Greg was a top notch professional from first home visit, assessing the problem and, better yet, presented a better solution than two of his competitors. His approach was equally effective, less invasive and less cost (with an exterior sump pump)! I’ve been in construction for forty years and always appreciate experience and a creative problem solver over just an order taker and bidder. I appreciate a professional process. Their process is thorough yet simple, organized, fast, on time and right on budget as proposed. Their staff, from front desk to site workers were great. With extensive digging, the yard and bed were left perfectly, hardly a trace they were there. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Now, we’ll see how we fare in the rainy season:)

I have asked Greg and his team to help with basement and downspout drainage problems on two separate properties. In each situation, Greg recommended sensible and practical solutions which were priced reasonably. Also, he stuck to his estimate, despite the fact that there seemed to be a bit of extra work to do. And the gravy - his team restored all of the plants and grass very carefully when they were done. I cant recommend this company highly enough.

Konnor and the team at Ability Plus Drainage will fix your ground water and basement leakage issues the first time.We have unsuccessfully used and wasted money with other waterproofing companies who were unable to handle our ground water issues.We brought in Ability Plus Drainage to fix our water issues that other companies couldnt handle. Konnor quickly and professionally assessed our situations and gave us detailed quotes. After signing up with Ability Plus Drainage, they were prompt, courteous, clean, and kept us informed how the projects proceeded. Once the jobs were completed, we have had no ground water issues anymore.Dont waste your time like we did. Call Ability Plus Drainage to get the job done right. Highly recommended

Extremely detailed, considerate, and professional team from the beginning estimate to the finished project. The drainage and waterproofing work completely solved our issue. I will continue to recommend Ability Plus to friends, colleagues, clients, and other contractors needing drainage and foundation work. I highly recommend Konnor and his team, without a doubt.

Fantastic company with a trustworthy team and good communication. These are the guys to go to in Portland for good honest landscaping work. I had a bad experience before hiring these guys, and it was a breathe of fresh air to be able to do some of the work myself and save $$ on my quote. Ability Drainage worked with me through my personal yard issues very patiently.

Konnor is the best! Ability Plus is an example of a small company with impeccable service from beginning to end, attention to detail, genuine desire to do a good job, and a professional attitude coupled with kindness. We had a driveway drain repaired/reinstalled and had gotten quotes for 2 times the amount that Ability Plus estimated. Ultimately we went with Konnor and Ability Plus because of Konnor’s authenticity and clear desire to do the best work possible for his customers.

Konnor was so helpful! He came by twice to help us figure out what was going on in our basement. His expertise, curiosity and creative troubleshooting led to a simple, easy fix. Brilliant! Thank you!

My home is at the low end of a slope and all water (rain and downspout runoff from uphill residences) collects at my foundation. Konner and his crew investigated and came up with a plan. The plan was to reroute the water via a french drain to a gravity fed drain and avoid the wear and tear on the existing sump pump. The crew was onsite for 3 days. All were pleasant to work with. Im very pleased with the finished project.

Konnor and the entire team at Ability Plus are amazing to work with. The work that Konnor and his team did was timely, professional and great quality. We are thankful to have found Ability Plus Drainage. I would highly recommend!

Ability Plus did a great job fixing up our crawlspace! When we purchased our home our inspection showed that we had major issues with water in the crawlspace. Ability Plus did a great job getting things back in working order and came highly recommended by our realtor. Our sump pump has been working well for over a year now and we’ve had other contractors go into the crawlspace and comment that things look nice down there. It wasn’t the cheapest quote we got but it was the most comprehensive and didn’t cut any corners.

I have worked with Ability Plus off and on for the last three years to maintain my basement water free. They are consistently responsive, prompt and knowledgeable. They have been extremely helpful and offered creative solutions to our drainage problems.

We have had two drainage projects done by Ability Plus Drainage Co. this year. Both projects were performed and competed profesionaly and on time. In both projects they considered all possible solutions including existing foundation drains and downspout performance. I would not hesitate to recommend them for anyone with a drainage problem.

Ability Plus Drainage waterproofed our foundation, installed a french drain, rebuilt our foundation drain and graded our landscape to direct water away from our house. Prior to hiring Ability Plus we received quotes from several contractors, but all of them were guessing why our basement was letting in water. Within 5 minutes of arriving, Greg had found one of the foundation cracks and was prescribing what would need to happen. Gregs knowledge gave us confidence that he knew what needed to change to keep water from coming into our house.The quality of their work was excellent, their crew was efficient and timely, and the results have been good. In other words, no news is great news!We are grateful a friend recommended Ability Plus - theyve did what had to be done and they did it well.

We were so pleased to have a referral to Greg Brimhall and Ability Plus Drainage. From the first meeting with Greg (when he came completely prepared having researched the reports and maps associated with our property) through to the camera/scoping work and the detailed correction and installation work, the entire crew was professional, knowledgeable, and clear communicators. Tito answered all my questions during the work, and did not show any annoyance at my need to look into all the holes and drains and photograph everything! (I am fascinated by whats below the surface :-). We are very happy with the work done.

Konner, Brian and the team were great to deal with, were responsive, showed up on time, explained their plan of attack, suggested several other options which we discussed, decided on some, no on others, all very reasonable.Id recommend them without hesitation.

When the basement flooded after yet another torrential downpour, it was time to do something. Who to call? Looked up names on the neighborhood list serve and contacted Konnor at Ability Plus. He came over, inspected the area and gave me two options, a cheaper one and a more expensive one, both of which were guaranteed to do the job. I went with the cheaper one. The crew came over, did some digging and added a sump pump, which would propel the water away from the house down into a drain. The job was completed. Then it rained. Oops. Water cascaded into the basement just as it had before. I thought to myself, I should have gone with the more expensive option. I called Konnor and he came over to take a look. Almost sheepishly, he said it appeared the sump pump had not been plugged in. I was thinking what am I going to do now? How much is this going to cost me, when Konnor said well handle it. The crew came out a second time, did some more digging and added a new sump pump. Then it rained again, and again water cascaded into the basement exactly as it had before. I called Konnor, uh, Konnor, its still coming in. I half expected him to say its your problem now. He didnt. He came over a third time and this time looked online to see what he could find out about the houses construction in 1906, and there it was. A big pipe going under the basement had been sawed off long ago and left uncapped. The old pipe would fill with water and leak into the basement. The crew jack hammered through the basements cement floor to get access to the pipe, ran some new tubes and did some more digging. When it was all put back together everything was perfect. No more water! To say these guys stand behind their work would be an understatement. It was the best customer service Ive ever experienced.

Ability Plus performed excellent work in addressing some drainage issues on our property. Good communication, showed up when they said they would, and performed the job as expected. We would use them again, but I hope we dont have to : )

Ability Drainage provided expert assessment and executed so efficiently on a solution for roof run off that was flooding my yard. Ten Stars!

Review 28 (2022-06-08 - Rating: 5)
On my home inspection some water was found under my house in the crawl space so we called Ability to give us a bid and ultimately we did hire them and they did a great job! The team was very respectful and on time. They cleaned up everything after. And their office crew is very responsive to questions. I will definitely use them again if needed.

We were very happy with Ability Drainage. They did an amazing job addressing our drainage issues by installing French drains, a beautiful riverbed and new wall. Greg was very attentive to our situation and followed up when needed immediately. Jose and Tito were extremely tidy, efficient and attentive to detail. We would highly recommend this company.

Fast and professional service at a fraction of the cost of the other bids we solicited. Glad to have our basement drainage problem solved with the least expensive and invasive solution.

From our first inquiry to the completion of our project, everyone in this company was responsive, helpful, friendly, and well-informed. The crew did impeccable work. We’re thrilled to finally have a professional solution in place for our leaky basement.

Review 35 (2018-11-29 - Rating: 5)
Fantastic work! We had rain and French drains installed, retaining wall and stairs built and slopes around the house re-graded to flow water away from the house — could not be happier with the results or process. Konnor was thorough with the pre-work and Tony and his crew were professional and hard working plus kept the areas clean throughout a job that was spaced out over a holiday. Highly recommend.

Ability Plus did a superb job cleaning up and updating water problems in my crawl space in home I just bought for 1 million dollars. They worked with me to find cause of mold and water issues in my crawl space and then did a quality job of fixing those problems. They also referred me to two other quality companies to complete overall job of cleaning up my crawl space.I can highly recommend Ability Plus to help resolve drawl space problems. I might add their prices are very fair considering the thorough quality work they do to find the cause of problems and then fix them.

Review 37 (2023-02-16 - Rating: 5)
Konnor, Greg and company are stand-up folks. They know their stuff and are genuinely interested in helping you solve any water intrusion. They don’t upsell or oversell, and take the time to ensure you understand the problem they’ve diagnosed, the solution they’ve proposed, and the reasons why. Truly a pleasure working with these folks!

Great work done as promised. Very courteous employees.Job looks very clean and neat. Could not be more pleased with the whole process

Review 39 (2020-07-31 - Rating: 5)
They showed up on time. When they got here introduced themselves and got to work. They were very clean and professional. They discovered that they didn’t need to do some of the things they originally thought they would. We appreciated that they double checked rather than just doing it becaiSw they said it might need it. Plus they finished a 3 day job in 1 day. They adjusted the bill to reflect that. I would highly recommend them.

I was impressed with the professionalism and responsiveness of the staff. Unfortunately I had to use another company for my project but only because I needed the work done immediately and they were booked out a little too far for my needs. Thank you for going out of your way to try to fit me into your schedule!

We are very impressed with the work they did on our house to stop a chronic flooding issue. I recommend them to anyone with these issues.. it was great the owner took so much time with me at the initial consult to explain the causes of our flooding issue.

Excellent skilled and friendly workers efficiently took care of my crawl space including putting in a French drain, relocating the drain outlet and correctly installing a new vapor barrier—on time, cleaned up the area each day —.quality value for a reasonable price.

21 years ago they assured no drainage issues for our newly bought home in a high risk area. Last month thanks to heavy rains and new underground streams in area, they came to rescue immediately to waterproof crawl space and install sump pump just in case.

We are extremely pleased with Ability. They were honest, clear, straightforward, and *literally* 10K cheaper than 2 other quotes for the same work. Our realtor recommended Ability to us because of their fair prices and quality work. The owner comes out and does an assessment- he was very knowledgeable. Then Taylor took care of it from there. Our house was flooding every time it rained and Taylor was kind enough to go above and beyond for us. He installed a temporary sump pump and pipe to divert the water away temporarily as we were waiting for the big fix. He did that extra work at no extra cost to us. It stopped our house from flooding in the meantime saving our carpet and thousands more in work. The guys who did the work were very respectful and efficient. They worked hard and cleaned up beautifully. We have a mature garden on both sides of our house they had to dig through to get the new pipes in. Our garden looks UNTOUCHED after the work. I cant believe they took such care with our plants. 10/10 experience in every way and worth every penny. We wouldnt hesitate to use them again and recommend them to friends and family without reservations. Thank you!!!

They were amazing. They came out and gave us the quote in 10 minutes and then scheduled us. They came on Dec 8th when the temperatures dropped to below freezing and we had 2 weeks of snow. They still finished very quickly and cleaned up beautifully. Great job!
