Atlantis Drainage Solutions

Drain Pipe Installation, Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair,

About us

Atlantis Drainage Solutions was incorporated in 1997. The President, Ken Banks, was previously employed with a local foundation repair company for 6 1/2 years before starting his own company. It was his belief based on personal experience, as well as professional engineer statements, that the majority (85%) of wet basements could be made dry or maintained dry by improving and managing the water run-off (drainage) around the structure. Therefore our motto became, We Correct the Cause Not the Symptom!

Description of Work: They did a great job of changing the drainage around our house. Sam build some beautiful retaining walls. Dave and Sam were a great team and were very professional. The price was very fair and was even adjusted downward when the retaining walls were a little shorter than estimated.

Description of Work: ADS buried a downspout that shot water across the driveway (and froze in winter making the driveway very hazardous). They buried it and created a drain in the middle of the yard. It worked perfectly and even though they had to go underneath a sidewalk and a very expensive patch of landscaping I could not tell they had buried anything. An A+ job.

Description of Work: Just got estimates for quite a bit of work that needed to be done for the drainage around the house. This bid included a lot of work,, and they were very nice to bid it in sections so we wouldn't have to do it all at once. We haven't had them do the work yet, but if we do, I know it will be done professionally and correctly. Very good company to deal with...A plus!

We had 2 previous estimates to take care of our flooding problem. Brain came out and talked to us about our problem, and what he would recommend. He called us right back after install call. Came out the day and time he said he would. Put us on the schedule and completed the work within one day. The crew was excellent and did a complete job and great clean up. Brain came out after the work was done to inspect and make sure we were completely satisfied. It is great to actually have a company do what they say they would do. They were extremely helpful and knew exactly what we needed to correct the problem.
Description of Work: Installed 65' of French Drain to backyard. Tie in one downspout to back in system. Add 3 boxes through French drain. Added gravel past gate and up to the AC.

I was happy with them. They did really well and they were the only company that was able to fix the exterior cracks, other companies only repaired the interior of the home. The other quotes we received were $1,000 to $2,000 more.

I was very pleased with the work they did. They took a lot of time to look at the house and talk with me about problems/solutions when they came out to do the estimate. They were honest and said that the cracks were probably not the current issue, but I chose to fill them anyway just to be sure. They also gave me some ideas for things I could do myself (fill sidewalk crack, extend drainage pipe, etc) and it was very helpful. It took them awhile to get to me, but once they did, they compelted the work in just one day. Overall, a very good experience. Oh, and don't forget to ask for your Angie's List discount! :)
Description of Work: Regraded front yard, filled 2 cracks. Raised window well and laid mulch when complete.

Mr. Banks was completely professional and communicated with me many times during my hesitation period while I did my homework. He even gave me his cell to call if I had questions, which we communicated by cell regularly for about four months prior to my final decision. The day came with my nerves shot and by the end of the day, I felt like I had made the right decision. All work was done timely and my yard looked great, minus new grass. Since that time, about six months ago now, I have not had one drop of water in my basement. I check it all the time and can now look forward to the spring rains with comfort knowing my personal belongings in the basement will stay dry.
Description of Work: Regraded my entire yard, around my house and barn, installed two window wells, installed two retaining walls, raised my foundation, buried three down spouts, and graded a swell that goes completely around my house protecting my foundation because it diverts the water off the property elsewhere instead of right to my basement.

They did a great job and I have not had a problem since. I do wish they had filled the crack on the inside also. I thought they would do that automatically.
Description of Work: Atlantis Draining Solutions Sealed a crack on the front of my home. They removed the window well and dug to the footing, applied epoxy and membrane patch on the crack. They installed a new window well and regraded the front yard out about 20 feet at a angle to have a positive flow away form my foundation.

Response from Atlantis Drainage Solutions
FOUNDATION CRACKS CAN BE REPAIRED ON EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, BUT NOT USUALLY BOTH AS THE WATER ENTRY POINT IS ON THE EXTERIOR. IN THE EVENT THE INTERIOR WORK WOULD BE FOR COSMETIC PURPOSES ONLY AND HAVE AN ADDITIONAL COST ASSOCIATED WITH UP TO APPROXIMATELY $100. LET US KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL WORK DONE. AS YOU KNOW, OUR EXTERIOR CRACK REPAIR HAS A 10 YEAR GUARANTEE.

Slow to start the project due to rain delays. Not their fault. Finished it in one day. Work done as promised. Don't know for certain that the problem is fixed but believe this will take care of it. Only a very heavy rain will tell for certain.
Description of Work: When a swimming pool was installed, the grade of the yard changed. This caused water to accumulate and flood our walkout basement through the sliding door. A prior contractor had installed a French drain, which failed to solve the problem. Atlantis installed a 6' wide swale that naturally directs the water away from the patio and basement.

Ken, the other, and his foremen Enrique and Kenny were all great to work with. The crew was on time, worked hard, took pride in their work and were considerate; important because I have a home office. There was more work to be done than Atlantis originally thought, so I doubt they made much on the job, but they didn't complain or slack off and didn't submit a higher bill at the end. That really made an impression on me.
Description of Work: Atlantis tuck-pointed the stone foundation inside and outside the house, covered the stone with concrete and painted with paint designed for basements. Also installed a brace and, in the back yard, sloped dirt away from the house and poured gravel.

Ken was very knowledgeable and personable. He offered several creative options to help me save money on the total job. They did excellent work and cleaned up the site after completion. I ended up with a solid solution to the problem at a fraction of the cost of some of the big name basement waterproofing companies.
Description of Work: Problem with basement flooding during very heavy rains. Ken came out and did a thorough inspection. He was very intent on finding the root cause of the problem, not just doing the same solution on every job. After some discussion we jointly determined the most probable cause and he offered several solution options. He ended up installing a second sump external to the house on the opposite side of the house from the original sump. This involved hand-digging a large deep hole, working around existing gas lines and irrigation systems. Then they installed the sump well and a heavy duty external pump.

The owner was very knowledgeable about drainage issues and gave me more insights on being more preventative in thinking. He said they had a minimum of 600 dollars, and he thought the work would cost only 400. I agreed to pay him 500 to get the work done. He may have been backed up with work, it took about three or four weeks for his crew to come out and do the work. They were very good: cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: Replaced a small drain pipe with a larger diameter PVC pipe. I had two drains, connected to gutter downspots that drained 15 feet away from the house, underground.

All the gutters and downspouts on the house had been upgraded 3 years earlier, but the existing 2'' section of pipe under the walkway caused water to backup and seep into the basement. They were able to schedule the work within a week and the job took less than a day. All the shrubs they moved appear to be surviving and they did a good job of cleaning up. The lawn sprinkler system stopped working after they installed the drain and Ken was nice enough to send out a sprinkler guy to take a look. It turned out to be a problem completely unrelated to their digging. It has rained a couple of times since the installation and the section of basement wall has remained completely dry, so I'm very satisfied with their work.
Description of Work: They installed a french drain, a surface drain, and replaced the existing 2'' gutter drain with a 4'' drain under walkway in front of the house.

Two guys arrived on time. They were courteous and did not patronize me because I am a woman. They assessed the problem and advised me that they could do something, but that a simple do-it-yourself would work very well and would probably cost less than $30. They went on to explain how to carry out the project and tell me where to get the materials. Although ADS did not do any actual work, this kind of customer service and integrity is rare and is worth noting on the list.
Description of Work: I called ADS to give an estimate on some sort of drainage channel for my driveway.

They did an excellent job at fixing our basement water problem that we have had for years. They offered a different solution from other basement companies for fixing the problem. The work site was cleaned up very well after the work was completed.

They were very busy this fall and our job was relatively small, so it took awhile for them to get to us. But the work was done as estimated and so far the basement hasn't leaked again. I was worried about damage to the landscaping and what it would look like, but it looked fine and they cleaned everything up when they were done(actually the bill was $50 lower than the original estimate because we did some shrubbery removal ahead of time).

FIRST, NOTE THAT THIS COMPANY DOESN'T SELL TRADITIONAL WATERPROOFING SERVICES. WHAT THEY DO MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE. INSTEAD OF FIGHTING THE WATER THAT IS TRYING TO GET INTO YOUR BASEMENT, THEY CHANNEL THE WATER AWAY FROM YOUR HOUSE. THEY DO THIS BY RESLOPING THE EARTH AROUND YOUR HOUSE, INSTALLING BERMS, FRENCH DRAINS AND UNDERGROUND DRAIN LINES TO TAKE WATER FROM YOUR SUMP PUMP AND GUTTERS. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION THAN THE EXTREME (AND EXPENSIVE) MEASURES SOLD BY OTHERS. WORK WAS DONE QUICKLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE FOR WHAT THEY DID. SOMETIMES IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO GET HOLD OF RHONDA, THE OFFICE PERSON, BUT THAT WASN'T REALLY A PROBLEM.
Description of Work: 1. ADDED CLAY/DIRT TO IMPROVE SLOPE AROUND TWO SIDES OF MY HOUSE (ABOUT 75 LINEAR FEET). THIS WAS DONE BY USING A SOD CUTTER TO TAKE UP THE GRASS, ADDING DIRT AND RELAYING THE SOD. 2. INSTALLED 4'' UNDERGROUND DRAINAGE PIPE ALONGSIDE MY HOUSE TO ACCEPT WATER FROM TWO DOWNSPOUTS AND THE SUMP PUMP. 3. INSTALLED WHAT AMOUNTED TO A 'FLOOR DRAIN' IN A LOW SPOT IN MY BACK YARD AND CONNECTED IT TO THE UNDERGROUND DRAIN LINE.
