Legal Question in Construction Law in Indiana

Home Improvement / Contractor
I hired a landscape company to raise my landscape, due to a flooding issue, and replace my timber retaining wall and replace my brick paver patio. The patio is off of a walkout basement. The work was done end of 06. This spring I realized my drain system wasn't working. Long story short, they attached a bunch of drain tiles to my drain system and removed my perimeter tile. I attempted through my sewer service to have it repaired, but everything would have to be ripped out, boulders and stone. The manager said he wanted me to use my sewer service and said they wanted to take care of it. Now they refuse to pay the bills and I have permanent damage and worse of all, I'll probably flood again with next heavy rain. What are my options, legally. I'm so mad that they even touched my drain system without my knowledge or authorization.

Re: Home Improvement / Contractor

There are a number of laws on the book in Indiana that protect consumers from unscrupulous and/or incompetent contractors. Most relevant to your rights will be the nature of the agreement, if any, that you signed. Feel free to contact me should you want to discuss further.
