Weeping tiles

I originally hired this company to install weeping tiles to one side of my house and along the front of the house under the porch. I was not happy with the work performed. I do not recommend this company to anybody.

They did not complete the work on time. I had taken vacation days so that I could be there when the work was being done. They showed up one day and then disappeared for several days and I had to go back to work. The work they said would take four days lasted for several weeks as they showed up when ever they felt like it. They mostly only came to work when I was not home.

Instead of hauling away the excess dirt they shoved huge piles of dirt under the porch and put the porch floor boards back on the porch before I had a chance to inspect the work. When I complained, the owner told me to quit complaining or his guys would walk off the job and leave the work unfinished.

When they finally filled the trench they dug for the weeping tiles they did not compress the dirt enough. Now the side of my house has sunk down in one area and all the water pools in that location. The gas meter was reinstalled in a crooked position as well. They said that they would hook the weeping tiles to the storm sewer and they did not do this. Instead they decided that they would break into the floor in my basement and hook into the drain on the basement floor. The winter passed and when spring thaw came my basement flooded because the weeping tiles flowed into the drain which could not handle the flow. I had them back to fix the problem but they did not fix the problem.

I ended up hiring another company who completed the weeping tiles on the rest of my house and they had a professional plumber tie into the storm sewer..

Approximate cost of services:
$7,000.00
