PSEG Gas Line Upgrade Update

March 23, 2022

PSEG came and started working on upgrading our gas line to a high pressure line. 

They dug up part of the curb and some pavers in our front that led to the garage where the main gas line leads into our home.

 

They were done with the upgrade less than a day and left our front looking like this. 

We were told that a contractor was going to come by afterwards to re-set the pavers. So we waited. 

... and waited.

... and waited some more.

Meanwhile, we've had a few (strong) rainy days since then and we've been getting puddles in our basement. Thankfully, the puddles have formed in the area where we have our heavy-duty steel shelving units set up so we had nothing on the floor. We just had to do a lot of wiping and cleaning.

Husband and I have talking about calling PSEG to follow up on repairing our pavers but between work and other things, we couldn't find the right timing to call. 

Last week, someone from PSEG came by and took a photo of that dug-up area. Husband goes to talk to the PSEG crew and was told that their original contractor had reported that "pavers were not available" as a reason so they came over to check. Obviously, the pavers are all there and have been there since they dug them out in March. 

PSEG says that they have replaced their contractor since they found many anomalies and today, a different contractor came and made repairs. 

Hopefully, no more puddles in the basement.

Gotta hand it to PSEG. I'm pleasantly surprised that they did keep track of this and came to follow up even if we had not made any complaints yet.
