Heres ANOTHER WAY to look at it

Home had water problem hired execvator to do work without permit didnt
want hassles.

excevator contractor did horrible job, I was ripped off, he effectvely
stole my money by not doing it right, put drain line on top of footer
rather than below, caused contiuning water troubles, I had to have
much of what he did redone, and didnt find out about line location
till later.......

then had interior french drain installed.. more money.

all preventable if jerk had been inspected.

its a hassle but just the fact their work is being inspected you get a
better job
