Cardoso Landscaping & Construction

They knew what they were doing. Came right away, dug it up and got the water running again. It was too cold and snowy to put a patch on the driveway, He didn't charge me for that, said it would be around $200 in the spring if I wanted him to do it. . I called and they just came by and patched it beautifully. I called to thank Steve and ask how much and he said it was no charge! Really nice company to work with.

Cardoso was a subcontractor on our home addition project.  He was hired to do excavation work, digging, etc.  With his work and because they were so close to the addition, the sewage pipe and electrical conduit were exposed and suspended insufficiently several feet in the air while foundation and basement were constructed.  A few months after Cardoso had backfilled, our main sewer pipe and electrical conduit, both going to the septic tank, had collapsed underground.  The pvc sewer pipe had become unconnected to the cast iron piping from the house, near the foundation.  Further digging revealed that the second 10? section of pipe from the house was bowed.  This had resulted in water collecting in that pipe and that it was therefore not pitched adequately. The electrical conduit holding the line going from the house to the septic pump was sheared.  All of these issues were caused by settling, due to improper backfilling.  The excavator should have tamped the ground down, underneath the sewer and electrical pipes, much better than they did ? if they did at all - to ensure adequate support.  Cost  for repairs so far is $5,990.
