system; it clearly resulted in what will likely be hundreds of dollars of lawn repair.

problems!! The service requested was February 2023 I had Jeff Sullivan which apparently no longer…read moreworks for free flow come give me an estimate. We have a pump room that is moist and creates black mold usually during the fall and winter months. We have bleached and used vinegar in the past and now have a fan and dehumidifier and a ceiling fan to keep air flowing per free flows advice. The quote from Jeff was over 7,000 to Jack hammer the floor up along the entire inside floor and add stones for when the water dripped and then to also dig a sump pump so that water from the surface would just fall into the pit and eject out with an ejector pump. Then to go outside and sig a drain to the center of the yard to allow any excess water to run away from the home. Then once that was completed we'd have an entire house fogging of any mold spurs and a promise of no mold returning as long as we kept the room fan and dehumidifier working. Which I have done so. I scheduled with free flow in for April 2023 because I wanted to vent the house after the house was basically sprayed throughout with chemicals for mold. Our appointment was canceled and bumped as someone had an injury and they had to reschedule me to accommodate the injury. I was scheduled for a Tues Wed appointment and possibly Thursday if needed and they came on a Monday. I was not able to stay as I had an appointment and needed to leave. They asked to look at the pump room and I was able to get my dad to stay while I left. Apparently plans changed they looked at the pump room and assured me the quote was wrong from Jeff and they did not feel the original quote was correct and the dig needed to be outside not inside. Me being in a rush to get to a doctors appointment was not really in the frame of mind to sit and chat about a past employer with these guys of how the job was not quoted incorrectly and it's outside work not inside work. I listened and they made it clear they needed to dig along the blocks on the outside and eject the water to the middle of the yard and to spray along the house. Then do the inside mold fogging another day. I'm like well I want the mold not to return so if you're telling me that the quote was incorrect then let me know what the new quote will be and we can go from there! I looked at Kenny and I'm like it's not going to be higher prices then this right I assume cheaper and he said to talk to the office about the price. Apparently they were fine getting started on the job without the new quote so I oked them and trusted what they told me . Kenny assured me he knew what he was doing and this was the right move for the house and the mold problem and this would fix the issue. Then I get a email from the office while I'm at a dr appointment saying to sign the new documents . I didn't because I did not get to read it yet and I wanted to make sure to look at it and see it itemize and what the price would be. I'm assuming a lot cheaper for half the work. Then Ashley calls saying she needs it signed right away so the guys can get started on the job. I'm like hummm I think they do get started . So I assume I'm just signing for the outside work to be done not a price as I'm thinking we can talk about a price once I call her back so I sign the document to get started on the work. Later when I get home I print the document and see the price is the same well over 7,000 dollars and half the work later I'm realizing wow that's a lot of money when all the work that was done was really the last part of the original job bided and their needs to be some kind of compassion to me . So I call the office and speak to Dan he's not accommodating or empathetic in any way to a customers concerns! He assure me the work could be bid higher for the outside job I chuckle and say NOWAY you need to give me at least 2-3 grand back no way that job is as much you did not even do half the work quoted one the original contract???!!! Really???! I'm like what scammers! So a week goes by and we are mowing and the cap outside on the vent gets sucked into my lawn mower and I call Dan he tells me no way it's their fault I can replace it I'm like um no!! So after many phone calls disagreements and no responses from the office or Dan I email him and he finally tells me someone will come out next week. No one then the next week no one then like a month nope no one !!! Finally like 2 months it gets replaced.! Long story short the fall time is back and the mold is coming back. I've messaged Kenny 2 times since the holiday weekend and he told me Ashley would reach out to me. Oh also I had to hire and attorney just to get my paperwork prices detailed as they say they can not itemize a bill??? I wanted to look at the first bid and the second bid pricing. I'm a person who gives others the benefit of the doubt but the office people have not shown any remorse for anything they've failed to do!!!
