Came home to this event today. “the hell did you find it necessary to cut open my driveway?” in the calmest demeanor possible. Apparently a survey deemed there to be a gas leak which warranted my gas being shut off, driveway excavated, and back gate left wide open. The hole is about 6 feet deep based on the individual standing in it.
The Good: all new gas service and meter installed - plus no gas leak. Driveway to be patched.
The Bad: driveway patch is “temporary” and will be my responsibility to have permanently repaired but VA Natural Gas will pay for it? They were scarce on details. There’s now massive holes and dirt everywhere.
The Pissed: zero notice whatsoever. No slip on my door, phonecall, nothing. So no heat or hot water all day- because fuck if I had someone elderly or newborn living here who needed to make preparations to stay elsewhere.
It now 440pm, there’s still a guy in the hole, the other holes are wide open and looks like a lot of missing lines still.
I really wouldn’t be so irate if I’d have at least received a phone call that said “hey Mr Gengar this is VA Nat Gas calling to inform you we discovered a gas leak and had to secure your service in order to make necessary repairs, sorry for the inconvenience.” instead I got “fuck yo driveway, fuck yo yard, shower in the cold”

My driveway is covered in a layer of ice so thick you could call the Antarctic research crews to have them take a core sample and determine history with it.
Hyperbole, but it’s so thick, and I have to deal with a slope covered in a thick sheet of ice, both on foot and in a car...

Thankfully we’re not dealing with too unfavorably cold situations today. I’ve dealt with many a frozen driveway and it’s something I’ll gladly pass on.

Spring is coming, so naturally it was time for the ManGophers to dig up your yard. Right?

Just go fall in a hole and hurt yourself and sue the living shit out of them.

My driveway is currently permaflooded with two inches of water. The septic is under it and they put in a new one a few years ago. The earth has since settled a bit and made a big depression. It’s been raining nonstop for the last few days so I now have to either wade through water or park almost in the street.

There is a significant lack of any hole markers. And as far as I know I’ve yet to be contacted by the company that anything is going on.
Could make a real fireworks show and just back the Sebring out of my driveway into the mini possibly has filled chasm

Oh backing the car out would be good. But I think walking into a hole would be seen as more egregious on their part.
But a pedestrian could feasibly fall into the hole and they would still be on the hook. They need to set up cones and cover the holes when not in use.

I’ve had my gripes about my drive, but not like yours.
When we were building the house, I specified clearly that I wanted to have a level driveway. They agreed. It’s a nice incline due to the grade and runoff. Know how hard it is to get a wheelchair in and out of a car on a slanted driveway? If it had to be that way for code reasons, then so be it, but why did they lie to me (rhetorical question).
Then, most of us on the street found that the concrete guys the builder hired suck, and one by one our driveway slabs started sinking irregularly. I finally had to repour mine last year. At least now it’s done properly. Still slanted though.
