Emergency Services Restoration, Inc. ESR Victims and all customers of ESR have LEGAL RECOURSE! Lawndale California

This company is operating 100% illegally in the state of California. This information comes from our attorney who we had to hire because they screwed things up so bad. Anyone who has been a victim of ESR should immediately contact a lawyer or take them to small claims. I have detailed what our attorneys have told us below for you.

1.) you CAN sue them. Even if the job went perfect, you can sue them. Subcontractors, 1099's, whatever it doesn't matter how they hire their employees or techs. Because ESR duly acted in the capacity of a contractor by hiring or sending the techs they are therefore guilty of being an unlicensed contractor.

2.) DO NOT PAY THEM A DIME! Because they are unlicensed they have NO RIGHT to contract with you or any plumber for that matter. Unlicensed contractors are NOT entitled to any money from you. Sign anything you want, then when it's time to pay tell them to sue you. When they do sue you let the court know they are not licensed. They will have to PAY YOU!

3.) California State law requires that ALL CONTRACTS signed in the home for any type of construction contain a 3 day right to rescind. For any remediation that was due to a disaster (leaks, floods, etc), they must give you 7 days. If they decide to start the work before the 3-7 day period is over and you cancel, that is their loss, NOT YOURS. THIS IS CALIFORNIA LAW!

4.) they are only certified by the EPA for lead paint removal. THAT IS IT! This certification STILL doesn't make them licensed contractors.

5.) pay attention to the cert numbers for RTT. When something says cert # 001, there is a problem.

6.) if in the future ESR gets a license that still is not enough!! California State law requires that the licensed individual must be present to supervise during the entire job. I hardly doubt the owner will do that or pay the wages of numerous licensed individuals!

please feel free to contact me with any info or questions. I have found an AMAZING attorney who is familiar with ESR if anyone would like a referral. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE STOPPED!!!!
