"They were prompt with getting us scheduled for an estimate. When they came out they were through and I felt confident moving forward with them, a very no nonsense approach which is appreciated! The estimate was less than what we had been quoted from other companies. When they came and did the work the crew was extremely friendly and Mark was great with customer services all throughout the process. We’ll definitely be working with them again for our next concrete project."

"I had a sink hole in my backyard and needed drainage, exterior, to deal with the sink hole, tie in to the French drain and bring it around to the front and tie it in with the downspout to send it out to the Sewer. Nathan and his crew did a phenomenal job! Polite, courteous, responsible, timely, all the things you want in a company you hire. It took a little longer than planned due to the wonderful rain 🌧️ but they got the job done. I would not think at all to hire them again if I have any more problems with drainage. Wonderful to work with!"

"We recently had Hart Masonry and Waterproofing replace our foundation and waterproof the basement. The entire process was easy and Brandon and his crew were phenomenal! We had multiple companies out to quote the repair (big name companies that you see advertising everywhere). They all wanted to put band-aids on the problem, Hart Masonry was the only company that wanted to get to the heart of the issue and fix the entire basement so the foundation would be good for life. Most of the digging was done entirely by hand and the repair took 3 days less than originally expected which was a nice surprise.They were polite, efficient, willing to work around our schedule, and cleaned up after the work was completed. I would not hesitate to recommend Hart Masonry and Waterproofing to anyone that has basement structural or water issues."

"So far, so great! From the crew to the service team in the office, everyone has been super. I am so pleased with how the basement looks, and the quality and thoroughness of the work product makes me think it should outlive me! The crew arrived exactly on time. The foreman explained everything they would be doing, step by step, and answered all of my questions as we walked through my basement, and around my house. He was knowledgeable, patient, and with an easy manner that made him very approachable - I could ask anything (and I had a lot of questions) and he took the time to talk to me. He's great, and an asset to the company. The supervisor was excellent. He's clearly experienced, and that expertise and professionalism shows in the efficient way he worked through the project, and he looked after me and my house like I was family. I didn't interact much with the crew, but they were friendly, and in good spirits - which makes me think they like their jobs, too. And the job finished exactly when the foreman said it would. I do have follow-up questions (there's a lot to absorb, and I should have written things down), but I am confident that OSW stands by its work, not to mention its warranty. Thank you thank you thank you. This was a big, expensive project, and I feel really good about my decision to go with OSW."

"I wish I had hired them first! I hired another company to fix my moving bowed and shearing basement walls. They were primarily a waterproofing company, but said they had the solutions to my issues. 3 months after they were complete, my walls cracked and shifted again. (Note, in the attached photos, the patchwork quilt on the walls was the OTHER company.) OBA fixed my issues the correct way. And they were great at every step. The work crew Caleb, Delontae, and Dylan were fast, efficient, and cleaned up when they were done. Caleb made sure to explain what was happening as they did the work and ask if I had questions. The work was thorough, and I feel good about it. And even better, they'll be out in 6 months to ensure everything is working as it should and make adjustments if needed."

Absolutely. You can combine drainage installation with many other kinds of projects, such as building a new home, constructing a major addition, or installing an irrigation system. Since excavation is already underway, combining tasks can save you time and money by minimizing labor and material expenses and ensuring seamless integration of multiple systems.
Make sure your contractor is licensed and insured by checking their credentials. Ask for a detailed written estimate outlining every aspect of your drainage system, including how they plan to address specific problem areas in your yard. You can also ask if they have a warranty for their work. Additionally, review customer feedback to confirm the quality of their work.
It depends on your specific water management needs. A French drain is a passive system that redirects water away from your home without mechanical assistance. A sump pump actively removes water when it reaches a certain level. Often, using both systems together provides the best defense against water intrusion, but a pro can give you specific advice for your home and yard.
