SideSlope Engineering, P.L.L.C.

unknown

Very professional and thorough evaluation of the prpblem. Sideslope provided alternatives to fising the problem. We chose one based on their recommendations. Propmpt repairs and very clean work. One of the few companies that offered the engineering and repairs as a package. We had engineering evaluation performed previously but had trouble finding a company willing to do the repairs. The scope was either too large or too small. They re defintely on our list for future work if we need them.

I called Jeff because he was one of the few drainage professionals that was also an engineer. Our project was large and daunting and included surveying and rerouting drainage between 5 homes. There's an 18" storm drain dumping onto a lot which is then carried by a swale from house to house into a neighborhood common area. Pools were built directly in the middle of the swales blocking the water causing massive flooding. Jeff came out and surveyed all of our lots and came up with a route that would alleviate the problem. His estimate was by far the most reasonable but unfortunately with so many neighbors involved, trying to get on the same page made the project difficult. We ended up not using Jeff because the neighbors couldn't agree. We used Jeff's survey results to take to our HOA meeting because it was so detailed. He knows what he's doing and I would call him in a heartbeat for any other drainage issues I face. He's always on time and very knowledgable on drainage.

Work was not to my satisfaction (and I am an easy guy to please).

The French Drain installed per his recommendation did not solve the water problem at all.

Did not complete drainage pipe to the street, either. 10 feet short, which I have to finish.

See above.

Jeff Corley was very responsive. He scheduled a meeting to understand the need. He talked me through the options and prices. He provided a proposal within a week of the initial discovery. Jeff scheduled the work within a week of my acceptance of the proposal. His crew was very professional and were focused on meeting my expectations.
After the work was complete and the crew left, I inspected the installation. I asked for one modification. SideSlope made the modification within two weeks. They did not request any payment up front. They said that I would pay when I was satisfied with the work. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend SideSlope to anyone.

I liked that they were completely open and honest. They came out and told us matter-of-factly what the problem was, what they were going to do and what the price was. There was no hard sell and no pressure to close. Their price was what I expected it to be and what they have done works. It is a very small business. They respond but they are definitely not in it to make a ton of money. They are very laid-back. They also volunteer to do community work and so the response is not always immediate. They probably need to work a little bit on responsiveness. They were here when they said they would come out. They were very professional.

Jeff, the owner, was really knowledgeable and told us a good plan of what they were going to do. He sent out a crew to do it on a Friday of a holiday weekend. He wasn't with his crew and they did not follow his instructions. They just wanted an early weekend. We were displeased with that. Jeff came out and reevaluated it and redid the work himself so that the drains worked. We were disappointed at first, but in the end, we were satisfied.

After a couple of weeks of emails and a week or so delay in the scheduling, SideSlope was able to do the installation. All went well, and Jeff even came back shortly after the installation when we determined (after another rainfall) that additional rip rap was needed. We would definitely hire SideSlope again.

Jeff was great to work with. He got the work done in 1 day. Everything went well and we are looking at having some other things done at a later time. I would recommend him for any of the jobs. Very easy to work with.

Jeff was great. Firstly, he was easy to contact via email, was very punctual to our meeting, and very quickly got me an estimate. I was on a tight time frame and he fit me in quickly. Once on site, Jeff and Daryl did a great job of working around my existing irrigation system, plants, and utility cords to successfully install the drains without damaging anything in the yard. Shortly after installation, we got a huge rain storm, and the driveway drain handled all the water with no problem. I got 3 total quotes on this job. One was for $1,500; Jeff and another were both around $1,100. I went with Jeff because he was easier to deal with and more professional than the other company at a similar price point. I would use him again for any drainage project.
