WHEN THE SALESMAN EXPLAINED THE PROCEDURE, HE TOL US THAT THE CREW WOULD DIG DOWN 4 FEET AROUND THE FOUNDATION. WHEN THE WORK BEGAN, WE NOTICED THAT THE TRENCH WAS VERY SHALLOW..ONE FOOT. WE ASKED ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAID THAT IS WHAT THEY ALWAYS DO. WE ASKED THE SALESMAN TO BACK US UP ON THIS, AND HE DENIED EVER HAVING TOLD US THAT THEY DUG 4 FEET DOWN. AFTER A WEEK OF SEARCHING, WE FOUND THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE THAT STATED THE TRENCH WOULD BE 4 FEET DEEP. ONLY THEN DID THEY CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND DIG DOWN TO THE ORIGINALLY STATED DEPTH. BASICALLY, THE COMPANY PUT THE ONUS ON US TO PROVE WHAT THE ESTIMATE HAD SAID. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WE ATTEMPTED TO TRANSFER THE WARRANTY BY COMPLETING THE OSW?S WARRANTY TRANSFER FORM - WHICH CLEARLY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL OSW NOTIFIED BOTH THE NEW AND PREVIOUS OWNER IN WRITING. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO OSW WE WERE TOLD BY OSW THAT THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEND OUT NOTIFICATION IN WRITING DESPITE THE STATEMENT ON THE FORM. WE NOTIFIED THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT OSW WAS POTENTIALLY ENGAGED IN FRAUDULENT BUSINESS PRACTICES THAT MIGHT BE TARGETING ELDERLY PEOPLE AND, EVEN AFTER THE AG CONTACTED THEM, OSW ATTEMPTED TO APPEASE US WITH A TELEPHONE CALL. EVENTUALLY WE DID RECEIVE WRITTEN NOTIFICATION, YET THIS STILL MAY NOT SATISFY THE STATED CONDITIONS OF OSW?S WARRANTY TRANSFER AS WE HAVE NO VERIFICATION THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER RECEIVED HER WRITTEN NOTIFICATION. WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN.
Description of Work: WATERPROOFING SYSTEM WAS INSTALLED BY PREVIOUS/ORIGINAL OWNER OF HOME. WE HAVE RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS COMPANY’S BUSINESS PRACTICES AND TREATMENT OF ITS CUSTOMERS! WHEN WE PURCHASED THIS HOUSE WE WERE TOLD BY THE SELLER (A VERY NICE ELDERLY LADY) THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE WATERPROOFING THAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED BY OSW COULD BE TRANSFERRED TO US.
