I was hired to do a water damage/mold job & completed 90% when a state & fed law requiring lead to be abated stopped the job before it could be completed. A lead abatement contractor gave a bid, but the homeowner never hired them or anyone anyone to do this work ; preventing us from completing last portion of our job. The customer asked us to remove our equipment ( after 30 days waiting -with lack of action from customer to remove lead ) since he did not want us to complete our portion of the work. The insurance company had denied his claim and he was claiming broke, no funds to finish. We tried to work out a settlement for less, but to no avail. We filed a lien on his property a month ago. Question; should we have filed a stop notice with the county ? We only asked him to sign a " Hold Harmless" agreement which he refused. He is no longer communicating. hat should we do ?
