I don't normally write reviews, but Richard, Jenny and their team are exceptional and worthy of this review. They are professional, knowledgeable and fair. They worked with us to replace our old, collapsing concrete drain pipes. Having just moved into our new home, we did not have perimeter drains in the budget. Richard and Jenny went out of their way to ensure we had the system we needed by guiding us to do some of the work ourselves. They are reliable, and understand what it means to be part of a community. We give them the highest recommendation.

Richard and his partner came and scoped our drains and showed us exactly what was happening to cause the flooding that we had in our basement. They told us what we should consider doing right away, what could be done in stages and what was fine and didn't need any replacement - we really appreciated this honesty and that there was no attempt to have us replace drains that were still in good condition. The quote to do the work was very reasonable. They showed up on the appointed date and the crew worked hard through some terrible weather to get the job done in under the estimated time frame. They
