Stoddard Plumbing

Description of Work: I had a brand new septic system put in at the close of escrow on my home by Stoddard plumbing. Part of the terms to me buying the home was a new system. Within six months of living in my home I smelled rotten egg throughout my house. Stoddard plumbing said they charged 200 to come out to look at my tank. I agreed to this in February 2016. Mark Stoddard and his son who is an employee of the company that I later found didn't even have workers comp came out to service my new tank. Mark Stoddard said he needed to pump my tank for $745 otherwise all my waste would go inside my home. I agreed to the pumping. I was also told they were snaking the lines. After they pumped the tank I was told the health department would need to come out, an engineer to come out for 5,000 and 3,000 for permits and a new drain field in which they would have to relocate in my backyard " my saving grace point" after they dig up my yard at my expense... but if I can't afford it I can sell my home for 35,000 less just like my neighbor is having to do. Oh and Mark told me if I can't afford it I can " get creative" and just put my laundry hose out the window, shower at the gym and not flush the toilet. Total joke! According to Mark Stoddard two of my neighbors purchased homes with new septic tanks to later have failed drain-fields in which one neighbor remodeled his home and is now having to sell his home due to not being able to afford the cost of the failed drain-field. This company is unethical and needs to be reported. They are taking advantage of all my neighbors and unfortunately we are all on septic systems and there are not many companies that service septic tanks. I guess they feel this gives them the right to take advantage of people.
