"I was refereed to this company through my home owners insurance.  I paid him on the 7th with a 2500.00 check as a deposit.  on the 13th after he had repeatedly been over he kept on "forgetting" to bring the contract. I drew one up on my legal pad and had him sign it so I do have an agreement.  In the contract was removal and haul away of debris and old shower stall, mold treatment, application of Dry Lock on walls, Instillation of new larger sump pump and tank, and instillation of new drain around the edge of the basement all to be completed on or before July 15, 2011.

The mold treatment and application of dry lock went well.  Now every time the new sump pump kicks on water shoots out of the bathroom sink upstairs.  When the workers started to install the new drain in the basement floor they could not saw through the concrete.  They even tried to use a jack hammer in one corner.  Now there is worse leakage where they were able to score the floor and the corner where they jack hammered has a constant puddle. 

He informed us that they could not install the drain in the basement and could not fix the issue with the sump pump.  The job was "completed" on the 19th. I asked for Mr. Fowler to pay to have a plumber install a working drain and fix the sump pump.  He told me he could not but he could refund me $300.00 of what I had already paid. 

The only reason that we were going to have the drain installed was because he told us the mold would just keep on comping back, and that he would be able to do the total job.  The job is not completed, there is debris in the front yard, and the cleanup in the basement was incomplete.

I feel that because we are elderly we have been taken advantage of and we do not want others to go through the same experience.  I feel frustrated with myself for not thoroughly researching this company before the work was started.

He did just recently come by my home and refunded $1000 of the $2500 that I paid him initially.  I appreciate the attempt on his part to make a settlement for the work."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Yes, testing professionals typically provide reports with recommendations for safe lead removal.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.

No. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover any kind of lead remediation, focusing instead on sudden, unpreventable events like fires and theft. Many insurance companies will specifically exclude lead paint removal, since it tends to be an expensive and unavoidable project. The exception is if the lead surface is damaged during a covered event (like a flood) and homeowners insurance pays its replacement.
