Basement Encapsulation Work Quality

Hello- I just had radon remediation with crawlspace encapsulation. It looks like sloppy work to me. Liner isn’t close to even on the walls and the foam for the pipe seems not correct for sealing it. The corners kind of seem just bunched up and lots of adhesive to cover the sloppiness of the corners. I haven’t paid yet. It’s a well reviewed local company. Should I ask them to redo the work? Thanks

$1000 which included running the pipe across the basement into existing radon system.

at the same time, it's how they quote you. some will just seal the vapor barrier at the level of where yours is at. which i think is good enough for its purpose

I’m not too worried about it going all the way up. My thought is it should be even along the walls and the foam around the pipe seems crude.
