I called numerous drainage companies to deal with our back yard, which is a swamp 11/12 months a year. From the FEW that actually had the courtesy to answer my call, make the appointment, show up on time and then provide a written quote in a timely manner, Jason at AB Drain won the job hands down! He spent over an hour at my house on a Saturday evening going over the causes of the constant water pooling in my yard and answered every question in a way that I could tell he knew his stuff! I made my mind up before he even left my property that night. When I received his quote, he was extremely thorough explaining each step in great detail, something that was severely lacking with the other few quotes I received. The best part was that his price was under our budget and was the second lowest but included much more that the others did not include, such as hauling away the excess dirt from the french drain, grading out the yard afterwards and using high grade piping instead of that black corrugated garbage!! He kept us in the loop approaching the start date and throughout the job itself, providing us updates daily. I wasn't there for two of the days but he took hundreds of photos during the job that were awesome seeing how it all came together and what is now under the grass!! His crew worked their butts off without taking lengthy breaks or talking on their phones all day...God bless them! Jason was on the job the entire time, which you don't see often being that he is the owner. He was just as dirty and sweaty as his crew at the end of the days. It took them 5 days to install 400 feet of french drain, a sump pump and then 300 feet of downspout drains that all drained into a small retention pond he installed at the back of our farm. I won't lie that I questioned whether it would function as he promised but since the install it has poured many times with local flooding even. Those rains would leave out yard as a swamp for weeks afterwards but not now! It all worked in unison and leaves our yard functional, dry and our plot able to take on seed for the first time in a decade without washout concern! These guys are top notch! Jason provided a transferable lifetime warranty on labor, which was not offered by any of the others who submitted bids (and charged more than him)! I would recommend them to anybody that appreciates attention to detail, quality of work, personalized customer service, and an all around professional approach when in a similar drainage nitemare like we used to be stuck in! Thank you guys! Keep up the great work!" read more

AB Drain and Construction did a phenomenal job on my basement waterproofing. They were extraordinarily professional and accommodating, and very hardworking. Jason explained the process every step of the way. Even after some heavy rain last week, my basement is bone-dry. Before AB Drain did the job, there would have been serious water intrusion from several places. Now, I have the peace of mind that my basement can actually be a usable space for years to come. Also, the transferrable lifetime warranty is a huge bonus and should definitely increase my home value should I decide to sell in the future. I absolutely recommend AB Drain and Construction for any and all basement waterproofing needs!! read more

We chose AB Drain and Construction to waterproof our moldy basement. Now, we have no water, mold or mildew smell- even after a huge storm rolled in just days after they completed the job! Jason was very thorough and communicative during the entire job. I have already recommended AB! read more

Just had our entire basement waterproofed and new downspouts installed and couldn't be happier! We just had a huge storm to test the new system and everything is bone dry and no more mildew smell in the basement. I will recommend A&B to anyone that needs this type of work done. Super nice crew that does great work and has amazing communication during the whole job! Thanks again! read more

Hired ab drain to install footer drains down spouts and sump pump right from the start i could tell Jason was honest and professional Jason and his crew did an outstanding job walked me through every step of the way stayed true to his quote and gave me a great price would highly recommend.thanks Jason and ab drain read more

I am so grateful for Jason and his team. because of them I no longer get knots in my stomach every time I see rain on the weather forecast. Living in a home without a basement that is located in an area that floods meant that I had to go outside for hours sometimes to push water away from my house to prevent it from coming directly into my kitchen and even bedrooms sometimes. This created a lot of anxiety for me over the years and meant that I couldn't even leave the house some days when I knew it was going to rain. I am so glad I made the call and hired AB Drain and Construction because ever since they completed the work at my house I have had no problems! They also were true to their word of pricing which only seemed to get lower as Jason let me know about more discounts he would add on. He seemed so genuine and helped in every way he could. His explanations of his process and work were extremely thorough and thoughtful. If you've already received a quote from another company I highly suggest contacting Jason before they come out. He was able to beat the price of another company who quoted me and also provided a plan to solve my problem that did not include breaking up my driveway like the other company was going to do. I can't thank these guys enough! read more

I called Three different waterproofing companies when I realized I had an issue with my newly purchased house's basement. Jason came to my house, performed a thorough inspection and provided me with a few different options. He also answered quite a few questions from both myself and my wife without pressuring us to move forward with one. After I had two additional companies provide me estimates, I decided to go with AB Drain. I was impressed with the multiple options and Jason's time he spent to educate my wife/myself. As far as cost estimates - he was a shade above the least expensive. He started within a week of signing a contract and completed the job in approx a week. He was on site for almost the entire duration. The end result met the expectations he set forth with the option I chose. Overall, I was impressed with how quickly he grasped the issues, the options he provided to fix these issues, the cost, the cleanup and delivery. He also provided a guarantee for his work. He even stopped back to my house to answer a few questions after I paid him. On a Sunday. In this day and age of questionable contractors, I highly recommend AB Drain. read more

I placed two or three calls to Jason to try and get him to correct a drain he installed earlier this year and have not had a return call. The receipt says his work is guaranteed. message left my dry well is bubbling up in the backyard and the line is gurgling back into the basement. I'm hoping this will get some attention and Jason will make his 11,000.00 plus job good. read more

I never leave reviews but this time I felt I should share my story as it's the least I can do to show my gratitude for the saving grace Jason and his workers provided. I am a single father of 3 and bought my first home 6 years ago after saving for my entire life. I got it inspected and it passed with flying colors. After the first rain, I noticed the walls were leaking BAD through cracks that were simply covered up by thick paint. My basement floor was a mini pool every time it rained. I was so upset but the worst part is I called every basement waterproofing company I could find. I got prices ranging from 35,000 to 13,000!!!! Each company gave me the same sales pitch but I connected with one company AB Drain and Construction and it's owner Jason. He took the time to explain everything I needed done and also why the route he recommended was the most effective. His price allowed me to afford to have the basement waterproofed without signing my life away and being in debt for as long as I live on a house I just spent my life savings on only a few months earlier! He did exactly what he promised. After one week of hard (loud lol) work they were done with the basement waterproofing and the next storm followed within one week. I was so nervous but not ONE DROP of water was on my basement floor! I must say how through his company I was able to get this major issue solved for an affordable price Because I could never have afforded 35,000!!!!! I am in the process of finishing my basement for my kids to have their own area to play (and a man cave for myself). I just wanted to share this story with you guys and give my stamp of approval for these guys! Money well spent to say the least!!! Stay safe all!!! read more

Jason was great, the problem was my backyard was unusable due to clay composition and a backyard that had been packed down by an excavator. Jason planned on solving the drainage issues by installing French drains. We had torrential rains while he worked and he was out there rain or shine getting the job done. Unfortunately, it's now August (the job was in April) and my backyard is still wet. The drain he ran to the street works but the pipe is installed too low and water backs up into it and also a piece of concrete he's let settle on the street obstructs the flow of water down the street. He was a great guy but for the amount of money we spent I'd expect flawless execution and we did not receive anything close to that. He also stated he'd be back to plant grass free of charge and to level the back yard but unfortunately he hasn't returned text messages to do so. read more
