Advantage Drainage

Founded 1982 • With Angi since January 2010

What sets Advantage Drainage apart? We solely provide drain service and have made it our specialty for the last 37+ years. Drainage is an unregulated business, this means that anyone— landscapers, plumbers, or sprinkler companies— can put a pipe in the ground and call it drainage. This becomes risky for the consumer. However, Advantage Drainage customers throughout Dallas and Fort Worth, know that our drain solutions stand apart as time-tested and proven. A large percentage of our business consists of redoing drainage work attempted by landscapers and sprinkler companies. Save yourself time, money, and frustration by contacting our team of experts to do the job right the first time. Advantage Drainage solutions integrate multiple layers of protection to stop flooding now and in the future. We have the specialized tools and equipment to deal with North Texas soils. We can access hard to reach areas— below ground level, preconstruction sites, underneath landscapes or buildings— to stop basement flooding, standing water, blocked drainage, etc., at its source. Our combination of experience, ingenuity, and specialized training cannot be beat. Let Advantage Drainage help you today! Please provide your phone number and address in the message center for the fastest response. Thank you!

Mike and his team came out and did an absolutely stellar job. From his initial walkthrough and estimate, to execution of the project, to completion/follow-up, everything was great. Mike and his team have very practical and keen eyes for what needs to be done to fix/add any drainage without overcomplication. Price was extremely reasonable and quality of work is superior. I would and will recommend Advantage Drainage to anyone who is looking for drainage work. You most certainly will not regret it! Thanks, Mike!

We were dealing with a drainage issue in our front yard that was worsening due to heavy rains and local construction. After calling Mike, he quickly came to our house, assessed the situation and designed a drainage solution for us. His team showed up to do the work exactly on the day he promised, and completed the job ahead of schedule. His crew took exceptional care to minimize the impact to our lawn by hand digging and filling the trench. After completion of the job you could barely tell the work was completed since it looked great. Most of all the system worked perfectly and completely eliminated the puddling we were experiencing. Mike amd his crew are true professionals who know their business and actually do what they commit to doing. I highly recommend them and greatly appreciate what they did to solve our drainage issue in a timely and professional manner.

Excellent! By far the best contractor I have ever worked with. Mike and crew corrected my drainage issues and then some! My pool always flooded with debris during heavy rains and it is no longer a problem. The crew was on-time every morning and worked very hard each day. I would never go anywhere else for drainage needs!

Responsive and low cost. A little hard to get a document that says what will be performed, for how much. It was raining when they installed the drain and it was quite a mess, but what can you do....they were literally digging in the mud!

We bought a 7 figure house in and added a mid 6 figure pool complex, only to learn that as a result of living downhill we had an underground river threatening out entire investment. After playing around with french drains and other simple measures we called in the owner, Mike of Advantage Drain. He played it straight with us, letting us know what it would take to save our property. It was not cheap, but his solution was commercial quality grade and what was needed. I marvel now every day at the elaborate solution he came up with. I would encourage anyone who is fearful of what water is doing to their investment to allow them to recommend the right solution. Great team., both technically and personally and a pleasure to work with them.

My 40+ year old house had woefully inadequate drainage in the front yard. The house sits somewhat below street level, and anytime there were heavy rains the water would gather up by the front door -- while one small drain tried to clear it out. There's lots of trees in my neighborhood and all the falling leaves, combined with the water, left my little drain unable to do its job very well. Previously I'd talked to a couple of plumbers about this, but I didn't like the solutions they proposed. A friend told me about Advantage Drainage and that's when I called them. Mike came out and figured out what I needed -- a drainage system that would keep the front of my house clear, with the water no longer creating big puddles by the front door. He and his guys were professional & friendly. Work was completed on time. And the price was very fair for the quality of the drainage system I got. I definitely recommend Advantage Drainage.

Initially it went very well. When I called for an appointment, Mike said he could come out that afternoon to see what was needed and provide a proposal. He arrived on time and after a thorough evaluation, he gave me a diagram and list of material he would used to solve the problem. The price of $8250.00 seemed fair and if it would solve the problem, it would be worth it. My main concern was that he wanted to run the drain up the slopping driveway and across approximately 100 feet of front yard to the frontage road. This would also go through a underground sprinkler system and past two grown trees with heavy roots. This would also entail tearing up part of the driveway and approximately 100 feet of established lawn. He estimated that it would take two to three days and we would have to park out cars on the street while the work was being done and the patched driveway was set. His scheduled would not permit him to do the work for about six weeks. I told him that I appreciated him coming out so quickly but would see if I could find someone that could do the work a little sooner. After several calls to other Angie's List companies, I found that they too were heavily scheduled and could not do the work any quicker. Since I still had concerns of having the water drained across the driveway and lawn instead of along the same path as the existing four inch drain which does not go across the driveway, I called and asked Mike to please come out at his convenience and again expressed my concern of the drain line he wanted to do. When I expressed my concern, he seemed upset and I got the "been doing this for over 40 years and know what I'm doing" statement but he agreed to come out in a few days to discuss my concern. THIS DO NOT HAPPEN and have not heard any more from him. Since then I have found someone else to work on the problem running the drain along the path of the existing drain and behind the garage and not across the driveway.
Description of Work
Resolve drainage problems that caused water to come into our garage during heavy rain storms. My driveway slopes down from the street toward the garage plus we live at the bottom of slopping terrain so we have runoff from the neighbors yards as well as our own plus from our driveway . I currently have a four inch drain near the garage that send the water behind the garage with the drain outlet in the back yard. Only when there is very heavy rain for an extended amount of time that this is not adequate to handle the runoff from the neighbors yard as well as our own do we get water in our garage and into a room behind the garage.

Advantage Drainage ,installing drainage for almost 40 years . Sorry you decided to get somebody else to do the work . The proposal presented to you would’ve solved all of your Drainage issues . Why would you install drainage and still have drainage issues ? Routing water to the rear is not going to eliminate the ponding water on the front driveway ,next to the entrance ,used for the house . AdvantageDrainage will never be in the Business of Not solving all known Drainage issues on a property .

Had some scheduling challenges, but otherwise they were fantastic. Michael did give us a break on the price due to the schedule slippage, so as far as I am concerned we're good to go. Crew worked hard, was tidy and professional. Added french drains and a number of other things.

The work was excellent. The crew showed up every day, on time and performed in a very professional manner. The clean-up after the installation was to my total satisfaction and I feel very strongly the job was done correctly and will solve my problem. The most important factor however, is that Advantage Drainage provided a solution to my problem. They understand drainage problems and proposal REAL solutions. That is really all I want out of a company, my problem fixed!

Amazing! There was constantly water draining out of our front yard from underground springs so it was always soaked. Advantage Drainage installed numerous drains and really did a fantastic job. The job was really big and took several days to do but at the end of each day they would completely finish the section they were working on. I imagined our yard would be completely torn up for the week they were there but they do such a good job finishing each area and cleaning after themselves. I’m really impressed! I would definitely, without a doubt recommend them!

Michael and his crew did a great job. Michael came over assessed my drainage needs and gave me my options. Installed several smaller drains and Inc. my gutters into the French drain as well. His crew was neat and tidy and replaced everything like it was before they started digging. Everything looks nice and leveled.

They did a very nice job and cosmetically looks great. On day one there was an issue and had to work with the crew to get it resolved. Had trouble getting ahold of Mike to resolve issue as I wish he was on-site to resolve without my intervention. That being said the price was fair and they take pride in their work. I would hire again.

Advantage Drainage installed my French drainage system about eight years ago. The sump pump died and had to be replaced. I called and Mr. Ellington was able to come out in about 3 days. He replaced the pump and the new pump is working well. Just like the original installation he completed the work promptly and professionally

Michael came out and developed a plan to solve a drainage problem along the side of our house. The team that came out was very professional and did everything they could to avoid existing plants. They were very careful with the sod the had to cut out and replaced it after they were done. Considering the extent of the work there was minimal impact on the yard and except for the obvious digging for the drain, you would never know they were there. We had a large storm come through a week later that dropped 3+ inches in two hours and the drain completely solved the drainage problem we had.
