  On May 2, 2025 I received certified mail notice of a lien being placed on my property by Smyrna. Prior to this notice there was no communication from Smyrna. I hired ****** Excavation to add a driveway extension and sidewalk. They may have used Smyrna to supply the concrete but I had no direct contract or communication with Smyrna. I have attempted to contact ****** about this but get no response either by phone or email and there was no one at the office when I went there. The work by ****** was paid in full as per our contract after the job was finished.

  I contacted ******************** who came out and gave us an estimate to rip out our old patio and replace with a new one. This was on 06-28-24. This contractor works with ***, and they came out to pour their concrete, on August 1st. Weather was fine, and dry. We followed all instructions on after the pour. Following year spring we noticed the concrete crumbling or what they are calling it scaling. We are devastated over this as this job cost $6000.00. We called, ******************** to complain who then called SRM. It took awhile but finally *** the salesman for *** came out and gave us the same speech he gave past customers who had same problem. And quite frankly it was more of a social visit than a problematic solution to a problem. Our contractor from ******************** told us, *** used cheap concrete. And he stated there was another pour the same day and those customers had the same problem. Which we noticed a problem when it was curing but thought it was just taking longer. Now its all chipping away, getting worse everyday! *** stated right out, that SRM was not going to rip anything out, that our drain pipe caused it, and if not it was the weather from mild to cold temperatures and moisture under the concrete causing the problem. We have never had a problem there from the old concrete, I just wanted to put concrete against the house so I would not have to plant there anymore and it was suggested we change the pitch. Now we have to look at this mess for $6000.00 I will not settle for their solution of doing nothing. If they dont fix this we are contemplating the advise of an attorney. And will involve the news who handles disputes .

  Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC (SRM) is a ready-mix concrete producer. *** does not finish concrete or select the concrete product to be used in a particular customers application. In this case, the homeowner and/or their contractor ordered concrete to their specifications from ***. SRM delivered the concrete that was requested and there is no allegation that the concrete failed to meet the specifications that were ordered. Concrete scaling is primarily caused by freeze-thaw damage (which would be exacerbated in this case due to the presence of the homeowners downspout directing water over the concrete pad), poor finishing practices, and/or improper curing. Therefore, the scaling observed by the customer is very likely a result of poor choices made by parties other than ***.

  I was driving I-24 West near **************** when truck 741's loose rocks practically jumped from the truck bed itself and put multiple chips in my brand new windshield, along with another vehicles. The driver pulled over and was very rude, running his fingers over my windshield and asking if I had a camera to prove it. I contacted the company immediately when it happened and there was a supposed contact of the 'Safety Manager'. I have had no contact or response from this manager. This occurred at 7:16AM on a busy highway. Hopefully *** makes this specific employee perform better safety checks especially because people can no longer afford to take the brunt of making repairs from an apparent multimillion dollar company.

  2/25/25- is when this incident happened, so I am reaching out due to lack of communication of the company, and the training that they may not have in place. So, the ** working at my house ordered the concrete and the remainder of his guys do not clearly speak English, with that being said maybe some miscommunication happened between them not sure. But what I do know is the camera footage from the truck (the company says) shows the guys giving motion to move up. I do not know, as I was working but there is a blame game going on between them, and I am very disappointed on the communication and ownership from ***. The owner of the ** company has offered, to help repair and fix already and all SRM did was fight to get out of it when part of the problem was their driver. He was on the phone playing with that as well as not being able to quite understand the guys working, but as a driver driving a 30k truck, you would think that it would be part of their training to enforce they get out of the truck and simply ask a question or two like where can I drive?, or like maybe if there is a septic tank or not. Right now, I have small children and tank is wide open. I have placed a piece of plywood over the whole for now. But this could be a safety, and an environmental impact. Please help to get this resolved.

  Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC (SRM) denies any responsibility for damages to the property. Security camera footage from the homeowner shows the customer meeting our truck on the road, signing the delivery ticket, and granting permission for the operator to enter the property. By signing, the customer also acknowledges that *** is not liable for any potential damage.
  The video further shows the customer directing our operator to access the property by driving over the sidewalk into the front yard. Both the signed ticket and the security footage are attached as evidence in support of this response.

  I am rejecting this response because, the driver was told in the surveillance that wheelbarrows would be coming to the driver regardless of signature it's common sense not to know to run over someone's grass and sidewalk. As I stated before *** is responsible for the grass damage so I work damage.

  Our mixer operator reported the following statement:

  "On December 31, 2024 when I arrived at the job site, one of the crew members told me where I should position the truck to deliver the concrete. So I indicated to him that there was a risk of cracking the sidewalk, so I asked him to sign both the square box, the receipt, and the release of liability for property damage. Once the owner of the property saw that the concrete was broken, he told me to take the truck out."

  The video is consistent with the operator's testimony. The ticket was signed, and it is attached here.

  The customer signed the property damage release on the ticket agreeing to the following language printed on the release: It is the policy of Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete to Guarantee Delivery to the curb only. We will not be held responsible for towing bills for stuck trucks not on public roadway, damages to driveways, sidewalks, buildings, parking lots, trees, or property after leaving the curb. Furthermore, the undersigned agrees to pay for any towing charges incurred after our trucks leave public roadways."

  The customer signed this ticket before the operator pulled onto the property, releasing SRM Concrete of liability.

  SRM Concrete is sending out bad concrete. They sent out quality control and admitted it was bad, we cut it out, then upper level management denied to repair it. I have the recording of QC. They will not warranty their product.

  Date: 11/20/2024

  Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC (SRM Concrete) ***************************** sent a sample of the concrete to have a petrographic analysis done, and the report showed nothing was wrong with the mix. Rather, Mr. ********* failure to properly finish the concrete and plan for rain in the forecast on 9/25/24 (forecast attached) is to blame for the poor finish on the slab. Water accumulated at a low point in the slab and the concrete was not able to cure properly in that portion (photos attached).

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  This response is Not what happened please listen to the recording of my meeting with Quality control from SRM. At no point did this slab have any low areas or did the employees that came out from *** say that . The area in question was squeegeed off after 48hrs of not drying. This was the top ,approximate, 1/2" to 1 inch of the concrete. Even if the concrete tested out, the employees from *** didn't even want to test it stating that there was no need to(meaning they can see it was bad). they stated that after it gets removed that they will prioritize to get me the 14 or 15 yards to replace it back. Well that didn't happen after being on the schedule to do the repour, I was notified that morning that I will not be receiving any concrete  to replace the "bad" concrete. The new manager *** ****** has been very unfair and very unreasonable. I have now hired legal council to represent me. I honestly hope this goes to Jury trial. (If I didn't have this recording I would have been stuck with no recourse of doing what I was instructed by **** employees.) they could have easily settled this with a credit to my account and I would have continued to use them but I've since hired Titan Concrete and have poured over 70 yards with them on just this project.

  Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC (SRM) is a ready-mix concrete supplier. **** obligation is to deliver concrete that meets the specifications indicated by its customers.SRM has not been privy to the recording referenced by Mr. ********* however,*** does not dispute that the finished concrete Mr. ******** is complaining about had issues that were observed by SRMs quality team.

  
  After observing the issues with the concrete, SRM ordered a third-party petrographic analysis. A petrographic analysis provides an in-depth look at the mineralogical and chemical composition of the concrete. In other words, it examines the qualityof the concrete. The petrographers report concluded that the concrete did not have any quality issues, and it met the specifications indicated by *********** when he placed his order. Practically speaking, this means that any observed issues with the finished concrete were a result of finishing errors,including, but not limited to, low points and the finishers failure to properly prepare for inclement weather.

  I ordered concrete for my driveway I personally went to the office and they gave me a price with my dimensions when they came with the concrete they shorted me and i had to reorder then when they came back i had to pay again for more concrete which was totally wrong i would like to talk personally with someone to explain my situation Thanks ************************* my personal cell number is ***********

  

  Business Response

  Date: 08/23/2024

  Our management has been in contact with ********************. While ******************** visited our office and provided our team with the dimensions he measured at his job site, those dimensions, specifically the depth, proved to be faulty as he did not have enough concrete to complete the job. It is highly unlikely that our plant batched anything less than what was ordered as our batching system is calibrated for exact weights and volumes of materials. It is more likely that ******************** provided our team with inaccurate measurements for his project.Our team delivered exactly what was ordered by ********************. Nonetheless, to resolve this complaint, SRM has offered to refund ******************** the short-load fee applied to the second order.

  Customer Answer

  Date: 08/23/2024

  we received the response we will agree to the short term fee being refunded if you are talking about the $200.00

  it is not fair to say I was in accurate when if you really wanted to see the job you could come and measure the **** in detail and you would known that the **** was correct.

  if it was the calibration of the plant someone needs to take a look at this to say I was short you could came and look at the project.

  Myself the finisher and the laborer all measure the project and all came to the same figures of amount of concrete required which was only 3 5 6 so we order 4 where we could have enough and still came up short.

  On June 22, 2024, my husband was working on a project in *********, ** that required 51 yards of concrete. We had requested the concrete to be delivered approximately 30 minutes apart due to the large amount being poured. Initially, the trucks arrived on time, but then we experienced a delay without any clear explanation. After several calls, the driver informed us that one of the concrete plants had an issue causing the delay. Due to the delay, there was a risk of the concrete hardening and causing a crack, known as a cold joint.I reached out to ***********************, the regional salesperson for the area, and spoke to him on Monday, 07/01/24. He mentioned that he was looking into the issue and would get back to me. Despite my husband visiting the location daily to address the problem, we didn't receive any updates. The homeowner informed us that ****************** had visited the site and measured the area but was waiting to connect with the contractor.After leaving multiple voicemail messages and receiving no response, I contacted the plant. The dispatcher attempted to reach ****************** and later informed me that they couldn't assist with the situation without further explanation. As of today, 07/08/24, we still haven't heard back from ******************. In the meantime, my husband removed the cracked concrete on Friday, 07/05, and Saturday, 07/06, to address the problem areas. I am submitting this formal complaint due to SRM's mishandling of the situation. Despite assurances of contact, we were never reached out to. As a small business owner, it's imperative to highlight SRM's business practices. Despite being in the wrong, they have taken no action to address the situation. They acknowledge the issue but are unwilling to offer assistance or rectify the problem, which is entirely their responsibility.

  Order 7.5 yard of concrete in the beginning it was going good. Once he decided to be on the phone I had to get his attention to pour. In 30 minutes the concrete was coming the drum dry and it got stuck in the shoot. When to add water the holes bust in the drum. He decided to drop the dry bash in the grass then he said he have to rush and drop the whole load out mountain high so we had to stop what we doing to level and remove some of the pile. He said order to fix the problem, he had to empty out the truck which the mechanic told him. I had to go rush to get 4 more guys to help out. I call the company explaining what have happen. They said they will call me back that was on July the 2nd. The driver call me asking why did I call to complain about what happened. I ask him why you calling my phone what this, I hangup the phone and on the 5th of July I decided to call back complaining why no one call back enjoying their holiday. Once the manager call me, I explained the situation. He came by the location took some pictures and call me back told me, he will only pick up the mess on the grass but won't replace the grass. I was lucky of doing that for me and I ask him what about the dry cement was pour on site. He is not responsible for that just bad job on my end. Wow

  Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, LLC (SRM) was made aware of this situation and worked with the homeowner to clean the concrete that was improperly discharged by ******************** prior to the submission of the complaint. The homeowner thanked SRM for cleaning up the mess left by the contractor and agreed that the work ******************** completed was unacceptable and is not the fault of SRM in any way. SRM denies the request for a refund of the purchased material as concrete is a perishable product and must be discharged before curing begins. According to our operator, the ******************** did not have adequate labor to place the concrete in a timely fashion, leading to the poor craftsmanship and improper finishing techniques, as shown in the attached photo. Additionally, the homeowner informed SRMs management that she has been trying to contact ******************** and, to our knowledge, has been unable to do so.It is on these grounds that SRM denies Mr. ********* refund request.
