Diversified Drainage installed an extensive drain tile system around an addition to my house that was heaving during the winter. Now that we are into the winter season and the soil is freezing, I can confirm that the solution worked. No evidence of heaving. Thanks for solving the problem.
OUTSTANDING quality and work ethic!!! Truly EXCEPTIONAL!!!
My wife and I were blown away by the QUALITY and WORK ETHIC of this crew. The project took a few weeks to complete. The crew showed up PROMPTLY every morning around 8 AM and did not leave before 5 PM despite a 90+ minute commute each way. When they arrived, they immediately went straight to work only took one short break for lunch each day. They even showed up and worked in the rain. And they were always polite and friendly.
Our project was especially complicated because it involved removing and reinstalling pre-existing (expensive) landscaping, which included a large, 800+ square foot freeform paver patio. We marveled at how they managed to put the paver patio back together BETTER THAN THEY FOUND IT. The entire job was executed with care and precision.
We are VERY HAPPY with the finished product and the REMARKABLE SERVICE we received. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Diversified Drainage.
I originally got a quote last fall about putting drainage in. Explained my situation and Mitch stated this is what needed to be done to resolve my issues. I wanted until this Spring to do it as all the rain we have had my issues were becoming more bothersome. Mitch was great I called him back and asked if the quote was still valid he said yes it was and got me on the schedule.
It took a little bit for their response back but mainly because they were extremely busy due to all the rain. I was very satisfied with the installation of the drain tile. Aaron came on site very professional. Told me what he was going to do it and how it would help. He was outstanding to work with and the quality of the job was awesome. They cleaned up very well and my SOD is growing back into place.
After it was installed we have had significant rain fall. I checked the spots where the drain tile was put in. It was a little wet at first but by the next day it was completely dry. Usually it would take a week if not longer for this to dry up! I was very pleased overall with the experience.
Problem #1 was that my sump pump pipe would drain into the lawn and create problems with standing water. No matter how long of a sump pump hose I bought, I was constantly moving its position in the lawn in order to vary where the water would drain into my yard.
Problem #2 was that I had a couple of low lying areas near my home that collected water during heavy rains and also during spring time snow melt. This water would then flow into my home and the sump pump would need to work overtime in order to drain it all away from the home.
I searched for drainage contractors here on Angie's List and found Diversified Drainage. I contacted Mitch and he came to the house and assessed my situation. Mitch suggested digging a trench and laying a pipe underground that would run all the way from my sump pump outlet to a drain near the back of my property. Secondly, he suggested re-landscaping a portion of my yard to eliminate the low lying areas and creating a slope that would drain water away from my home.
I agreed to the work and in early May 2014 the project was completed. All of the work was done in one day. In fact, they did it all while I was at work and buy the time I came home, it was a completed project. The only reason Diversified Drainage needed to return was to lay sod for the re-landscaping (sod was not yet available the day the project was done).
It has been several weeks since the project was completed and I would have to call it a success. We have had several rain storms since the project was complete and my yard looks better and is drier because I do not have a sump pump hose laying in the yard. Also, the sump pump is running less often because the new landscaping is carrying water away from the house instead of pooling in the low lying areas.
It was such a rush job, I couldn't get an electrician until the following week. These guys went out and bought the electrical cable and buried it so when the electrician finally came out all he needed to do was hook up the sump and put in a new breaker.
We were so pleased that when we moved to our new house in a different area of town, we hired them again in July to regrade much of the back yard, and install a drain and drain pipe, thanks to lots of flooding in our basement. (So much for accurate disclosure statements from the previous owners...) Again, they were not the cheapest bid, but they had the best plan of any contractor we contacted, and did tremendous work. They also were able to do the work sooner than anyone else, and came a week before they had originally said they could, which we REALLY appreciated!! Everyone else had a wait time of about 2 months, and we only had to wait 2 weeks! The best part: With all the rain this spring, sod was hard to come by since apparently sod farms in the area were flooded. Diversified Drainage was the only company to suggest removing our sod, doing the regrading and drainage system installation, then laying back down our old sod. Everyone else said we'd have to re-seed the entire area since sod wasn't available, which we weren't keen on since we have 3 kids and 2 dogs who would have a hard time staying out of that area. The end result looks even better than it did before - the slope is away from the house, there isn't standing water in our lawn any more, so the grass is actually doing much better now.
Later in July, my in-laws were having some water in their basement so I recommended Diversified Drainage to my in-laws. They came out to their house, looked at the situation, and told my in-laws that they didn't need regrading or drainage installation, they needed new gutters! There was no charge for the visit, and my in-laws were impressed that they actually turned down the work because it wasn't necessary. They were able to fix their problem by calling a gutter company instead. We were already impressed by Diversified Drainage's work, now we were impressed by their integrity as well.
They are an outstanding company and I would recommend them very highly to anyone who had drainage issues on their property. They've earned a glowing review from us, 3 times over!
Diversified Drainage did a spectacular job! I had a serious drainage and standing water problem which I could not solve myself. I called Diversified Drainage and set an appointment for an estimate. Mitch arrive on the day scheduled, on time. Mitch was straightforward and very knowledgeable. It seemed he knew what I needed before I explained but, he let me explain anyway. He gave me an estimate, by e-mail that day along with a diagram of the work to be done. Mitch told me that it would take about a month to get to my project. Three weeks later Mitch called and scheduled the day that the work would be done. The crew from Diversified Drainage arrive exactly on time on the day scheduled. Aaron, the crew leader told me that the project might take two days and I was fine with that. They put in the entire drainage system, which was about 500 feet with two sixteen inch drains that day. They returned the grass they had taken up and seeded in places it needed to be seeded. We had a 11/4 inch rainfall and there was NO standing water but it had been dry and that was not a fair test. Last night, 8/6/2013, we had 2 inches of rain in about an hour. In the past, that would have resulted in standing water for days but, I am extremely happy to report that there was NO standing water last night and there is none today.
I used to wake up worrying about water on my lawn leaking onto my neighbor's lawn but I can see that is now in the past thanks to the fast, professional work of Diversified Drainage. I would recommend this company and Mitch and Aaron for any job you might have. They fixed my problem, quickly, painlessly and best of all, on time and on budget. I would recommend them without reservation.The sod looks great now and you can't even tell that our entire side yard and a quarter of our front yard was torn up.
And best yet, was the fact that we did not turn our sprinkler system on until much later because of the weather (2 months after the work was completed). When we had problems in that area they came back immediately and fixed it!!
