We have been in communication with VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions since March 12, 2026 regarding…read moreproblems with two projects which they completed on our home. In 2021 they completed a waterproofing project which carries a 12 year warranty, and in 2022 they completed a patio installation which carries a 5 year warranty. As of April 22, 2026, VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions has not provided a solution to either of these problems. Our foundation wall was bowed before VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions excavated and waterproofed our home in 2021. We showed the bowed wall to VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions before the excavation began, and they recommended proceeding with the project without reinforcing the wall. We began to see small cracks in the foundation wall shortly after VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions completed the waterproofing. We showed the cracked wall to VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions before they installed our patio in 2022. VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions assured us that the cracks were not a problem. However, the cracks have grown substantially since then, and an independent structural engineer has confirmed that the wall is failing. In addition, the patio is sinking, the exterior waterproofing membrane is slipping, and there is a damp smell in our home near the cracked wall. In order to provide access to the cracked foundation wall for repairs, our patio will have to be removed, and the exterior of our home will have to be excavated again. Once the engineer's recommended repairs have been completed, the wall will have to be waterproofed again, and our yard will have to be regraded again. Finally, our patio will have to be reinstalled. We paid VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions to do all of this work in 2021 and 2022 because we trusted their professional opinion about our foundation wall. We now have to pay another contractor to do all of this work again so that our foundation wall can be reinforced. VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions has stated that they will not honor the warranty on the waterproofing project because the man who estimated the project is no longer employed by VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions. They have not provided details about how they will honor the warranty on the patio installation. We will update our review if VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions honors the warranties on their work. In the meantime, we cannot recommend VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions.

The team arrived on time, completed the project as scheduled, and even reinstalled my fence--all within budget. This wasn't my first time working with them. I previously hired them in the summer of 2021 for a retaining wall and French drain installation. Their pricing and quality workmanship brought me back, and I'm glad I chose them again. I've already been in touch with them about future driveway and concrete work because I know they'll do a great job. If you're looking for reliable, professional, and fairly priced work, I definitely recommend VM Drainage and Erosion.

It was a massive undertaking and I'm glad that I got a quote from Virginia Drainage and Erosion. I would definitely recommend them to at least come and give you a quote. The pricing is reasonable for my project.

My sump pump discharged a significant amount of water, which created ice on the street during the winter and damaged my lawn. I also asked them to address a small uneven area around my sprinkler system. The team explained that they would regrade the area, use my existing soil, and plant grass seed, which I was completely comfortable with. They completed the entire project in just one day. At the end of the day, they sent photos of the finished work to the owner. Although I thought everything looked great, the owner wasn't satisfied with the appearance of the hay covering the newly seeded area. Even though installing sod was outside the original scope of work and would have been a much more expensive solution, he decided to go above and beyond. The very next day, he sent his crew back with fresh topsoil and sod at no additional cost. They added topsoil around my home to improve the grading and ensure water would drain away from the foundation. They even moved my stacked firewood, added topsoil underneath it, and carefully put everything back in place. When they finished, they watered all of the new sod, adjusted my sprinkler heads to ensure proper coverage, and thoroughly cleaned up the work area. My yard honestly looks better now than it did before they started. Premium Drainage was not the cheapest quote I received, but they were also not the most expensive. What set them apart was their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to doing the job right. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for drainage work or landscaping improvements.

He was easy to contact and came to our home to provide a free estimate of our project. I really appreciate that he listened to our ideas but also gave his professional opinion on changes we could do. The process of scheduling to receiving the invoice to then getting the work completed was seamless. We had our driveway changed from asphalt to concrete as well as expanded. We also expanded our patio and added a concrete pathway from the front to the back of the house. Then we had a retaining wall built and had some drainage issues resolved. Lastly, we had flagstones added to the concrete. Adrian and his team not only did a wonderful job but went above and beyond to make our home look beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone looking for work done and plan to use them for future problems!

We recently installed French drains through Exterior Waterproofing Experts after getting four estimates total and I will say outright this company is the most knowledgeable of any I had interviewed. One of the owners is a hydrologist and he is part of Clifton Contracting. They brought up how you shouldn't do a runoff close to the street because it causes ice on the road which no other company had mentioned. He told me how they install legs in the ground and addition to the main ditches to help distribute water better. And we made a plan to do a u shape around the house with two pits underground that replace above ground stone pits we had before. They installed pop-up drain outs near the front and after two heavy rains I'm already impressed of how well the system dries out compared to before. They also do a lot of outdoor landscaping, patio work, outdoor spaces and more. I was incredibly impressed with them. Feel free to DM me if you want me to discuss who else I interviewed. Also now is the great time to do it because it's "winter" and prices are lower than when they would be during normal times. Highly recommend. Contact Evan at 571-599-0528. He texts too.

Tom, the scheduler, explained the entire process and answered all of my questions. The followup communication was excellent. David, the craftsman, did an absolutely outstanding job and thoroughly cleaned up after he completed the dry wall replacement and painting work on the kitchen ceiling; and the cauking of the 2nd floor bathroom tub and the base of the toilet. Both Tom ands David were quite friendly, and really knew their business. The final price for everything that I agreed to have David complete was acceptable and well worth the cost.

I appreciated the strong communication from the scheduling team, the fact that our tech was timely,…read moreprofessional, and did good quality work. But, I felt like the company exploits the hourly fee by including unloading their car, loading it back up (in multiple trips) and whatever the hell paperwork is happening on the ipad. I'd estimate that we paid an extra $300 or so for things that they do to try to add time. Some of the work took far longer than it should. Somehow our tech spent two hours installing less than 2 feet of floor molding, when we already had it. So, we paid like $400 something for what should be maybe a $150, or max $200 project. Plus they look for other ways to make a project take far longer. When we had to order a door, the staff was like "we'll pick it up for you from the warehouse" -- it was 45 minutes away from our home and would have cost us hundreds, when it turns out the company they purchased it from could easily deliver it for $7. Hambelton didn't even give me that option til I fought for it. I also told our tech not to bother doing certain things (like clean), and since he insisted, I offered our own shop vac, and he refused to use it, instead going down to his car to get more of his own tools/supplies. So cool, another $50 for some cleaning that would have taken me like 2 min. There was even dumb stuff, like the company made me pay for our tech's parking meter because the contract (which you don't sign until after paying the non refundable deposit, says that you must guarantee parking for your tech). It wasn't necessarily about the money there, it was just annoying that they cannot accept the cost of doing business. For that reason, I'm not sure I would use Hambelton again. I don't mind paying for good work, but, again, this just felt exploitive. But, if you truly don't care about price, Hambelton was reliable, and did good work (which, admittedly is rare for handymen).
