Southern Drainage Systems

The owner John Perrie was extremely knowledgeable and the pricing was fair. He explained our drainage problem and found the cause of the water intrusion. He was very thorough and patient with my questions. He was great to work with and I highly recommend his company. Honest and has integrity!

Southern Drainage Systems did a terrific job. They priced the job fairly, gave sound advice on what was needed, and completed the project in timely fashion. Everything is working great and John and his team took such care with our existing to remain driveway. He let our 2 year old son explore his big tractor and take photos. John is such a great guy and did excellent work. We will be calling him in the future for our drainage needs and recommend him to all taking the time to read this review. -Nick in Oldsmar, FL

The job went very well. The ending cost was higher than original estimate but was justified and discussed with me as issues were encountered. The most significant issue dealt with was the amount of oak tree roots that had to be cutout and removed to provide for proper drain pipe flow and location. Laser device was used to ensure proper depth of pipe being installed. The job site was left in safe condition each day and the cleanup after completion was excellent. Before the new system was installed, we were dealing with flood water coming off our pool deck moving into FL room. Since we had the new system installed we have had absolutely no drainage problems. Note that I waited to submit this review after we have had a chance to test the new system with the summer rain storms. Passed with no problems!

had water in house during heavy rain. problem completely resolved with underground drainage and haven't had standing water since, and nothing near the sliding glass door.

I called Southern Drainage Systems about a flooding/drainage issue I had in my backyard and patio area. My backyard is next to a field which slopes towards my house. My patio and portions of my yard would be 'underwater' after a heavy rain leaving it unusable for days. I was also concerned about damage to the house and foundation. I called and spoke to John. He was courteous and assured me he would be able to solve the drainage problem. John arrived and I showed him the area and what exactly the problem was. He seemed very knowledgeable of this type of situation and was describing what was causing it as well as a plan to correct it. He took notes and measurements of the area and created a drainage plan with a quote. John and his crew were friendly and organized and began moving pavers, digging, etc. I was pleased with their work, it only took two days to complete and he gave me a five year warranty on the drainage system. Since then, we have had several rains, some even severe. I was so excited not to have any standing water in my backyard or patio after the rain! I was able to use my patio within minutes after a rain, not days and I would recommend them to anyone who is having a similar drainage problem.
