    I found Drainage and Erosion Solutions through the Fairfax County Best Picks report and other reviews. My house was built in 1948 and my husband and I bought it last April. A week before Christmas our finished basement was completely flooded. We called in a professional company to dry it out. But it wasnt clear where all of the water was coming from. A few weeks later it flooded a second time. Now it was literally a race against time to waterproof the basement. I reached out to Drainage & Erosion Solutions and talked to the owner David. He came out the next day to look at the problem. He sent over a plan the next day. Originally, they couldnt make it until the end of January but knowing how desperate I was he fit me in a few days later. His crew worked through the freezing temperatures, snow and long days. They put in 2 sump pumps, new window wells, ran the pipes from the gutters underground away from the houseand a french drain in my back patio. The work is amazing. Im sharing pictures of my basement and yard. Before my basement was torn up and flooded and they had to dig up the yard to run the pipes! As you can see after it looks amazing and it works. I have to give a shout out to Gerardo, Rogelio and Jessica the office manager for their hard and professional work. Its rare you find a company that does great work, communicates and treats you like someone they know. Thank you everyone.

    I’m posting now almost two months after the completion of the backyard work we hired D&E to do. It is a rainy day and my children are actually able to play in our yard! We could not be happier with the work David and his team did for us. They came and discussed our issues, helped us fully identify the sources of our problems and designed a solution that has really worked. They stayed true to their estimate and timeline. I would recommend them to anyone in Alexandria where our water issues can be so complex! I have pictures but I’m not sure how to post them!

    Outstanding value and quality work. They showed up when they said they would and they dealt with surprises during our project quickly and with no hassle. The workers were dedicated, polite, and careful. No hesitation in recommending them.

    If youre looking for quality work for a good value, look no further. From Jessica in the office, to David and Donaldo - everyone we worked with from DES was top-notch. Out of four estimates we received, DES was right in the middle from a cost perspective. The work was scheduled quickly and completed in 6 consecutive days (with the crew having Friday off). The DES crew was courteous, professional, and always took the time to answer my questions as the job was underway. They didnt leave the final day until everything looked perfect. When unexpected issues arose during the job, David went out of his way to discuss potential solutions. I have already recommended DES to neighbors and will continue to do so. A sincere thank you to everyone at DES!

    Our sump pump was running every 30 seconds during a heavy rain and even in a medium rain itd be going on and off all day. We started to have water seeping into the basement foundation from the walls.I was referred to Drainage and Erosion Solutions by a very trusted Windows/Siding Contractor so I decided to give them a call.They came out right away, everything was smooth, they were always polite and professional and their quote for the job was very competitive. (I always get 3 quotes for any contracting work.)They installed grating for driveway runoff and connected all gutter downspouts to underground piping to lead water away from foundation.Since theyve come out for the work, there has been NO MORE WATER in basement and the sump pump only comes on during HEAVY rains and even then just a few times a DAY.A few months later I called David, their Operations Manager, because I didnt like where the water was exiting the pipes, sort of pooling in grass. Hes a stand-up guy and understood my concerns. The result, Drainage and Erosion Solutions came out to extend the pipes a few feet further to address this concern, free of charge and their crew came out immediately.Heres the thing. When you call, they answer. They really stand behind their work and it shows. Will recommend them to friends/family/neighbors with ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE everyone will be as satisfied as me.

    We just had Drainage & Erosion Solutons solve several drainage issues we were having in our backyard, and we couldnt possibly be happier. They were prompt, professional, and did an incredible job of cleaning up afterward so that you can barely tell they did anything. Robert sent three crews to handle our job to ensure it got done ahead of bad weather coming and completed it in ONE day instead of the two they originally scheduled. As I said, we couldnt possibly be happier.

    Davids crew did a phenomenal job solving our erosion problem and creating two beautiful gathering areas--a patio and a fire pit. A special shout-out to Gerardo and Arselio for their superior project management and craftsmanship. This is the third project Drainage and Erosion Solutions they have done for us. Like the last two, their work was outstanding. If we have a fourth project, we will definitely hire them again.

    Prompt professional service at a very reasonable cost. Fixed drainage issues to prevent basement moisture, and reinforce a sidewalk in danger of collapsing. I am so happy with the results that went beyond my expectations and I am anxious to have them work on the side and back or my yard. No doubt that they have added to the curb appeal and value of my home. I worked directly with Dave who is great. These guys are the best, and I highly recommend their work.

    This company did work for us last August and I waited to put up a review until I could see how its work held up. We had water seeping into our basement when there were major downpours and had talked to various companies about work to resolve this issue. We received several proposals, which varied in price and methods. We went with Drainage & Erosion, which had proposed a less extensive and expensive approach that took into account the topography of our property--replacing one window well and raising the bricks on another. After numerous heavy rains and snow this winter, Im happy to say we havent had further water. The company and its crew were very professional, prompt and responsive as well.

    After a couple of heavy rains, we had water leakage in our basement. David from D&E explained the likely cause, which was a huge cavity underneath the walkup stairway. He explained the process to fix the issue, as well as walking us through some aesthetic upgrades with stone walkways. The entire process was seamless - from the responsiveness, scheduling with the office, and the professional work that was done. The quality of the work done was evident throughout the project and the price was fair. Would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend to a friend!

    I wanted to take a moment and recognize an amazing team! I had Drainage & Erosion Solutions put in a 100 foot swale recently. I had high hopes due to my own thoughts and initial conversations with Rick Wrieden one of their expert project managers. Youll find him extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Victor, their foreman, and team exceeded every expectation! They not only put in something very functional but also aesthetically beautiful. They are true craftsman! They walked me through what they were doing and answered any questions I had with thoughtful in depth answers. I highly recommend using Drainage & Erosion Solutions! They make it easy! From design to execution. You get a lot of value for your money and they make quick work of it.sincerely,Ronald McGrathCEO

    After having our finished basement flood twice due to the amount of water that would enter and remain on our property following heavy rainstorms, we contacted Drainage & Erosion Solutions. We met with David who promptly came to our residence, assessed our situation, and discussed our options. Shortly after, we were sent a detailed proposal outlining the exact work to be done. After regrading areas of our yard and house perimeter, extending pipes and downspouts, and adding creek beds to our property, we rarely heard our sump pump turn on during the next heavy rainfalls! Our problems were solved with work that was guaranteed at a price we were comfortable with and after seeing the quality of work that was completed, our money was well spent! The initial job was scheduled to last only a couple of days, but we were so impressed by the work being done that we also had Drainage & Erosion Solutions design and install a new patio in our backyard. The crew of men involved in our projects demonstrated not only professionalism and efficiency, but pride in their work. The attention to detail was phenomenal. We highly recommended Drainage & Erosion Solutions and plan on using their services in the future!

    We hired Drainage and Erosion Solutions after a water intrusion event in our basement. They provided multiple solutions to improve the drainage on our home and get water away from our house. They arrived when they said they would and did the work within the time they estimated. We havent had any issues since. We had a small adjustment needed, and Jesse and Rogelio did an amazing job at not only responding to our request but making the adjustment that day. Much appreciate the professionalism and response.

    We have used Drainage and Erosion Solutions a few times. They do excellent work. The employees are top notch. They also stand by their work and go above and beyond to make sure you get what you paid for during the work but also after the work is done.

  • Review 15 (2023-08-12 - Rating: 5)

    The battery on our sump pump was failing last week, the same day a big storm was coming through. We were out of town and I called to ask them to come out ASAP to replace the battery and make sure the unit was working. Even though we didnt have an appointment, they came out the same day and got the work done to make sure our basement didnt flood. I couldnt be more appreciative of their responsiveness.

    We worked with Jesse and Victor to redo our backyard, which involved grading, sodding, reconfiguring the flower beds, and installing a stone walkway and French drain. It was a huge job, but was finished on time, on budget and the final result is incredible. We have a brand new backyard that looks beautiful and completely meets our familys needs. Jesse and Victor were easy to work with, professional, and brought a valued perspective to the work.

  • Review 17 (2020-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Last month we had Drainage and Erosion Solutions install french drains, a couple catch basins, and tie in all our downspouts to an underground piping. It was all run out to the street and into the storm drain. Not only did they perform stellar work but they were extremely professional and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Greg took the time to explain what he was doing, how he was going to do it, why it would help, and what assurances and guarantees the company provided. We had severe drainage problems in our back yard for years and they were all wiped away in two days work by their team. We had a sump pump that would pump water every 15-20 minutes and now hours will pass before kicking on. Let that be a testament to how effective and efficient their work ended up being. Not only that but we used to have to wait days after rain in order to mow our back yard.....Now I can mow a couple hours after a rain. I cant speak highly enough about Greg, his team, and the work they performed. I would have ZERO hesitation recommending them again. I rarely write reviews but I felt their work was so well handled that I was compelled to share my experience. My family and I are pleased to have a backyard that we can use.

    DE&S did an outstanding job for us by installing a 200’ dry creek bed/swale and solving other drainage issues as well. Amazingly, they completed all the work in only two days! This was a very labor-intensive project as the crew not only dug out the entire creek bed, but then they laid all of the stones in it by hand as well.Thanks to David and his excellent crew everything went very smoothly, and they were extremely neat and professional.We highly recommend them!

  • Review 19 (2021-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    David Arias and his crew did an amazing job helping us with our water/seepage problems in our Falls Church home. They even dug the trenches for our French drain about 200 feet longer than what was included in our original quote — because it was needed and they just wanted to do whatever they could to help fix our problem..The crew was always on time, clean and honestly- you’d never know there was work done in our yard as they somehow managed to keep the grass in tact.Great company! Great employees! Highly recommend them.

  • Review 20 (2021-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    We had a problem with water building up in our backyard when it rained and the threat of mosquitoes lingering, the damage to our lawn and the possible threat of the flooding damaging and lifting our in-ground pool, I looked for an answer. I searched the next door site, saw an ad for DES. I read reviews and had them come out to do an estimate. They explained exactly what they could and would do and the estimate was pricey but fair for the amount of work that had to be done. It took them a day to complete the work. Three months since the installation and no more water build-up, the drains are working perfectly and I can go back to enjoying my backyard, and my lawn is returning back to normal. I am a very happy customer and would recommend their services.

  • Review 21 (2019-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    We knew we had a problem... the house across the street is a good fifteen feet above ours so we knew that the elevation of the neighborhood was working against us. A damp basement and some cracks along the front walls below grade had been there for years however when we started noticing structural issues we knew we couldnt put it off.We spoke to at least a half dozen contractors and basement experts. Each had different ideas on how to fix different problems. Of course, they all said that the areas they couldnt fix were not problems. One firm, D&ES, took a lot of time to evaluate all of the problems and came with comprehensive solution to everything. They ended digging out the entire front and sides of the house to waterproof the walls and install new drain tile to ensure water doesnt get in. They also brought in a contractor that they work with to replace our old asphalt driveway and even applied structural polymers to fix a cracked cement beam that had sagged and cracked.Work was done relatively quickly. I was amazed at the number of folks who came out and while it was a swarm of activity, it was organized, efficient, and quick.We also selected them because of the warranty and the fact that they stood behind all of the work. They have come back after the fact and helped us with minor issues that have cropped up which is also great to have a local company do that.Since we have had the work done, we have been able to use our carport again, have noticed a much drier basement, and the walls that had been starting to bow have corrected themselves. All of the items on our checklist of goals.

  • Review 22 (2019-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    We used D&ES to do some exterior foundation waterproofing, extension of downspouts, minor re-grading, and installation of a French drain catch. We had a great experience with them, would use them again, and have recommended them to our neighbors.It has only been a month, but it appears to have fixed the issue as intended. I am no longer nervous when there is a forecast of heavy rain, or feel the need to run out of work to see if it will flood. David was competent, thorough, and straightforward; no hidden fees or work order changes.For background, we talked to several vendors, but choose D&ES because they were cost competitive and the only ones that were able to not just waterproof, but regrade around the house to fix the underlying issue. Other vendors agreed it needed to be done, but did not do it themselves.Scheduling was straight forward and they showed up when they said they would. Some of the finer details were worked out the morning they began, which made me a little nervous, but the job was done professionally and in the time span they said.

  • Review 23 (2021-01-22 - Rating: 5)

    We have used Drainage and Erosion Solutions for several projects over the past 10 years. They have always found ways to fix new problems that were beyond our control in an area where the terrain around us changes over the years. Our last project a few years ago was beautifully and professionally done, and when a new situation forced us to call for help again, David Arias came out and immediately knew how to resolve it. He considered the work to be done as part of the warranty of the previous project even though the cause was unrelated. We were so pleased with the way he responded to us! We highly recommend Drainage and Erosion Solutions to creatively and expertly fix anyones water problems!

  • Review 24 (2019-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    Cant say enough good things about DES - worked with David Arias to diagnose numerous drainage and erosion issues around my property. I had one large (4 day) project to address my main concerns and then followed up with a smaller project to address some additional issues about 6 months later. Both were both managed well and completed on time/early and to my satisfaction. Overall I had drains sunk, a new sump pump installed, patio grading/new pavers installed, catch drains installed and additional exterior fixes (soil grading, rock beds, etc.) to best address multiple drainage concerns on my property. With all the heavy rain weve experienced, Ive had zero issues and will be a customer for life.

    After removing some concrete near the house to reduce storm water run-off several years ago, water has leaked into the corner of the basement during heavy rainstorms. We finally decided it needed to be repaired. David Arias from DES came to the house soon after I called. His assessment of the problem inspired confidence (and, unlike another company’s rep, he did not “mansplain”). We scheduled the work several weeks later. David’s crew arrived on time, was friendly, and worked efficiently, completing the work earlier than anticipated. We were very pleased with the entire process, and look forward to a leak-free basement the next time there is a deluge. We are also glad there’s a 20-year guarantee!

    This was our 2ne project with DES; with THE 1ST PROJECT being 4 years ago to design & install a decorative French-drain system along our side of the property line between us and our neighbor. Were extrememly please and confident with that project to this day, and DES was PHENOMENAL from 1st contact with Jesse and through each step of the process to the finished testing and meticulous clean-up! Jesses installation team at that time was just as diligent, neat, and focused when he wasnt here as they were when he was present! THIS 2ND PROJECT with Jesse was the exact same Phenomenal Experience, with Kimberly on-top of the finances with her VERY PROFESSIONAL front office management and clear and accurate billing and payment tracking, and with Hector as a very intelligent, knowledgeable site foreman who was well respected by his hard-working team! When they ran into challenges, Hector quickly identified and clearly & patiently explained potential alternative outstanding solutions that fit our specific situation with both the pros & cons of how each could work so that WE could confidently understand and decide what to do and how to best meet our unique concerns! Ive already recommended DES to my surrounding neighbors for any and all of their own drainage control needs!

    Drainage and Erosion solutions provides excellent solutions for water issues and their Manager David is very knowledgeable, personable and professional. Our property was being flooded from nearby homes on a higher level, which turned our yard into a lake, causing flooding into our garage and basement. D&E solutions came to the rescue by enlarging a swale to the rear of our property directing the water to a storage pipe, installing several catch drains in our yard and installing high quality sump pumps with 2 inch pipes. We used to not sleep whenever there was lots of rain in the forecast. Now we rest easy, Thank you Drainage and Erosion Solutions.

  • Review 28 (2020-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    David has done several jobs for us to date; all have been done on or before time, within budget and in a professional manner. DES’s guarantee puts me at ease, because, if it doesn’t work the first time, they will fix it, for free. Can’t get better than that. Recently David and his crew installed a drainage swale on our property and that of our neighbor. He came up with the best solution that met both of our expectations and completed the project in record time, all for a fair price. I confidently recommend DES to friends and neighbors with drainage issues.

  • Review 29 (2017-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    DES sealed three walls of our basement, stopped a water leak, and placed French drains in our backyard. Mark and David were easy to communicate with and returned our calls and emails in a timely fashion. When needed, they came to the house to speak to us in person. The DES work crew did an amazing job digging up our foundation and sealing the basement walls. After the work, the yard looked even better than it did prior to the repairs. We have had several big rains since the work and there has been no water in the basement. If needed, we would use DES again.

    Professional estimating and work crew did a tremendous job, even staying late to make sure work was completed on day promised. I now have a much more extensive drain field and took their recommendation for a second field to prevent hill erosion. The three-day project was done just as promised.Two years later, the company replaced drainage pipes under warranty with a revised installation. First class service.

    I was beyond thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with the job Drainage and Erosion solutions did. Robert came to my home, first off.. he walk the property BEFORE ringing the bell therefore once he came in he had already assessed my problem & designed a solution walking in the door. Everything we spoke about was exactly what was done in my yard. I had major swamp issues coming from my sump pump emptying standing water in my yard. Robert and his crew buried the pipe in the ground and ran it out to the street. They also ran 3 different drain spouts away from the house so the water wouldn’t just sit and create gullies near the foundation. I don’t know the names of the men & woman that completed the work but OUTSTANDING JOB 💯 If your having similar issues at your home, do yourself some justice and call Drainage and Erosion Solutions. Ask for Robert. You will not be disappointed.

    David helped to make a stressful and difficult situation with our basement an easier process with his professional attitude and his knowledge of just what was needed to remedy our issues. He explained clearly what needed to be done and there was no hard sell, he gave us time to think it over. When our neighbor was reluctant to do work on his property that would have been beneficial to both of us, David came up with an alternative that would work just as well.His crew arrived right on time and worked hard to complete the project in a timely manner. They were friendly, and answered any questions we had. It was evident this was not their first rodeo and that gave us confidence in our decision to go with Drainage and Erosion Solutions . When the work was complete, the yard and the landscaping looked even better than before. They worked with us on the replanting and took away shrubs that were no longer wanted and even went the extra mile to divide the hostas and liriope. They removed the old brick edging and put in a lovely river rock border around the entire area.This is the kind of work that you really never want to do, but working David and his crew was overall a great experience.

    Jesse, Donaldo, and their team did a superb job in solving our erosion and flooding property. They wasted no time in diving in to completely overhaul our serious drainage/flooding/eroded lawn that has been a problem for almost 17 years. No solutions done over the years had resolved the problem, until this team tackled it . They completed the job ahead of schedule and even added a few finishing touches that greatly enhanced the appearance of our yard and gardens. Even our neighbors were extremely impressed with their work, admiring the level of effort and professionalism of this team. Minutes after Jesse, Donaldo, and their team left, neighbors began coming over to admire the impressive job this team accomplished. Their price was extremely competitive and the team was friendly and explained the work they were doing as it progressed. If we ever need this type of work again, this is the only company were calling!

    We used D&ES to install a french drain around the rear and sides of the house, a footer drain system on the front of the house and downspout extensions to carry roof water away from the house. The work started as scheduled and was completed neatly and efficiently. So far everything is working very well. With heavy rain today there was water spilling over the roof gutter on the front of the house. Assuming the gutters/downspouts were clogged I called Jesse for a cutter company recommendation and he actually came by the house himself and remedied the problem which ended up being leaves clogging the downspout causing the water to backup. Even though the problem was not related to any work they performed Jesse handled it literally within hours of my call. THANK YOU JESSE!!!

    Robert Reckmeyer designed external waterproofing actions for his crew, led by Rugillio, to EXTERNALLY WATERPROOF my home. Specifically, via a ton of dirt shoveling, they exposed two of my intersecting foundation walls [where from inside my home it seemed water was penetrating the walls that had begun to show effloresence (white powder)]. Next, they sealed any cracks in the walls they saw, painted the walls with a water-repelling substance, covered the walls with a vapor barrier, installed underground piping to take water from gutters to the end of my property, and installed a subsurface french drain. Moreover, they did all of this by carefully removing bushes that were in the space that was undug and by keeping these bushes watered to ensure they would not die; and ultimately they returned the landscape back to its original status, helped by sprinkling a generous amount of fertilizer on the grass that at one point was under the mound of shoveled-out dirt. It truly amazes me how fastidious EVERY crew member was; but I assume this is because they were being led by the best of The Best: Mr. Robert Reckmeyer (Project Manager) and the crew foreman, Rugillio!

    They couldnt have done a better job. This is the second time weve used them - the first was in March for a basement wall that was cracked and leaking water into the house. They were punctual, clean and easy to work with on that project as well. This time they cleared out a large area of mulch under our deck and around it replacing it with stone, graded, created a creek bed, and put in french drains to help with water issues. David called the day before to confirm, and also that morning to let us know they were on their way. He went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with how the area would look, in addition to be functional. The crew was kind and considerate, and made sure the area was left better then they found it (they hung up hoses nicely, straightened stray items, and even leveled our planters that had nothing to do with the stone work they did). We couldnt be happier with the finished product and would highly recommend them.

    We booked work with Drainage and Erosion Solutions for our back yard, lower level yard which was basically, dirt and a small slab patio. We experienced a high level of professionalism and courtesy from the owner to crew, throughout the process. The work was done in the promised two days (with a rain day in between) and not only was the end result functional (we are in a flood zone) but, aesthetically beautiful. We wished we had done this years ago! Thank you, Mark and crew for great work.

    I had a great experience with Rick who sold me their services and also followed through with an excellent job. I had complex water problems with a houses being in the lowest spot in the neighborhood, and water was just accumulation in front of the walkout basement area. Rick was extremely accommodating and came up with great solutions. Because of the poor design of the backyard, it seemed impossible to get all of the water running away from the house, and when I called rick again with a new problem in the backyard, he came and created a redundant solution for me. Rick stood behind his work and ensured a 100% successful outcome and customer satisfactions. I would hire them again for all water problems in the future. Great company and Rick is a great leader.

    Rick (Drainage Consultant) and Herrados crew took great care of a challenging, 2200 sq ft area in our backyard for us. It required re-grading, installation of french drain, placement of river jack/river wash, building a paver entryway and addition of nearly 12 to 15 yards of soil amendments + seed & straw, all being done with attention to avoiding any future erosion issues. The large crew all worked very hard and were courteous with us thru the entire project. Afterwards, they cleaned up the property, driveway & street quite nicely. The front office staff were all very pleasant, which made scheduling the project and answering questions go really well. This was a good experience for us and I recommend hiring these professionals to all. Should the need arise for another project, We will be using this company again.

Moe and his foreman Herman and crew did a great job. They listened to my concerns and questions. Made suggestions along the way, and made adjustments to the plan during the process. I highly recommend E&D...

    Usually reserved on reviews, good or bad, I have to say D&ES were OUTSTANDING. At the bottom of a hill, with plenty of water problems, I was exhaustive in a contractor comparison. They were easily the most professional with the proposal. I was very pleased with 2 jobs. I have 2 more that are theirs to lose. Further, I do fluid flow problems for a living.

    We had recurrent flooding in our basement. We brought in a number of contractors to diagnose the problem. Most of them already knew what their solution would be (install a french drain!) before even looking at our house.From the very outset, Drainage & Erosion proved to be a very different sort of company.The kind that actually investigate to understand the problem. And that understand waterproofing in a way that few other waterproofing companies do. Focusing on the landscaping and water management even before it gets to your house has been a HUGE game changer for addressing our ongoing water issues. And unlike most of the other snake oil salesman we got quotes from, Drainage & Erosion really sought to identify the problem-and the source of the problem-before figuring out a solution.Our solution ended up being more extensive than just water management-we had to install a membrane around the entire perimeter of the house, which was a MASSIVE undertaking, involving digging down to our foundation (approx. 10) around the entire perimeter, patching holes in our foundation and waterproofing the entire thing before installing an external drainage system and sump pump.Months, and many heavy rains, later-our basement is bone dry. Something that was utterly unimaginable this summer.The project ended up taking longer than expected, but they were able to make EVERYTHING they had to alter to dig the perimeter-moving fences, going under decks, repaving a driveway-JUST LIKE IT WAS.FOLLOW UP NOTE: A few months after the install, my sump pump unexpected malfunctioned. Drainage & Erosion stands behind their work. They were at my house the next day, and fixed the problem over the weekend.Having water issues in your basement sucks. Figuring out what to do about it is daunting. I cant recommend Drainage & Erosion enough to help you through. Im glad we did.

    Drainage and erosion solutions was fantastic to work with. They did a phenomenal job with coming up with the most economical, as well as functional way to waterproof the sides of our home, and then create a pretty landscaped effect on the sides of our home incorporating a French drain rock, stepping stones and pathway. David was fantastic to work with on the negotiation of the project, and their pricing was very fair. David was very responsive and was here the day the job was kicked off to make sure that everything went as planned. Gerardo was the head guy for our job, and he also was fantastic to work with, and was willing to modify and make changes as we went along. They even threw in some additional elements at no cost. I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with this company and I highly recommend them for any outside job you need done. Ginny

    Drainage & Erosion Solutions has been taking care of our homes water problems for the last 12 years. Our home sits on the bottom of a hill which has created issues for us. The crew came out and redirected the drainage water to flow away from our home by redoing the landscaping and installing drainage pipes. This worked very well until a 11,000 square foot home was built at the top of the hill causing that homes water runoff to come right down the middle of our backyard. We called Drainage & Erosion again and they created a dry creek along the side of the property which prevented the water from entering our home. I was thrilled when it worked so well when we had 3.5 inches of rain in April. They have always been professional and done a very neat job of replacing sod, etc.

    Dave returned my call the same day. After hearing about the problem, recommended going with a plumber to repair a broken discharge pipe. I appreciate that he was willing to direct me to a less costly solution, even though it meant turning down business. Thanks.

    I highly recommend them. Our project was too small for them, but Rick still took the extra effort of surveying our yard, providing advice about how to fix our draining problem, and providing an estimate. I came away very impressed.

    With all the rain weve had lately, I was noticing that one of my down spouts was back filling! I didnt want the water up against my house so I called Drainage and Erosions Solutions for help. Once again Drainage and Erosions Solutions came through for me!!! Re-routing down spouts and cleaning them out!!! Thank you David and Team!!!!

    We had an erosion problem along the 200-foot-long back edge of our community swimming pool (Old Keene Mill Swim & Racquet Club). D & E Solutions provided a fast and professional fix to our problem by breaking up and removing old concrete and installing a french drain with river rocks along the entire length of the pool. They even re-purposed the old concrete to make the culverts instead of charging us for removal. The end product looks great!

  • Review 54 (2016-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Love them. They fixed our yard so that the water flows away from the house but it is attractive and actually improves the yards appearance. I was afraid we would end up with an ugly ditch (which was better than a flooded basement) but Grant heard my concerns and they did a great job.

  • Review 55 (2017-01-26 - Rating: 5)

    They did a great job at my remodeled house, including grading, waterproofing a wall, a french drain, and drainage. Even as the project required additional work, they stayed withing the initial budget.My basement dropped to 30% humidity. I need to use a humidifier now.

    We had a great experience with Drainage & Erosion Solutions. The work was done on-time & on-budget. Everyone we dealt with from the company was friendly & professional. We would definitely hire them again!

  • Review 58 (2017-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    EXCELLENT work and I am EXTREMELY SATISFIED! I am known to be very meticulous and refuse to settle for imperfections. Drainage and Erosion Solutions delivered exceptional results beyond my expectations. David and his foreman, Arsenio and Gerald, are very knowledgeable, patient, attentive to customer requirements, and take a lot of pride in their work. Everyone, including the crew, are highly professional and polite.Although the job was relatively small in comparison to some of the larger jobs they manage, I had a lot of detailed and challenging work for them to complete which involved correcting a major drainage issue around my house coupled with installing a patio, installing a backup sump pump system, filling a huge empty cavity under my walkout steps from the basement, fixing foundation cracks, and trimming an overgrown tree. My major concern (and challenge) was correctly the standing water around my house which caused my sump pump to run every 30 to 45 seconds during a rainy day and every three to five minutes a day after the rain ceases. Considering the work was completed last week, I will follow up after a few heavy rain falls.I have additional projects planned for the future and I will use Drainage and Erosion Solutions again. They have my highest recommendation!

    Great to work with - provide very detailed contract with warranty information. Have come out twice under warranty to rework some problem areas and have done so quickly. Would recommend to anyone who has flooded areas in their lawn or a flooding basement!

    David Arias, Matt Cocito, Arsellio, and team did superb work on a difficult slope. Not only were they on time, they kept me informed every step of the way. Their suggested solutions were right on the mark. Even with lots of digging in mud, the area afterwards was neat, clean, and re-sodded. Great work.

    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.

    Work done per the proposal, on time, and on budget. They even threw in a few extras that were not on the original quote.

  • Review 69 (2021-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    David and his team were very efficient, communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. The price is very reasonable considering the quality of the work. They completely transformed my parents backyard with updated drainage, a retaining wall, and solutions to prevent soil erosion and flooding in the basement. The best part is it looks as beautiful as it is functional and they completed the entire project ahead of schedule. I will be using them for my yard and will highly recommend them to everyone. I wish all companies took as much pride and integrity in their work as David does.

    Rarely have we found a company that is worthy of a five star rating. Drainage and Erosion Solutions is a magnificent company. Their employees are professional and proud of their work. They show up on time and have an admirable work ethic. Courteous and capable of flexibility if asked to make changes. David has built a terrific team. In nearly 100 degree heat the team worked hard to finish the job. Never a complaint! We were extremely pleased with everything Drainage and Erosion Solutions did for us. From the day they arrived we felt they were always trying to do their very best to solve our problems. Without reservations we highly recommend this tremendous company. You will not be disappointed!!!!

    I had some significant drainage issues in my backyard. DES provided me with an expert analysis of what needed to be done and then executed on that plan. It looks great!

  • Review 73 (2020-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    Drainage and Erosion Solutions is one of the most conscientious businesses I have dealt with. They came up with a reasonably-priced solution and were responsive, timely, efficient, and comprehensive in their work. Jessie who provided specific recommendations for a solution, an estimate, and the overall management handled the entire process very well. Victor, the foreman, did an excellent job in getting the work done efficiently. They also performed extra work at no charge, including cleaning out a couple of drains that had clogged in the back yard. And all this accompanied by a 5-year guarantee. Good work and a solid guarantee -- I highly recommend Drainage and Erosion Solutions.

    Over the course of 2 full days, a crew of 4-6 workers from D&ES installed French drains on both left and right of my house. They tied four roof gutter drains to additional underground pipes parallel to the French drains. All the tubes emptied into large liriope beds on the downhill slope in the front of the house. They graded the soil and placed rocks around the exposed perimeter of the house to prevent water accumulation. They installed a drain system on the back right corner to capture overflow from the back porch. The work was covered with small stones and with large stepping stones to define a walking path. They saved all of my shrub and perennial plantings around the house and reinstalled some in the space remaining. I was very pleased with the work, and it looks beautiful. The overall cost was about $12K.

  • Review 75 (2020-07-21 - Rating: 5)

    Our experience with Drainage & Erosion Solutions was excellent from beginning to end. We had an erosion problem with our sloped back yard and a gully in our back garden. Jesse came out to the house and described what they could do to solve the problem. He gave us a quote for a couple of different options. We asked him to come back out to the house a second time to clarify the work to be done and discuss an alternative solution to our erosion issue. They installed a french drain, catch basins, and creatively laid down river rock through our landscaped garden. They are an extremely professional company and we appreciated the great communication between Jesse, their office, and us. The crew was experienced and did the work as promised. Jesse came out for the final inspection to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction.

    Very professional crew with great attention to detail. They left my yard cleaner than they found it, despite bringing in lots of equipment and supplies through the side yard, which was impressive. Definitely recommend.

  • Review 77 (2016-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Great company. Timely consult and estimate. Their quote beat all local competitors. The work crew is great and their management was fantastic at dealing with baseless complaints from what the neighborhood knows as a special neighbor. The crew did a great job installing a dry creek bed, underground downspout and sump pump piping. Their cleanup was fantastic. When they realized there was a problem with the concrete used to run discharge pipes through the curb, they came back out and redid the discharge pipes. What put them over the top was honoring their quote, even through the estimated labor and fill dirt was less than what was ultimately needed. Highly recommended.

    Had my third interaction in three years with D&E Solutions today. The crew has only gotten better with time. Jeff Showers showed up on time, kept socially distant, diagnosed the issue, and had already asked a technician to meet us at the house. Fixed the issue on the spot.Quality through out. Thank you.
