    I put in a service request with American Home Shield in May 2022 for a leaking toilet. AHS sent Pipe Solution to my home to fix the leak. A technician with pipe solution put the wrong sized ****** on my toilet and glued the toilet to the floor. I called AHS about odor in my bathroom and a possible leak in March 2024. Tech From Bidget Plumbing confirmed I had the wrong sized ******, the toilet was glued to the floor, and because of this all of the waste didnt go down the pipes but under the toilet messing up the flooring underneath and its the cause for the odor. *** is saying that per their contract they are not liable for the contractors errors. I ask that you reach out to Pipe Solutions for a resolution because I refused to just be left with the damages. AHS only sent me $435 to cover the ******. I bought my house in November of 2021 and Pipe Solutions came out in March and May so there are still internet photos of my house and bathroom showing my toilet was not glued to the floor. ****** shouldve bolted the toilet down. This was clearly their mistake. I need some kind of settlement.

    Pipe Solutions left a mess in our sewer and then ghosted us. We were having blockages of our sewer at our facility, so our regular plumber recommended that we contact Pipe Solutions to correct the problem permanently. We contracted with Pipe Solutions to line our sewer pipes. Instead of installing one continuous liner, they installed segments of liner and then planned to coat the sections of pipe between the liner segments with epoxy. When they couldn't get our pipes dry enough to apply the epoxy successfully, they left us with incompletely lined sewer pipes. At the beginning and at the end of each liner segment, the liner material curled into the sewer pipe channel, acting like a claw to catch toilet paper and other flushed items, blocking our sewers repeatedly. When I contacted the owner of Pipe Solutions, *********************, with these concerns, he did not have a plan to rectify the unlined sections. In fact, he stopped answering and returning my phone calls and texts, forcing us to seek out another sewer lining contractor (*********************). Thankfully, ********************* was able to install one continuous liner over the incompletely lined sections and the curled liner ends which Pipe Solutions had left in our sewer pipes. We are now more than one year downstream from *********************'s successful installation and we have not had one single blockage of our lined sewer pipes, stabilizing our business and protecting our employees and clients. (Thank you, *********************) We paid ********************* and Pipe Solutions in full for their incomplete lining job, in excess of $30,000. We then had to pay ********************* a similar amount to completely re-do the sewer pipe lining. Subsequently, we attempted to make a claim with Pipe Solutions' liability insurance. For the last year, the attorneys for the insurance company have been playing the delay game and giving us the runaround, refusing to pay us any remuneration for Pipe Solutions' failed attempt to line the sewer pipes.
