Still awaiting an explanation from Van Delden Wastewater on the enormous amount of styrofoam noted…read morein the attached photos. They are not replying because they know there is no plausible explanation I have recently learned a 4'x4'x10' sheet of styrofoam was used to fill space on top of my system. I even know it was purchased at "Foam Products of San Antonio" Still wanna say I'm fabricating details Chad? You forget I have what was the lead installer on my side now BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE UPDATE #2. Because I refuse to let Van Delden simply deny accountability and my claim that there are neighbors dealing with the same issue the map below shows 2 houses circled that have the same fiberglass unit buried even deeper than mine. The homeowners are currently working with Highland Homes to "find a resolution" to fix these ticking time bombs. Highland is asking for their patience as they come up with a solution. They are having to try to engineer something to reinforce it and prevent collapse without having to replace the entire system with a concrete system like I had to and which should have been placed from the beginning due to the depth of the plumbing coming out of the house. UPDATE. since they still are not interested in taking any accountability let me describe with more detail. First of all the photos speak for themselves! The styrofoam has no business being there. What on earth could explain its need to be there? Van Delden and Highland Homes both try to blame the other. Van Delden tries to say they "have written documentation from Highland Homes that they further raised the grade after project completion! That may be the case but that still doesn't explain the styrofoam. A picture is worth a thousand words. I think these speak very very loudly Let me add a couple more including a stack of risers and some specs from the Clearstream website I can assure you there was a suit filed, lawyers were involved and that Clearstream (manufacturer of the septic system itself), nor Highland Homes were too happy with my photos, videos, or firsthand inspections We ended up having to pay $18,300 for a full replacement with a different company. Highland Homes paid us this plus a small bit more (which barely covered my lawyers fees plus the 1700 sq fr of sod that had to be replaced (4 pallets at $270/ pallet) And I do know for a fact that two of my next-door neighbors systems are buried every bit as deep or deeper than mine and Highland Homes is currently seeking to find an engineering workaround to avoid having to replace the whole system When this first happened I would have settled being out a few thousand dollars of my own money if you all would have just done what was right and owned it. Instead you want to continue to deny accountability Wish I could give a half star. My fiberglass system which is not supposed to be buried any deeper than 18" was knowingly buried just short of 4' deep due to the plumber placing main line too deep. Rather than installing a concrete system which would be capable of supporting the weight of that much soil on top they opted to install the fiberglass system and put a MASSIVE amount of styrofoam on top to fill some of the space but not weigh as much as soil would (as if that was ever going to work long term). It worked for about 3 yrs before it completely gave way and collapsed revealing their deceit. Upon reaching out to them they simply wanted to fall back on their "2 yr warranty" and because it was 3 yrs they declined any and all accountability. I live in Timberwood Park in a pocket of 19 homes built 3-5 yrs ago and already multiple homes have had similar failures and two of my neighbors have fiberglass systems buried as deep or deeper (we can measure down the clean out pipe to the T fitting as well as see how many risers were used when the septic lid is removed. I had to get a lawyer involved and we won that case without a problem. I have tons of photos and videos showing how much blatant disregard went into my installation. They are known for being price gougers. Now you can add sketchy and deceitful to their name!!!!!!!!!

Dillon came out and located the leak, repaired, tested and advised the system is now closed and no leaks evident. Daniel and Dillon are very conscientious and thorough in their work.

I pinged him multiple times to ensure I wasn't missing any hidden cost or fees. He replied quickly and thoroughly to all my questions. The estimate seemed too good to be true plus I had also seen some mixed reviews on Yelp so I wanted to be sure I did the extra due diligence before making a decision. Not all plumbing jobs are the same and things that happened during the big Texas storm early in 2021 I had to take with a grain of salt. After confirming all the details with Pete and researching more online, I trusted him and his team with the job. As a bonus, his team was ready to start work the very next day so we got it on their schedule. Communication throughout the engagement was great. They showed up in the window they gave me. They finished the work fast, efficiently and professionally. Everything went smoother than I even expected and I was very pleased with the work and overall experience. I can't vouch for all of their services but if you need a hot water heater installed, I can definitely give them the thumbs up! I'll consider them in the future for other plumbing jobs that might spring up too.
