What can I do!!?

TexasDefects

I was finishing a renovation a friend came into help, he referred a sub to demo my old driveway, and pour a new half circle with drive up covered Porch. My friend Robby sent all the quotes, and he met with him and went over everything. Needless to say it wasn’t a great job it started cracking and chipping right away, then I noticed my sewage was backing up into my shower, I called a plumber in and there was a 8 foot blockage underneath my driveway he couldn’t get his camera in on either side, I called Robbi and Ricardo, they called me a nut case and block to me. Yesterday I broke open all my concrete and we found it had been cut on each side, and they just poured without. They also did my landscaping and I was going through pictures because they covered my clean out, I showed the plumber where they were and he saw the cast-iron pipe was sitting right there in my front yard. I don’t believe either one of them or licensed and bonded. I paid Ricardo $10,500, it cost me 7500 so far for excavation and plumber all we have done so far is just expose the area, the plumber is coming today to go through the rest of my sewage lines if he can get through. I sent pictures to Robbi because he kept telling me there’s no way they did it that my pipes are 18 inches below ground, they were at the most 12 inches one part was probably 10 inches, he blamed it on me that my plumber should’ve told me. The house was built in 63 I don’t know who the plumber was. Even the plumber trying to find the problem wasn’t sure how deep it was. They were driving a bobcat all over it when I showed up, and they were on dirt. To me this seems like a criminal act it ended up flooding in my marble bathroom that had not been sealed. It ruined up my brand new freshly painted baseboards. This set me way back to sell it. Robbi also did my landscaping, I had terrible drainage problem we went over that he sent me a quote for it, after he was finished he never level graded or prepared the soil, he did one drain that stops 15 feet from my sidewalk it just feels full of water and then flows over. He told me we never spoke about drainage. But I have it in writing from a text message that we did. He also said that he was going to do the irrigation and call the city for a backflow test. When I was upset that none of this was done he told me we absolutely never spoke about drainage. Now after I found found out that I had no sewage line, it makes sense why I never got my backflow test. I cannot get my final inspections. What can I do these guys are crooks!
