"[member name removed] has every reason to be upset with me. In 2008, due to health issues, I closed my business for a period and was not sure if I could resume in this field. We started back up in early 2009 and have been going strong ever since. I appoligize to everyone, including [member name removed], for not being available during that time. Past customers always get priority with me and I stand behind my guarantee no mater how long ago we did the work. I have reached out to [member name removed] and I hope she allows me to make amends. Most leaks are due to surface water. Once we identify the source of the leak, we can control the flow outside and stop the leak by grading and other measures. There is almost always a detectible reason why rain water is getting into a basement or crawlspace. I hope I am allowed the opportunity to run water tests, identify the source and correct the wet basement for [member name removed]. Matthew 703 759-7252"
The work went very, very well. The exterior grading & exterior drains definitely will take away any exterior water coming up to the house & the interior drain work went fabulously . . . you honestly can't tell, since we have carpeting, that they even did the work.
I would definitely use Custom Drainage again even though I think we will not need to - Matt's frankness & honesty and approach is something I was very comfortable with and I can easily recommend him to any friends with similar issues
We were impressed by the amount of time he spent really looking at all of the grading around the house and were even more impressed with the very detailed explanation (including drawings!) of the proposed work. He even came out BEFORE we had officially hired him to give us a "quick fix" because we were expecting heavy rains the next day and didn't want more water in the basement before the project started.
He completed the work in the amount of time he had estimated and always left the work space clean and organized at the end of the day.
We knew this wasn't going to be a cheap endeavor, but we have had absolutely NO water issues since Custom Drainage came out, which means we can now enjoy our basement again!
