Drainage & Erosion Solutions (DES) is an award-winning design-build firm specializing in diagnosing and resolving drainage and erosion issues for residential and commercial properties. With both engineering and contracting divisions, we deliver professionally engineered solutions that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing. Our team is composed of dedicated, full-time professionals known for their technical expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to exceptional customer service. All consultations, assessments, and installations are performed by licensed experts—including soils engineers and landscape and drainage system designers—who bring decades of combined experience in design and construction. Clients trust DES for our reliability and results, leading to a strong referral-based business and consistently high rankings on contractor-rating platforms.

""After 15 years of enduring water and flooding damage to our yard and the foundation of our house, and after trying various 'solutions' from well-intentioned landscapers that never truly resolved the issues, we ultimately decided to engage Drainage and Erosion Solutions. We required comprehensive flood control and damage mitigation, and their expert team skillfully implemented swales, dry creeks, catch basins, and channel drains in areas where water management was critical. They also replaced a water-damaged window well, removed a flagstone patio to install drain basins and drainage pipes, and flawlessly reinstalled it. The supervisor and crew displayed remarkable knowledge, professionalism, and an unwavering commitment to detail throughout the entire project. This system has been operational for several months now, and even during the most intense rainfall, which historically led to road flooding, my house and foundation remain dry. We enthusiastically endorse this company without reservation.""

Additional DBA - JCF Inc .

"Jimmy showed up to my home during a time when my thermostat was not working. That issue was fixed. He sold me a services contract and told me when he returned to services the units, he will cover the pipes outdoors. I purchased the contract for twice per year maintenance. I scheduled with him for a specific date. Appointment was confirmed but Jimmy did not show. When I called, he it appears that he forgot my appointment and he rescheduled saying he could not work in the rain. He rescheduled for a few days after and one of his workers showed up (Carlos). The guy showed up looking like he was someone who does not want to work and unprepared. So, I asked him if he has filters and he said know. Jimmy's workman did not bring filter, so I offered him filters I had stored. I asked him if he bought things to cover the pipes at the back, he said no. I called and left a message for Jimmy. Carlos was so rude and unprofessional. I was so scared of him and the way he was behaving. Carlos then said he would NOT do any service. IT WAS A WASTE OF MY TIME. He did return my money. BUT I will not recommend him. Will NOT use him again. As woman I will not hire again. Customer services was poor, reliability and punctuality poor."

"Courteous, Professional, and Knowledgeable HVAC Installer - Needed to replace a 25+ year old HVAC system in the coldest months of the year and SwiftPro was the right choice. I live in a condo with a tricky indoor/outdoor HVAC set-up. Tyler worked with me to ensure I had the right system that 'fit' in the area left after removing the old system. Workers were completely professional and knowledgeable during installation and dare I say - courteous. Installation was supposed to be same-day, but one part was unavailable at the time. Tyler and his staff hunted across the local area for the part and even sent an employee out to buy a space heater to spare me from the below-20 degree night. Part came in next day and installation was complete. Very satisfied with the outcome of the project."

"Everything went very smoothly. Sam, the plumber, and is highly professional and knowledgeable. He replaced 3 faucets, 2 sink plugs, two valves, and two supply lines. Sam inspected the p traps, and he added adhesive where it was necessary. Sam also took a look at my two year old hot water heater, and he assessed my water supply to this unit. We discussed performing a complete drain, and check of the components of the heater at a later date. Sam also advised me that a toilet in the basement should be replaced with a more updated commode. We rarely use this toilet, but it's 35 years old. I felt comfortable speaking with Sam. I did not sense he was doing a sales pitch."

"I contacted FH Furr because my HVAC ( a Trane XV80) which is less than 5 years old had stopped working. Specifically, the indoor unit would not blow; the compressor worked just fine and was producing cold air. The technician, Jarib Badia, arrived at 10 AM and told me that the unit had a defective blower motor that was likely damaged by a power surge and that Trane would not cover the replacement because it was an Act of God. He then said I needed to spend 3000 dollars on a new motor. I reluctantly agreed to the repair because I needed the HVAC fixed even though the technician’s hypothesis that a power surge caused the damage appeared to lack any evidence. Nevertheless, the technician proceeded to spend 10 HOURS trying to fix the HVAC, even after he replaced the supposedly damaged blower motor. At the end of the day, he admitted that he didn’t have the unit completely fixed but that he was able to get the unit to cycle on low speed. He said he would need additional parts in the AM to completely fix it but that the unit was properly cycling. Nothing could be farther from the truth. After he left at 7:45 PM, I noticed that the HVAC blower motor was not turning off, even when the compressor shut off after the thermostat reached proper temperature. I turned the system to the “off” setting in hopes of getting the blower motor to shut off. This did not work. I now had an HVAC with a constant on blower motor. The only way to shut off the blower motor was to turn off the entire system at the circuit breaker. I immediately called FH Furr to tell them that their technician had totally botched the repair after charging me 3700 dollars and wasting 10 hours of my day. I was told that they could not send a technician until the morning and that a service manager would call me. I have yet to receive that phone call. So I now have an HVAC that is in worse than when the day started and I am out 3700 dollars. I need FH Furr to fix their botched repair or issue a refund."

Boiler repairs FAQs

The average cost to install a new water heater is around $1,300, but you can expect to pay between $875 and $1,750, depending on the kind of water heater, the size of the unit, and the professional chosen to complete the work. Tankless water heaters can push your price higher, as installation is more complicated, with prices as high as $3,500. The location and accessibility of your water heater will play a role in the project cost, as those sitting in tight spaces like a crawl space will drive up your labor costs.

It is very difficult and dangerous to install your own water heater, so we strongly recommend against tackling this as a DIY project. Not only will you need to wire your water heater, but you’ll also need to connect plumbing to the intake and outlet. Sweating copper pipes and connecting wiring properly are skills most DIYers don’t have, and even if you do feel confident you can do it, working with water and electricity always leaves the potential for electrocution. Hiring a local water heater installer is well worth the investment.

The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350
