"Just had ours put in, and it looks great. Our installation team ( Lenny, Terrence, and Manny ) were on time, friendly, hard working and meticulous. Lenny took time to explain things when I popped down and was very patient with questions while working incredibly hard. We have friends who literally live in a swamp who had Busy Dog a couple years ago and their system has worked perfectly. They were getting water in their basement several times a year-- now NOTHING. And I love the technology innovations by this company, the quality of the materials is top notch. Salesman Mike worked with us to set up the construction, he and their engineer came out several times to make sure they understood our tricky set up and worked to get the timing right for timing that worked for us"

"We started having water leaks on a basement wall. Started slow but increased. We made the mistake of calling the big name TC H......, waited weeks to schedule first appointment. Finally showed up and proposed major excavation of basement wall, then applying new membrane. Unfortunately in our house, every external connection arrives via that wall. Talking electric, cable, septic, well water, and sprinkler. They wanted to use excavator to dig but wouldn't take responsibility for any potential damage. Price tag was very high. I was very nervous about this of course. I saw one source of water was around well pipe and other was wall itself. Contacted Marquis Well in Sanford who showed up immediately. Proposed hand digging at a lower price. They scheduled quickly, hand dug all the dirt, found Crack in water pipe casing and sealed up. But wall still had issue. Searched further and found Groundworks, lots of positive reviews. Called and they arrived quickly to assess. Beth is a true professional who knows her business extremely well. We signed proposal to inject sealant into cracks from inside of wall. Josh arrived to perform the work. He was effecient, very experienced who knew exactly what to do. During his inspection, he recommended bypassing one of the smaller Crack where water was never seen, thereby reducing our costs....unheard of! He completed the work quickly, zero mess or damage to our house. I cannot recommend both of these companies any higher. Both were outstanding in every aspect. Don't fall for the big ads from the others!"

"I spent a lot of time trying to find someone that could replace my front steps. Getting someone to actually call back was the first challenge. Then, trying to find someone who does everything we wanted: granite steps, faux stone facing and sides, white railings, and the ability to tear up and lower my walkway then redo it to make the first step 7” was an even bigger challenge. We finally found the right guy/company and we are very happy with the results. Walter Santos of W. Santos Construction did it all for us. He started within days of us accepting his proposal. He was kind, communicated the next steps with us well, and the quality was fantastic. I was outside tonight taking photos and a family was taking a walk stopped me to ask who did the steps because “they make the house.” I took some dry and wet pics after the dust was washed off and I’m very happy with the results. He even came out to finish on Memorial Day."

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 feedback from their previous customers 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.
Your contractor starts by mapping and digging a trench with at least a 1% slope so water can run off freely. Next, they’ll line the trench with filter fabric, add gravel, and lay the drainpipe to keep water moving. Contractors use specialized equipment to complete each step and ensure compliance with local regulations. This systematic approach creates a robust solution that effectively directs water away from your home.
A proper slope is essential for an effective drainage system installation. Drainage trenches must be engineered with a minimum 1% slope to ensure water flows immediately away from your home without hindrance. Adequate grading increases the system’s capacity to handle heavy water volumes and eliminates pooling. Always verify local guidelines and contact utility services before excavation to ensure safety and compliance.
