We could not be happier with our major drainage project.

Jaris and his team arrived and quickly set to work connecting the downspouts into one large 6 in. system for drainage, including multiple clean outs and two AC drains! The entire system is below ground and they even had to run the pipe through a brick wall during their effort. Their professional demeanor and can-do attitude was above most contractors I've encountered in the greater Raleigh area- a real pleasure for us... thanks especially to Pablo and crew... well done, Gentlemen!

We had Drain Designs install several systems to get rid of water flowing down hill toward our house…read moreand side yard. Robert, the owner, was amazing. He explained the way the water was flowing and affecting our crawl space and yard. And he showed us exactly how his designs would take care of the problems. He really knows his stuff because he's been in the business for a long time. We wanted the most reputable company designing and building our drainage system because a wet/damp crawl space is bad for our family's health. A lot of the air you breath comes from the crawl space. So keeping mold and other unhealthy stuff out of our family's lungs is important to us. Knowing that we'll be breathing healthy air from now gives us peace of mind. He and his crew were professional, friendly, and easy to talk with. They really looked after our yard while working and cleaned up fully before they left. As a former business owner myself, I could tell Robert and his crew took pride in their work and worked to build and keep our trust. Their lifetime warranty is a huge plus. They use the highest grade materials and have a unique patented drainage system that really protects our house and crawl space and yard. Some of the other companies we talked to didn't seem to. We can actually use the parts of our yard now that were soggy for days after it rained. And our crawl space is dry and healthy now.

Over a few years, what started as "Hmm, I thought that would be dry by now" turned into "I guess…read moreour yard will just be soup for the next week". We got quotes from a few drainage companies to help try to solve our issues, but the biggest difference between Drain Designs (Durham) and their competitors was the bidding process: They charged for the quote. Because of that, they did the most thorough job by far, inspecting what was going on with our yard, existing piping, etc. They uncovered things that other companies missed, and spent more time than any of the rest discussing with us what they thought should be addressed, and why. Ultimately, that quote charge got rolled into the job, so it ended up being free. Once the work started, there were a few additional hiccups that were uncovered, primarily around the usability of existing piping (which we had discussed as a possibility beforehand), that caused the plans to change early on, but Robert was very transparent with us, and though the cost went up a bit, we felt like the adjustments were reasonable. Near the end of the multi-day job, a tropical storm rolled through, and the crew were out here until nightfall trying to get as much done as possible ahead of the storm; we really appreciated the extra effort they put in. And Robert even came out on a Sunday to finish the job by himself. Overall, we were incredibly impressed by their thoroughness, transparency, and the quality of their work -- our backyard is actually usable again the day after a heavy rainfall, and we couldn't be happier.

Nonetheless, our contact person Madeleine and her crew came out to assess our foundation and cracks and some mold from the humidity in the crawlspace. In the end we went with mold remediation, a sump pump, new vapor barrier, joist lifts, and air sealing to keep out the creepy crawlies. Big ticket expense, but when compared to the competition, we went with them because of the thoroughness with the estimate interview and the willingness to answer all of our questions, they were also well-spoken of on other review sites including a popular large community message board, and the price was pretty comparable. Also, the crew was very good. My only ding would be was not putting the items in the crawlspace back in the order that it was originally, which saved space. But to add to their credit, we have one additional project that needs to be done outside of Little Corner's scope and the new company took a look at Little Corner's work and said "They did a very good job, this is how we would have done it." I think that speaks well of them as a whole. They may not be the biggest company, but they are professional, kind, and diligent about their work. Thank you, Madeleine and crew.

Given the age of our home, and the poor state of said pipes, we had a major water issue with excess water in the yard, by the foundation and entering the basement. Lindsley developed several rounds of proposals that would fit our needs and budget and followed through with excellent work. A full team was at our home working for about 6 days and the end result is better than we could have ever anticipated. One major selling point for us was the warranty. We gathered many quotes and the sheer size of our job meant we were going to spend a lot no matter what. It was reassuring to have a Jim available to answer any questions and a project manager on site (Rodger) who checked in regularly throughout the project and made sure we were comfortable with everything that was happening. Overall this was a great experience! Highly recommend to anyone facing similar drainage issues.

Lindsley Waterproofing, Inc. did a job for me in 2002 with 15 helical piers, sump pump, etc. major…read morerepair! With our alternating extreme droughts and heavy rains, my house had a weak spot that continued to show movement. Jim Lindsley, true to his warranty, monitored the movement regularly and made some adjustments to the piers. Finally this year we discovered the horrible fact that the weak spot did not have a pier supporting it. Digging through the paper work from the past, I discovered the engineer's report which recommended 15 piers as compared to Jim's original plan of 13, focused mainly on the north end of the house where the big sinking was going on. The engineer had spread out the placement of the piers, but sadly left the weakest spot unsupported. I had ordered this engineer's report to be safe, but what cruel irony that his plan was wrong! Jim's original drawing would have protected my house so much better. I am sorry Jim gave in to the engineer's plan, but when you consider that now all these jobs are supposed to have an engineer's report, it puts the foundation companies in a hard place--look at this example. I recognize that there are many excellent engineers, but it's like the doctor joke: what do you call the lowest ranking student among the medical school graduates? "Doctor." Sometimes the people on the job with the experience DO know more than the "experts." In my case the engineer gets by with no consequences whatsoever. I'm the one who has to pay the higher price for the repair, but Jim Lindsley is giving me a discount for his part in the mistake of having followed the engineer's plan instead of his instincts. I find this honorable and decent. - Cecilia E. April 24. 2017
