I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the abysmal communication, negligent workmanship, and deceptive practices I have experienced with Acculevel regarding my property located at [Insert Property Address, Illinois].As a military spouse currently stationed in Hawaii, I specifically sought out a contractor capable of professional remote project coordination. Instead, over the course of nearly two years, I have been subjected to high-pressure up-selling, false statements regarding municipal permits, incomplete installations that left my property vulnerable, and systemic ghosting by your staff.The expensive drain tile system you sold me completely failed to address the root cause of the water intrusion, which your own contractors have now recently admitted. Below is the documented timeline of your company's failure to deliver on its contractual obligations:The 2024 Botched Installation & Deceptive Practices:May 2024 (High-Pressure Sales): Your representative, Jerrell, aggressively pushed a $5,800 "special" if I used your finance company, claiming it was a "special that was given to us today". The total quotes presented fluctuated up to $6,900 for tying into existing tile. I trusted your team's assessment that this expensive system was the necessary solution. June 2024 (Permit Misrepresentation): While my basement actively flooded for weeks, Jerrell sent me unprofessional messages telling me that "it's not gonna hurry things up if you keep calling the office". He repeatedly blamed Will County for dragging their feet on Permit #2401340. However, when I proactively contacted the permit department myself to advocate for my home, the county informed me that they were actually waiting on Acculevel to update the scope of work. June 17-18, 2024 (Property Negligence): During the installation, your crew shut off the gas. They finished the job and left the property at 2:30 PM without notifying me. Even worse, they improperly removed the property's lockbox, meaning I could not grant access to anyone to safely turn the gas back on for my tenants. When I contacted Jerrell about this urgent safety and access issue, he dismissed me, stating, "We are at our big sales rally. I will be following up.". July 5, 2024 (Immediate Failure): Barely two weeks after installation, I sent Jerrell photographic proof that water was pooling in the exact same spot I originally reported. The July 2024 Refusal to Remediate:July 9 - 10, 2024: Following the July 5th failure, I raised concerns with Brenna regarding the poor inspection quality. Jackson was dispatched on July 10. Despite me showing him the water intruding from floor cracks in front of the HVAC, he insisted the HVAC was the issue and refused to act because there was standing water. I offered to coordinate a clean-up to coincide with his return visit. Instead of collaborating, he escalated to a manager and told me I had to speak with Ryan (Service Manager).July 10 & 16, 2024: Ryan (888-957-0215 / 866-950-0128) stated he would check if a drain tile would resolve the issue and promised to send an inspector out. No one ever called to schedule this.July 22, 2024: Braxton eventually came out and suggested installing drain tile "fingers." Acculevel continued to push expensive drain tile systems rather than doing due diligence to seal the obvious floor cracks where the water was visibly intruding.The 2026 Discovery of Incomplete Work:Spring 2026: Upon physically returning to the Illinois property, I discovered the drain tile installation I paid for was inexplicably separated. Your contractor created a drain tile along one wall running to one sump pump, and a separate, completely unconnected drain tile on the other side of a concrete wall running to a different pump. Water is still coming up around this wall.Recent Visit (Coy): Coy came out to inspect the ongoing issue. He completed his inspection, left the property without notifying me, and failed to call. Two days later, he texted me validating my original 2024 assessment, stating: "the other places are going to need some epoxy patching where the cracks are to seal it up so that water doesn't come through there."Ongoing Ghosting: Coy promised to send a quote for this patching--the cheapest, most logical step that Acculevel previously ignored. He never sent it. I have since called the main office repeatedly. A representative named Jody left me a single voicemail. I have called her direct line and the main office repeatedly, leaving multiple voicemails. No one has returned my calls.Acculevel has taken my money through high-pressure sales tactics, lied about permit delays, neglected my property's security (lockbox removal), installed a disconnected and ineffective drain system, ignored the actual source of the leak, and is now actively ghosting my calls.Demand for Resolution:I expect a call from a regional manager or corporate supervisor within three (3) business days of this letter to outline a remediation plan. read more
