    It depends on what pre-emergent product /active ingredients was used and when.
    A general answer is probably not this year for re-seeding to be safe. Consider using sod to re-establish your lawn and not seeds.

    Are you sure it was a "pre-emergent" that destroyed the grass, or a combination pre and post emergent mix.?

    You should find out the exact product(s) and contact the manufacturer information line on the product label. Or file a complaint or with the state pesticide regulation department or county agricultural commissioner. If you don't want to get the lawn service cited and fined, then make an inquiry with the county ag advisor.

    There are commercial options available, but these may affect the soil negatively for the next seeding. If the problem isn't too bad, then you can pour boiling water on the weeds, and reseed the lawn. Here is an article with information on this: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/controlling-bindweed.htm

    Spray the unwanted grass with an herbicide.
    Or hire someone to remove the piles.

    If there is no way to till and remove, you may have to kill the area, and re-seed with fresh grass, or whatever else you may want to put down.

    There are 3 types of fungus that can be the causes and their is a general group known as “water molds,” which are diseases known scientifically as Pythium and Phytophthora species. Both of these diseases produce mobile spores that can swim through the water and attack the roots of lawn plants as well as annuals and vegetable plants. These diseases cause what is commonly known as damping-off and root rot. Usually when these diseases attack, you will notice reddish to brown lesions just below the green part of the leaves. Then the entire plant wilts. The plant can be pulled easily out of the soil as the roots are slimy. These plants are dead and you will have to reseed in September with resistant varieties.
    Check with your County Extension Office for the best seed to use in your area.
