Drain Designs

I couldn't be happier with the service from Drain Designs. They were professional and nice throughout the whole experience. They clearly explained all the options and reasons behind the various quotes. We had a recent big storm, so I was able to see their completed work in action--it was great!

We had a major drainage issue with water from adjacent retaining wall leaving back yard a soggy mess - inches of wet mud. I was highly impressed with Nick and his team from the very start. He promptly showed up for his estimate the day after I called and walked me through the issues he identified and offered a range of solutions. I had a detailed quote in my inbox by the end of day. He fit the job in earlier than originally promised and the results were immediately noticeable - done in one day! I had a few follow up issues and Nick proactively reached out to me and was always accessible by text or phone. In an environment where it's hard to get contractors to show up or call back, Drain Designs was a breath of fresh air. Super professional, quality work and people at a fair price - what more could you ask for? HIGHLY recommend!

Our soil is all clay which has the highest risk of damaging a foundation as it alternates between wet and dry. Even a light rain would leave us a soggy yard for days as most of the roof drained to the lawn via downspouts or popups. Water would collect at the front of our house because the front yard and driveway sloped down to the house. The builder used flimsy corrugated plastic tubes for underground connections to pop ups on the lawn. (One of flimsy tubes was blocked with debris.) Drain Designs did an excellent job connecting new commercial grade 4 inch PVC pipes to all downspouts plus installed two surface drains to collect water at the house front. The three-team crew (Rob, Dalton and Jonny) were courteous, skilled and hard working. They hand dug trenches next to the foundation against our home, carefully removing any plants which they watered and set aside. The PVC pipes were placed and securely connected with screws. All of the roof’s rain was directed through the underground PVCs to the woods behind our house. Downspout cleanouts for flushing were placed. The plants were replanted so carefully that neighbors could not tell that the work had been done. In the following week we had two intense downpours during which the new system worked flawlessly. No water pooled at the front of the house or in our yard. We highly recommend Drain Designs. BTW, their guarantee is a lifetime…not my lifetime but the home’s because it’s a Transferable Lifetime Warranty.

Amazing work and worth the money. It has been over 8 months since installation and no concerns with drainage. Very professional staff and left the property looking better than what it was prior to installation.

Quick, affordable, and efficient. They took a major headache and turned it into a total non-issue. Top notch all around!

Finding a good contractor is a little like making a good friend - you can trust them and you know that they’ll be there for you when you need them. Kevin - the owner of Drain Designs - is one such contractor! I asked Kevin to come out to take a look at a drain as my parents were preparing to sell their house. Kevin regularly does very large drainage projects. Like some contractors, he could have said it wasn’t worth his time or charged an exorbitant fee. He did neither. He was there in a couple of days, did the work quickly and efficiently and even helped us with a few other smaller fixes while he was there at no extra charge. Now I have a drainage contractor that I can trust and recommend for many years! Thanks Kevin!! Also, a shout out to Hannah in Kevin’s office who keeps Kevin pointed in the right direction.

The drains were designed. The crew installed them, and Kevin checked everything to make sure it was OK. Kevin then returned a month later free of charge to check on some damp spots and suggested some non-drain solutions. They were very professional and helpful. I would definitely recommend them.

So, here's the thing. Drain work NEVER goes exactly as planned. This job was more difficult and complicated than either I or Drain Designs anticipated. With that said, the Drain Design crew and the foreman, Robert, could not have worked harder to ensure my satisfaction with the job. I don't know that I have ever had a contractor show such patience, professionalism, and competence on a job. Each time there was a snag, or a root, Robert and his team figured it out and the result was excellent. We have had a couple of rain events since the installation and the stormwater drains do exactly what they are supposed to do. I am confident that the foundation drain will do so as well. But you know what? They'll come back to be sure it is working appropriately and they guarantee their work. They even worked hard to get all the displace plants replanted. I can't say enough about the excellent service, work ethic and quality of their work. They aren't the cheapest, but I think they are absolutely the best. Job very well done!

LeavesOut referred us to Drain Designs to help fix our extensive outdoor drain pipe issue. We had corrugated pipe and it was not functioning, which became abundantly clear after a huge storm. Drain Designs came over and gave a very thorough and professional assessment of our situation. They were able to get us on the schedule right after the new gutters were installed which ended up working out perfect. We had a few small issues after installation and Drain Designs fixed the problems without hesitation. Very pleased with the followup and would highly recommend their services.

It's been almost 4 years since Drain Designs installed a residential drainage system for my home. Time has proven the worth of my investment. Since the installation, we've experienced multiple hurricanes, as well as periods of extremely heavy rains. After each of these incidents, I have checked my crawlspace, and it is DRY. Quarterly, a pest control company inspects my home and crawlspace. After the recent heavy rains this past winter, they were impressed at how dry the crawlspace was. They told me it was one of the few homes that actually had a dry crawlspace, as they had seen many others in the area with considerable water accumulation and saturation in the crawlspaces. I highly recommend this company. The owner is extremely knowledgeable. After his very thorough, careful review of my property, the system he recommended and installed completely resolved the drainage issues at my home. The team that installed the system was very efficient, professional and neat. They cleaned up their work site each day, neatly organizing their tools out of the way. They were truly the most professional team of workers I have ever encountered in more than 30 years of home ownership. I have no doubt whatsoever that this was money very well spent.
