Get matched with top drain pipe installers in Mount Vernon, VA

"I came home from work to find our 40-gallon water heater was not working (it was working that morning). The pilot was out and I could not get it re-lit (I do know how to light a pilot) After checking a number of companies on Angie's List, I contacted DB's Plumbing and Drain. Although it was almost 6pm, a very nice person answered the phone and I explained my dilemma. I was told they could send someone that night but would have to charge an after-hours rate. I was reasonably certain what was wrong would not be a simple fix like re-lighting a pilot so scheduled a visit for the following morning between 10 am and 12 noon. Michael D arrived shortly after 10 am. He was very courteous, polite and professional. Before entering my home, he donned a pair of shoe covers which was kept on as long as he was in the house. He diagnosed the problem as being a failed main burner system. As the water heater was 14-years-old, I weighed the cost of replacing just the main burner system on such an old unit against replacing the unit itself. I opted for the water heater replacement. Michael setup the old unit to drain while he went to retrieve the new one from their warehouse which took him about 45 minutes. Upon his return, he removed the old unit and cleaned up the area. He then cut back the existing copper lines to eliminate the numerous soldered couplings from the previous homeowner's repairs. He installed new copper pipes including a new quarter turn shut-off valve. A catch pan was placed and the water heater setup in it. Up reconnecting the gas line, he installed a sediment trap or drip leg (it did not have one previously) which catches sediment sometimes present in natural gas. After bringing the system online, Michael checked the gas line connections for leaks using a detection monitor. The installation was clean and neat and it is obvious Michael is conscientious about his work. Always interested in how things in my home work, Michael was very gracious in answering my questions regarding the installation. I am very happy with the install.and would like to thank Michael for his professionalism and the education."

"On time and on budget.  This is the third remodel job in our home by Prince William Plumbing and we couldn't be more satisfied.

"None of the companys do the kind of Storm channe system installation work I need. I found a potential resourse by searching for a Mason Contractor on the internet."

"Very well. The pipe had a pinhole leak in a copper elbow joint and required cutting the pipe, in a confined space, to drain standing water. G**** Miranda did a remarkable job repairing the pipe and an adjacent supply pipe I elected to have repaired in case its joint might leak. Workmanship was exceptional, potential mess and additional Sheetrock damage was minimized, G**** Miranda worked tirelessly for 3 hours and produced a satisfactory repair."

"We got 5 estimates from companies regarding a leak in our office and adjoining storage unit. This was the only company that accurately pinpointed the problem , which was a leak coming from gaps surrounding our electrical conduit pipe. Other companies had quoted us 6400$ to dig up the front yard and redo everything from the outside. Others wanted to dig up the inside. I’m so glad Mike explained everything to me clearly- and it all came down to common sense. These guys found the exact spot where the leak was coming from, and knew how to fix it. He also suggested replacing our sump pump because it was the original, and mud was starting to back up. He suggested we do this as it would be tragic to fix one problem and have another occur (and subsequent flooding) that could have been prevented. There was a minor connectivity issue with the sump pump a couple weeks later but I called at 9 am, the man who took the call put it in as an emergency because of some water splashing out and the problem was fixed by 11 the same day. Great responsiveness and customer service. I feel confident in my decision to choose this company, and would recommend them to others."

"We received quotes from four companies - Drainage & Erosion Solutions' pricing was fair and the quality of their work & our experience with them seemed too good to be true. So much so that I've waited for nine months to post a review to be sure the drains they installed addressed the flooding issue. The project included installing five catch basin drains, over 70 feet of 4 inch drain pipe and another 70 feet of six inch drain pipes as well as replanting flower beds, regarding several areas, and installing river rock in two of the drainage beds. The drains have performed exceptionally well. What used to be a river forming on one side of our house, now quickly drains into five catch basin drains they installed. In addition, they were very concerned with aesthetics and made the drain areas look wonderful. They were prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend them. Also, and perhaps most importantly, their recommended solution addressed the root cause of our flooding issues. Two of the other companies we received quotes from accepted that water would get into our crawlspace as a premise. Drainage and Erosion Solutions actually made sure that wouldn't happen in the future."

"Worked with Jason Ruffner who provided the estimate. The estimate was in line with other estimates we received from other contractors. I thought Jason was very professional and at first actually didn't think we needed to do the major project because it was apparent there was water leaking from the sump pump evacuation pipe. I thought it showed a high level of intellectual integrity for Jason to suggest we replace the pipe first and see if that solves the problem. I had the pipe replaced and was still having water issues. After a very heavy rain, it was very apparent where the water was coming in. We were able to schedule a appointment for the project and were fortunate there were a couple of cancellations so our project actually was moved up about a month. The guys came timely, worked extremely hard and did a very professional job. We are very satisfied with the result and enthusiastically refer AAAction Waterproofing."

"We hired Kozan Construction to do some major plumbing construction work moving the plumbing for a washing machine and utility sink and reworking the plumbing for a bathroom sink. They provided a fair bid and so we hired them and were told the project would take a week. Faruk was respectful and hard-working and would accommodate all of our requests to have pipes or the levers moved and straightened. Our main issue was scheduling, as he had a number of other plumbing emergencies that delayed our project and left us without laundry for two weeks. The work was good and done all up to code, so if you have some flexibility with your timeframe, or it s a emergency call then I definitely recommend. If not, just make sure you work out a schedule ahead of time so you know what to expect."

"Clifton Contracting does outstanding work. The drainage and water erosion solution installed by Clifton Contracting at our home gives us peace of mind, no matter how heavy the rainfall. After a neighbor on ground higher than us installed yard drains for his gutters that were directed at us, we were inundated with water every rain event. Since Clifton's drainage solution, we have no problems. Their work was efficient, professional and well worth the reasonable cost."

"Some context for the work... Our house was  a "flip" that was completed in June 2013 and we purchased in July 2013.  That winter we had water in the basement from the foundation walls leaking and the sump pump catch areas not covering the entire perimeter of the basement.  The company who flipped the house extended the sump pump area and split the cost with us, despite the 1-year warranty in DC which states they should have covered it all.  6 months later, still within the 1 year warranty time frame, the water was coming in through a different area that they did not cover.  This time, the company had a drainage company do an assessment and, again, split the cost of the repairs.
Here we are a year later and again water came in the basement after it rained for a week. I had the same company who came out last year come back and provide another estimate...$17,000, $12,500 of which was excavation! No, thank you!
This is where MA Landscaping and Design comes in... We saw a crew completing some work down the street and got their business card to call for an evaluation and estimate.  There was a minor issue that the scheduled time of the estimate where the original scheduled evaluator would not be able to make it out to our house, instead of cancelling and rescheduling, the owner, Lili, came out and did the estimate for us that day.  Lili sent us the estimate for raising the patio and installing a drain underneath, putting jack stones along our driveway, putting a french drain system along the side of our house and some other minor edging and lawn maintenance.  She told us that if we accepted the estimate that day she could have a crew out to the house the next day.  We were satisfied with the estimate for $3,150 and immediately accepted. The crew was back the next day and had completed the majority of the digging and preparing the area for the french drain, raising the patio and adding the jack stones.  The following day it rained so the crew could not complete the project, but they were at our house the following morning and finished all the work by 4 pm.  When we spoke to Lili after the work was completed, she told us that there was a hole in the foundation underneath the work that the other company had previously completed that was basically feeding water to our basement. She said that the crew got some additional concrete and filled the hole and ensure there was not an opening for water to go into the basement. 
The crew was very thorough and completed everything exactly as stated in the estimate, plus some.  The crew, mowed our lawn in both the back where the work was being completed and in the front.  The patio and drainage system is done perfectly and I almost want another torrential down pour just to validate the work they did. 
I have a lot of confidence in MA Landscape and Design and will definitely be using them for any future landscape needs!
