I would not recommend Sam Simko to anybody. He was hired to clear a sewer line blockage and he negligently broke and got his cable stuck in my sewer line. He could not remove his cable and I had to hire another company for $1800 to remove his cable. I sent him a certified letter demanding reimbursement for the additional, unnecessary expenses and he did not respond. I took him to small claims court (44th district court, royal oak) where he lied stating it had been 2 years since the incident (occurred in 12/08), I had never contacted him (I sent him a certified letter) and that he spent 3 1/2 hours trying to unblock my sewer line (I have phone records in which I spoke to him before he started and after he broke his cable - 25 minutes!). He even tried to claim his cable, which he never claimed, was worth $1500. However, when I offered to return it to him, he admitted it was worthless and he didn't want it. The Judge saw through his lies and deception and awarded a judgment in my favor (case 09-92309SC). During an intermission witness in another case approached me and exclaimed, ""He is so arrogant and he keeps talking!"" He has yet to pay me my judgment. When he does, I will update this post. Be very wary before you hire this guy!
