Business ProfileforColumbia Gas of Ohio

On April 18, 2024, I took 6 hours off work for a doctor’s appointment. At approximately 8:30 A.M. I received a knock at my front door, and a gentleman from Columbia Gas introduced himself as ****. **** explained to me that I had a gas leak below my concrete driveway where my RV was parked, and he stated that they may have to dig underneath the driveway. I just got this driveway done in 2019 and it was fairly new and paid approximately $15000 to get it done, so I immediately was upset. He stated that someone from Columbia Gas should have called me to let me know. I did not receive a phone call! He needed me to move the RV also. He went onto say that they would probably finish later that day and that they would temporarily back fill the hole with gravel until a 3rd party came out to replace the gravel with concrete. He stated the 3rd party was ***** Cement Company out of Sandusky and didn’t know when they would be out to concrete it again; however, stated that this was season that they would do that. He continued by stating that if the concrete company saw my RV was parked where the gravel is that they would just pass by my house without any notification and not do the work, and they didn’t have to call to make an appointment so I could move my RV. I became even more upset because a RV is not like a car, I have to make arrangements and notification to other people to move the 30 FOOT RV! When I came back from dr. office, the hole was approximate 12-foot-long x 3-foot-wide x 6 feet deep. Now my driveway looks like crap and is an eye-sore in my neighborhood. I am very upset that I have this gravel mound in the middle of my concrete driveway and not knowing if and when someone will fix it. Although I appreciate them fixing the gas leak, I deeply disturbed that I as a taxpayer I don’t have any rights on my property (driveway). I would like the driveway fixed immediately and feel disrespected.
