Jeremy came out and gave me a great price to put in two more French Drains, attached them all together with 50 or 60 feet of pipe. That solved the problem right away. I have been waiting through the summer storms just in case. Now I know that Jeremy put in a permanent solution. He was great to work with and I would use him again...except he did such a good job I won't need him again.
Description of Work: I had a horrible drainage problem at the back of my property. After rainstorms it was typical to have anywhere up to 6" of standing water. I had already spend $1700 with another contractor to have a French Drain installed and the problem didn't go away.

Description of Work: Jermey installed (replaced) underground drains fro my downspouts to the street and installed a sump pump at the same time. Several months ago one of the sump pum connections came apart and I had water all over my partially finished basement. I call Jermey to repair the connection. He called me and siad he would call me and setup a time to come out. HE NEVER DID. I EMAILED HIM, BUT NO RESPONSE. GAVE UP. Pipe is still together with ducttape. I unederground drain are fine, but should have been deeper. Originally, I paid him between $800-900.

Response from Chapman Drainage & Basement Repair
I received a call from this member over the winter this year. I scheduled a time to come out, and I showed up right when I said I would. I knocked on the door and got no answer. I tried calling from my cell phone and nobody picked up. I left and never received another call from her. I had assumed the problem was solved and my services weren't needed. People blowing off appointments happens from time to time and we just have to pack up and move on to the next job. I'll be happy to do anything that she needs done as long as I know that someone will be there when I arrive to do the work. I'd invite her to call me ASAP and I'll be happy to help. I can't perform any repair work without in-person approval from the client.

Jeremy came out and inspected my perpetually wet back yard. He took measuremnets and gave me a ballpark idea of cost but then went home and emailed me a firm quote. Is asked for some references and he provided them. Based on his positive reviews on Angies's List, the feedback from his references and his price I gave him the work. Due to the wet spring he was backed up on jobs so I waited a few week for everything to start. Jeremy called me one morning and due to a change in his schedule said he could get started that day, I asked a few additional questions about the drain and long story short I added a wrinkle that would need another two weeks to order an additional part. Jeremy was 100% OK with the change and we waited 2 more weeks. Two weeks later Jeremy showed up Monday morning and was ready to go. Unfortunatley it rained the night before making the yard a little too slick for his ditch digger. And only one of the utilites in my yard had been marked. Jeremy called the company again to mark the cable and electric this time. On Tuesday the job started in earnest and and moved forward quickly. The reason I bring up all these little issues is to let you know Jeremy was very professional throughout the whole process from start to finish. None of these problems were caused by Jeremy but he dealt with all of them and moved on. All in all it was a good experience and I would use jeremy again.

I am writing again to upgrade my prior evaluation of this company. Previously, I had an issue with the responsiveness, and with the original replacement of dirt to cover the drain ditch. The owner showed excellent professionalism, returned to the home and graded the landscaping which now looks very good. I am pleased enough that I have asked him to look at another possible job with my sump system.

Great service. Prompt with estimate and also very good follow up by phone and e-mail. Weather was very wet so had to be re-scheduled a few times but Jeremy was great about keeping us informed. Price was very reasonable. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.

Prompt response to come out and assess situation and prepare estimate. Subsequently the company owner went on vacation but did not update his voicemail system so my calls to request the start of the job went unanswered for about 10 days. Once he returned he promptly called and apologized for the oversight. Job was scheduled but needed AEP to mark the grounds before digging. Because of their backlog, my job got delayed. Jeremy came out to survey to see if he could locate all of the wires into the house and go ahead and proceed with job without AEP. He was successful with that approach and was able to start my job that afternoon and finished the next day. He was missing one part to install a clean out at the beginning of the route. He followed up in a couple days and came back to install the clean out. A successful job and now my sump is properly draining to the street without undue stress on the pump. Additionally, Jeremy was very considerate in piling the dirt back over the drainage pipe and tamping down.
Description of Work: House 18 years old and drainage was poorly constructed, too small pipe (2-3") for amount of water being carried to street. Had new 4" drainage pipe installed to exit two downspouts and my sump pump to the street.

Installation went very well. Chapman came out himself to do the work. He had a good trencher to take care of the heaviest work of digging. Some of the old pipe was removed and other parts of it stayed because the new line did not follow exactly the path of the old line. Over 120 feet of pipe was installed and working within about six hours of work. The dirt was put back into place and was rolled with a heavy roller. The pipe was sloped to train to the street.
Description of Work: Chapman Drainage installed a new drain pipe from three downspouts and a sump pump to the present curb cut for a drain. The former drain had collapsed (over a 20-year period) which made the sump pump run a lot. The new drain pipe is 4 inch SCH30PVC-PE sewer and drainage pipe. The old pipe was 3 inches. The new pipe was sealed with glue. There is a five-year warranty on the work.

He was able to come out within 2 hours of my call and got the work done within 30 minutes. He replaced the sump pump with an American made product, which is important to me. He was very friendly and did a great job! I would definitely use him again.

HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL WHEN HE CAME OUT. I GAVE THE GO AHEAD FOR THE WORK IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER, AND THEN I DIDN'T HEAR FROM HIM. I STARTED CALLING AND WAS UNABLE TO REACH HIM, SO I WOULD LEAVE MESSAGES. FINALLY I GOT IN TOUCH WITH HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER. HE DID NOT KEEP ME INFORMED OF PROGRESS OR OF WHAT WAS GOING ON. I RECOGNIZE THAT THE WEATHER HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE, BUT I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PURSUE HIM SO MUCH TO GET HIM TO COMPLETE THE JOB. I FEEL HIS PRICE IS FAIR AND ONCE THE WORK WAS DONE, IT WAS DONE WELL. THE DRAINAGE DOES WORK.

WE APOLOGIZE TO THIS MEMBER FOR NOT COMMUNICATING THE SITUATION A LITTLE MORE CLEARER REGARDING HER PROJECT. THE WEATHER WAS ESPECIALLY HORRIBLE DURING THE TIME THIS JOB WAS PERFORMED AND WE ATTEMPTED TO KEEP HER IN THE LOOP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I FELT THAT IT BECAME A BIT REDUNDANT TO KEEP CALLING AND LETTING HER KNOW THAT WE WERE DELAYED BECAUSE OF WEATHER. I HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS SITUATION AND HAVE IMPROVED MY COMMUNICATION WITH OUR CLIENTS.

HE PROVIDED QUALITY AND PRICE. IT WAS ABOUT A 75 FT LONG PIPE AND HE WAS VERY REASONABLE. HOWEVER, HE SAID THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO MY JOB BUT IT TOOK HIM OVER A MONTH BEFORE HE COULD DO THE WORK. THE ONLY THING THAT BOTHERED ME ABOUT THAT IS THAT THERE WAS NO COMMUNICATION ABOUT HIS SCHEDULE.

THE ESTIMATE WAS REASONABLE. THE JOB WAS PROMISED IN 7-10 DAYS. COMPANY WAS NON-RESPONSIVE TO PHONE CALLS, VOICE MAILBOX WAS FULL ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. THE OWNER DID RESPOND TO EMAIL AFTER A COUPLE DAYS, BUT CONTINUED TO GIVE EXCUSES (WEATHER, OTHER BUSINESS, HEALTH PROBLEMS) AS TO WHY JOB WAS DELAYED. MORE THAN 6 WEEKS LATER, JOB WAS TO BE STARTED WHEN HE DISCOVERED A 'PROBLEM' WITH CURB OUTLET AND INDICATED MORE DELAY WOULD BE NEEDED TO OBTAIN PERMIT. I CANCELLED CONTRACT. HE NEEDS TO WORK ON CUSTOMER SERVICE, RETURNING PHONE CALLS, EXPLAINING DELAYS. BLAMING WEATHER FOR A 6 WEEK DELAY MAKES NO SENSE.

Response from Chapman Drainage & Basement Repair
I CONTACTED THIS CUSTOMER REGARDING THE DELAY TO EXPLAIN MY SITUATION. I HAD TO BE OUT OF TOWN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME TO RECOVER FROM AN EMERGENCY MEDICAL ISSUE. I MADE VERY CLEAR WHEN I WOULD BE BACK TO WORK, MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE CUSTOMER, AND SHOWED UP WHEN I SAID I WOULD. DURING A PRELIMINARY INSPECTION OF THE WORKSITE, I FOUND A PROBLEM UNDISCOVERED DURING THE ESTIMATE. THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE REQUIRED MY COMPANY TO FILE A PERMIT WITH THE CITY TO PROPERLY FIX AS IT DEALT WITH THE SIDEWALK AND CURB. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION AND THE CUSTOMER VERY ANGRILY REACTED TO THE NEWS. THE CUSTOMER FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE FACT THAT ONCE A PERMIT IS NEEDED, I AM NOT PERMITTED TO PERFORM WORK UNTIL THE PERMIT IS IN HAND. I WOULD OPEN MYSELF UP TO FINES SHOULD I ATTEMPT TO PERFORM WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THE SITUATION, BUT MY EXPLANATION APPARENTLY WASN''T GOOD ENOUGH. AT THAT POINT, THE CUSTOMER AND I MUTUALLY AGREED TO PART WAYS. I FEEL HORRIBLE THAT I COULD NOT GET TO THE CUSTOMER''S PROJECT SOONER. I WOULD HAVE MUCH RATHER BEEN WORKING THAN LAID UP SICK. I TRIED TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER HAPPY, BUT ONE CANNOT PLEASE EVERYONE. I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW THIS CUSTOMER WHAT OUR COMPANY CAN DO UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I THINK THEIR OPINION WOULD BE VERY DIFFERENT.
