On 01/02/2024 i contacted the *** to have an inspection of a tank on a piece of property I recently purchased to find out the condition of the tank. On 01/05/2024 The technicians, **** and ****; said there were cracks which were visible to myself and my husband, but we were told that $3600 for a deposit for a septic tank replacement and a rejuvenation of septic tank lines as a combination together it would cost $7000. Was told by the technicians that the $3600 would pay for them to do a rejuvenation as well as put us on their schedule for repairs and for parts to be ordered. We were told the rejuvenation by itself was only $1000 and I called the company later that day to request a refund due to wanting a second opinion and I was told that I would have to wait around 30 days depending on my specific bank. After numerous calls and emails the company has only offered $1000 refunded but that would leave me paying more than the quoted $1000 for the only job that was performed that day which was the rejuvenated pipes. The merchant informed me that it wasnt a correct quote and that the amount charged currently was correct. It wasnt the stated or discussed amount by the two technicians. I was told that they dont believe me and that I needed to read the invoice again; I read it multiple times and still came out with paying 2600 more than what I was quoted for only the rejuvenating at $1000.Business Response

Hello,
We provided several services for this customer. First was a ********************** inspection & septic tank pumping to complete the inspection. Next we removed the Old deteriorated concrete baffle, Connected to the outlet line as well the distribution box to Rejuvenate vacuum out all the waste clogging the supply lines. We also install Pvc parts on the rear baffle as seen in the photos with a Preventative filter. The customer wanted to install a new ********************** tank in which $1000 was put down as a deposit after the services were provided and materials installed. When the customer requested to cancel the ********************** tank replacement we refunded the Monies in the amount of $1000.00 without hesitation. We have a total of 42 photos to provide documenting our services rendered. The system only allows 5 photos to upload as seen. We have spoke to the customer about the issue in which was resolved and clarified. Now it appears they are attempting to take materials and services we completed by lying saying it was not approved. Services were provided which our team was onsite for 2 hrs. to make the repairs. If you need the additional photos I can send via email if needed. The charges made by the customer are valid and what was owed to our company.
The deposit was refunded -10856808-2813 01/09/2024 5:35 PM Refund $1,000.00 Approved On ********* 3588 ****** *************************

I am rejecting this response because: the company stated that I put down $1000 for the combination replacement and thats incorrect. As shown on this invoice I put down $3,622.00. Theyre lying and I want them held accountableBusiness Response

Good Morning,
We have tried to work with ******* regarding this matter a few times. Just to clarify the scope of work performed on July 26th 2022 We installed a new Grinder pump with a new control panel with High water alarm. We did Not replace any PVC/plumbing as it was still in decent working condition. We also noted to customer while upgrading the parts replaced its recommended updating the plumbing to new SCH40 PVC which was declined due to cost being an issue. The system was tested and showed the customer everything was working great. The type of pump system that was installed has the plumbing standing above the ground level which is potential hazard(see photo of kids football next to unit) Customer has a two year warranty on items installed Good thru 7/26/2024 which she is aware as its listed on her invoice. Customer called in 1 year later after installation on July 15th 2023 stating" I have a leak coming from our washer box now. We advised we can help out of course but disclosed there will be a service fee to check the new issue "not related" to our work. She advised she would get back to us. Customer "never" called back until October 20th 2023 at 3:13pm She sent photo which is attached showing the Old PVC was cracked in half. No problem we offered to send our technicians out but again, a service fee will be charged if No repairs are made. We also just reminded through a normal conversation that pipe was Not part of our installation but can certainly replace it. Customer refused the service call to check the failure and demanded we replace it for free. Unfortunately we are not in business to make repairs for free. We have not heard back from customer thus far until this notice. We are still willing to help customer but she will need to pay for the replacement of the pipe.
