      This complaint is about the failure of a contractor to return the work area back to its original state after completing their work. This failure resulted in a flooded basement for my home. As a result of the flooded basement, I incurred an extra cost of $1902.09 from a water mitigation contractor to dry out the basement. In addition, we lost several personal items including a one-year-old treadmill ($545) and two 40" TVs ($220) that were being stored on the floor.Complaint Incident - 7/6/2022. On the morning of July 6th, I went downstairs to find the basement flooded with about 6 inches of water (we had experienced a couple of days of steady rain). I immediately went to the sump pump to see what was wrong and found it unplugged. As soon I plugged it in it started to run and clear the water. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. No one had been in the basement since the plumbing contractor did the repair to the water heater on June 28, 2022. They did use power tools during their repair. The closest outlet to the water heater by easily 20 feet is the single outlet for the sump pump. I assume they used that outlet and then forgot to plug the sump pump back in which caused the basement to flood due to the rain we had. This is obvious negligence on the part of the plumbing contractor.I called a Water Mitigation contractor (Service Master) to come out and dry out the basement. This contractor cost $1902.09 to complete the service. I have reached out to DRF multiple times by way of phone calls, emails, and customer service chats. I have been promised multiple times they would look into the incident and get back to me. It is now early October and I have not heard back from anyone. I am tired of asking for a response from DRF and not receiving anything back from them I want this matter settled.Attaching a full explanation of contact with DRF as well as supporting documents.

      We have reviewed our notes and contacted the technician who performed the service work on 6/28/2022. We've confirmed with him that no power tools or other electrical equipment was used. There would not have been any reason to unplug the sump pump.
