I called Choice Warrenty to report this only to find that this plumber had reported a blockage in the pipes outside our house, with no verification, and that our claim had been denied on account of this. What the plumber did not know was that we had a local company clean the septic tank and lay a new drain field and pipes to the house only last December - there is no blockage in the new pipes outside our house. When I tried to talk with the plumber, it was like talking to a brick wall - no acknowledgement at all and he just kept repeating what he had said over and over and over, talking to me like I was retarded with no knowledge of our situation. I have lived in this house since 1971 and there is nothing I don't know about the construction of this house , the plumbing , electrical, you name it , I know it . When I called the company who sent him , the plumber , out to us, they told me ''its your word against his'' and it seems they take no further responsibility for his not doing the job, nor for the conflict of what he has reported back to them and what we are saying. So , I paid for his service but he has not done the job. He has scammed us also out of the $450 and not come back to show us the results nor to do that job again either as he said he had to do. We were so so so gullible to give this plumber the $450. We had some faith in his integrity only because he was sent to us via Choice Home Warrenty company. I can't believe we were so stupid now. This just happened at the end of January and with all the excuses , first he said he was sick, then busy, then said it was raining and he couldn't camera the lines, ( it was not raining ) then he said his truck broke down. I don't believe him at all. I called again and a woman ? answered and started yelling stupid things at me on the phone, the same things the plumber has been saying over and over that are simply not so. This woman was screaming, yelling, that I don't know what I am talking about that there is some obstruction, yelling, screaming, and this on the day the plumber was over 3 hours late, after telling us it was raining ( it was not ) then that his truck broke down, hah, so I hung up and called Choice again. Same result. This man has scammed us out of $450 and done absolutely nothing . He is not telling the truth to Choice, the company who sent him to us. I think there are more crooks and scam artists than good guys in Florida. What to do now ? We consulted an attorney from Just Answer services - here is her response - 06 April 2016 01:1006 April 2016 07:01Lucy, Esq.Consumer Protection Lawyer ''' Hi,I'm Lucy, and I'd be happy to answer your questions today. I'm sorry to hear that this happened.You can sue the plumber for $450 for the work he never performed that you paid for. You do have to prove that you gave him the money, but if his defense is that he actually DID the work, he has to prove that. If he snaked a camera through your pipes, he should have pictures that show it. Plus, you can use your phone records, text records, emails, etc. to prove that he never showed up. Go through any records that you have. The burden of proof in civil court is by a preponderance of the evidence, which means "more likely than not," you paid him and he didn't do the work. It's also crime to lie to a judge under oath, which stops most people from going to court and saying they did work when they didn't.These types of claims are usually brought in Small Claims Court, which is very user-friendly and does not require a lawyer. You're allowed to ask that you get repaid also for your filing fees. Here is more information.http://www.flcourts.org/resources-and-services/family-courts/family-law-self-help-information/small-claims.stmlAlso, check to see if he's licensed. If he's not, you can report him for representing himself as licensed. If he is, you can report him for charging you for work he didn't do. Enough complaints, and they'll revoke his license.https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp?mode=0&SID=Another option is to send a demand letter, via certified mail, giving them one chance to refund your money before you file a lawsuit and report him to the state. If you go that route, give them a deadline - one week or 10 days is probably enough time, but it's up to you. ''' I want my $450 returned to me or the camera timed and dated showing this obstruction ? that is supposed to be in the pipes outside my hose that were just newly laid down by Coker Plumbing when they installed the septic tank drain field in our house 12/ 2015.

Once the installation got underway, I was asked to come into the bathroom, they wanted to confirm if the sink bowls were porcelain (they were not.) - the head plumber had started to use something other than silicone for the drain stopper installation (I assume it was plumbers putty).

Clean-up was ok. There was a sticky substance left on the new flooring in front of the vanity that wasn't there before they arrived.

French Drain Service reviews from real Angi homeowners in Leavittsburg, OH
They charged me 350 and "snaked" my drain- supposedly the whole way to the street. 10 days later it was backed up again. They came back and told me that I had 12' of roots in my sewer line and quoted me a price of 11k to fix it. I called another company for a second opinion- they snaked my...

"Overcharged for labor on hot water tank AND installing 2 faucets. Dumped rusted metal from the inside of my broken hot water tank into my floor drain when I clearly have an ejection pump system which caused a terrible clean up issue in my drain. Could not install a new faucet in my ceramic pedestal sink but charged me 2 hours for taking the old faucet out. We are not at all happy with their field plumber who did our inside plumbing. Would never recommend to anyone."

FAQs for french drain service projects in Leavittsburg, OH
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost to install a drain pipe is $600 on average, but the total can range between $150 and $2,000. Some cost factors that influence your project price include the type of drain, the area’s accessibility, the proximity of existing drain lines, and whether you’re installing a new drain or replacing an old one. Replacing the p-trap or s-trap under a single fixture will usually cost around $150, while replacing a main drain pipe can cost well over $2,000.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.

We highly recommend leaving the work of replacing drain pipes to a professional plumber. Drain pipes are a key part of your plumbing system, and making mistakes during the installation or even using the wrong size pipes for your specific fixture can lead to an elevated risk of leaks and clogs. Additionally, drain pipes prevent harmful sewer gas from entering your home, so hiring a professional plumber is essential to keeping the risk of leaks and clogs low and avoid reducing your indoor air quality.
