Drain Connections did a great job. They cleared out all drain lines around the house and identified the problem. When they excavated in the front yard, they found that the problem was not as extensive then they first thought and the repair was less expensive then the original estimate. When the work was completed, you could not even tell where the digging had occurred. This company was thorough, professional, and honest.
Description of Work: We had a broken drain tile in the front of our home.

Andy AND 3 employees arrived on time, prepared and with all equipment and supplies needed... They were extremely courteous and professional throughout the entire project and walked me through each stage of work as it was performed throughout the day (at my request). The back of our yard is back in the same condition it was prior to the start of the job which is impressive as 185ft was De-turfed and trenched out approx 10-18 inches deep... We have a much larger project for the front of our house and we will absolutely use this company for another quote ref the scope of work and experience they have.
Description of Work: Andy the company owner came out (on time) and quoted us for a 185ft trench to be dug with drainage to be put in to alleviate a problem with standing water at the back of our lot where the septic leach field naturally flows out. Price included; existing turf removal/replace, re-seed, trench dug, hard and flexible pipe installed with gravel and 3 catch basins to help flow. We had two other "A" rated Angies List companies come out!!! The primary reason we went with Drain Connection was that we needed 3 catch basins put in due to sheer amount of water that flows from not only natural rainfall but the leach field, the other companies quoted just one. Also Andy took as much time with us as we needed to explain and educate us as customer with no "hard sell..." Although their quote was around $250 more expensive due to some additional trenching plus fingers that came off the main trench, we felt 100% sure it would totally take care of our issue which was in the original quote and not tacked on while they performed the work. We would definitely use them again, a smooth experience for an above average sized project.

Technician was very prompt, polite, got down to business and snaked out the drain.He found a leak in the drain pipe which required cutting into a wall for access, and a return visit to replace pipes. He handled this complication very well and the price was also very reasonable.

Overall the job went well. A few items that could have been improved: -After meeting and agreeing to the work, Andrew said that he would call me before the end of the week to provide me the date the work was to be performed. Andrew never called and I ended up having to call him the next week to find out what was going on. Doing what you say you are going to do is number one in customer service. -After the work was performed, the old temporary downspout material was laying all over the yard. As a landlord, it is these things I do not want to have to worry about. The crew should have called me and asked what I wanted done with the debris.

It only took 3.5 hours for 3 guys to whip through this job, amazing. In and out with out issues. Very nicely done, let my 3 year old look as he was interested in the process. Other than the hot weather messing with the replaced grass you would not know they were here. I did have to push some durt back under 1 sidewalk as the pipe was showing but that was a minor issue. Waiting for the 1st heavy rain to ensure everything drains as intended. Would use Drain Connection again.
Description of Work: Had Drain Connection run new pipe from Sump pump and 3 down spouts out to the curb. About 110' of 4" underground drain line. This included tunneling under 2 sidewalks. They used a sod machine to pick the grass up before digging, and put the sod back down when completed. Angled pipes for drainage.

Tony and Troy showed up at the exact time that we were told. They were both extremely friendly and professional. They asked a few questions, evaluated the area, and got right to work. The job was done in no time and everything works great. They cleaned up after themselves, asked if I had any questions, and went on their way. If I have any plumbing needs in the future, Drain Connection is who I'm calling.

Estimator came on schedule and provided a detailed estimate. After receiving another, much higher, estmate from a different source, i decided to go with Drain Connection. The scheduler called me about a week ahead of the scheduled date and set the date. The workers arrived right on time and performed the work in just a few hours, describing every detail as they performed the work. Carefully moved plants in a flower bed and returned them to their original position. Removed and replaced brickes in a sidewalk, changed the course of the line to avoid tree roots, etc. It was a small job, but physically difficult with several joints - hand digging was required through the flower bed and sidewalk, and to avoid a buried electrical line. Dave, Stephan, and Jimmy were very professional and personable throughout. The invoice was exactly the same as the estimate - no additional charges.
Description of Work: Connected downspout and sump pump discharge pipes to existing drainage line. About 50 feet of excavation and new line.

This is the second time we have called Drain Connection and been extremely pleased with their honest high quality service. In both cases, they diagnosed and fixed plumbing leaks quickly and with minimum cost to us. Most recently, rather than simply replacing the toilet innards, they took the time to examine all the symptoms, both inside and outside the house, and find the real cause of the problem. In both cases they have been able to schedule us promptly and arrived on time. Excellent company.
Description of Work: We had what turned out to be a weird water leak that resulted in an outrageous water bill. Andrew was persistent in diagnosing the cause (a hidden pipe) and quickly fixing it.

Andy arrived on time for the estimate, explained his recommended approach to our problem, answered all of our questions and provided a written diagram and estimate. The work crew ( Dave and Stefan) arrived on time on the day they performed the work. They weren't able to use their "ditch witch" for much of the job because the back yard was still too wet, so they hand-dug the trenches for the lines and drain boxes. They also connected our sump pump to the new line. The crew was friendly and professional, and they spread the extra dirt where I asked and replaced the sod as best they could.
Description of Work: The contractor installed approximately 180' of 4" drain pipe, 4 yard drain boxes and 80' of sock pipe to alleviate excess surface water accumulating in our back yard. They ran the line to the street, tunneled under the sidewalk and cut a new curb hole for the line.

I was cleaning up the kitchen and was finishing up with the kitchen sink when the water wouldn't shut off. When I tried to stop the leak, it just got worse. After shutting off the water supply to the faucet, I called Drain Connection which I had used earlier to install drains and other plumbing jobs. When I first called, it didn't look like I could get anyone out to look at the problem until the next morning. Then they called back and said they could be at my home that afternoon. What a relief. When they starting looking at the existing fixture, it was pretty clear it was in need of replacement, not repair. They went ahead and took out the old plumbing while I went to Lowes to find a new faucet. They had already recommended brands and types of fixtures I should consider. We got home with the new faucet and they had it installed and working properly in just a few minutes. It looks and works great.

When we were having ponding water around the exterior of the house, Drain Connection came out and diagnosed the problem as old delapidated/crushed drainage pipes coming out of the downspouts. Andrew the owner came out in a few days to give us an estimate for ~100ft of new drain pipe; he did a thorough job of explaining their process and materials. The price was reasonable and they were able to fit us in before the ground froze. They used high quality pvc pipe, removed and replaced the sod after digging trenches and placing all pipe, and asked us where we would like the extra dirt spread (they placed it in the flower beds nicely graded away from the house). After the ground subsided, you could hardly tell where the new pipe was placed. Very professional and good quality work.

The sump pump in my basement was not working so yesterday I called Andy at Drain Connection. He was most polite and scheduled replacement first thing this morning. Tommy did the installation, and he was prompt, professional, and informative. He answered all my questions and explained the pump's features. The cost was exactly as Andy had quoted with the senior discount applied to the labor. I love service calls that are handled so efficiently! I definitely will call Drain Connection again, if necessary, and recommend this company to friends.

Andy came out early on a monday to look at installing french drains. I gave him my e-mail address and asked him to e-mail the estimate. I never got it. Matter of fact, I never heard from him again. Which is too bad. Considering his stellar reviews here and a referral from a friend of mine, he was as good as hired. Oh, well. Guess I will have to look elsewhere!

Response from Drain Connection
This estimate was e-mailed to the e-mail she gave us on or about December 10th of 2011. The e-mail was never sent back to us as not sent. I love the fact we got a bad report for doing what I said I would do. In almost all cases when I tell a customer that I will send an estimate via mail, fax, or e-mail and thet did not get it they call. Today I am making a copy of the est and sending it to her. She was in a hurry that morning an wrote down her e-mail address on a post it note with no phone number.

Andy arrived promptly for the estimate and was courteous and professional. He gave me a written estimate for the work and I chose Drain Connection over another A rated service because I preferred his solution to the problem of an extra downspout which was previously poorly plumbed into the old drainage system. He was also more professional and quoted a better price. Work had to be scheduled six weeks out because of their volume of work but they notified me when the job was scheduled and kept to their promised date. I did not have any emergency that required an immediate response. On the scheduled day Dave arrived promptly with his crew and was courteous and professional. He reviewed the work order with me and went to work. Work was complete in just over half a day. Drainage was vastly improved and we've had no problem in the six months since in spite of an extremely wet summer and fall. I did mark them down to a "B" on quality purely because I think the back fill and sod replacement could have been a little bit neater. Some areas in the yard were still a bit high or low even after ample time for settling. I also also found one basement window well partially covered with dirt.
Description of Work: New drain pipes run from four downspouts and sump pump drain to the curb. One additional downspout redirected to drain into downspout with a drain to the curb.

not good. See above. I was never one to "burn bridges. I would have written this off as one bad situation with a previously good relationship, but...that's not how it went.
Description of Work: I had to wait a while to figure out how to report this company.In January, 2005 I put this company on the "pages of happiness" in the angies list publication. I had water pooling in my yard (literally a swamp) They put in extensive/expensive drainage in that was fantastic! In Aug/2009 I had standing water in the yard again near the house. They replaced 22 feet of downspout underground drains. In Sept/2011, I again had water standing in the same area. I called Andy and he sent Jim who was very nice and professional. He snaked the drain and had a converstaion with Andy. Andy told him to cap off the old line. Two days later the water is coming into the basement. The drain connection does not have weekend or emergency contacts. I called leaving multiple messages. I was forced to call a plumber who stated "whatever they did, it was wrong." The sump could not pump out the water. After replacing the sump and still the water not going anywhere, we went outside and saw a fountain coming up where the snaked drain meets the downspout. They had to install an external drainage line to pump the water out. Someone from Drain Connection finally called me back Sunday night to say they would check it out on Monday. I told them what was done. Jim from the Drain Connection came out and then left me a phone message saying "Youre all hooked up. You have good water flow from back to front. There were a few crush areas he took care of." This is now 4 days after it was previously snaked and found to be "clear." I wrote Andy and wanted my money back. I had to have an emergency plumbing service, water in the finished basement required pulling back a large area of carpet, replacing the pad, buying a dehumidifier that ran night and day for 2 weeks and retacking the carpet. Andy called back and basically said he'd refund my money but don't ever call him again.
