The team installed a french drain along our back and side yard. This solution has greatly improved our previous water issues/soggy backyard and the overlaying rocks look great as well! We also had the team replace a large concrete section of our driveway.During each project, the team was courteous of the property and cleaned up the area well. Leo did a great job on the recommendations and estimates, and provided clear and concise explanations/updates each work day. VM Drainage is very responsive on updates and questions through phone calls or emails (thanks Nathalia and Leo)!Highly recommend for french drain solutions and concrete placement! read less

Leo, the estimator, walked me through everything and explained the process thoroughly. After interviewing the other bidders, we selected VM to perform the work. They proposed installing a trenched French drain system with connected downspouts and sump pump discharge. A dry creek bed would be installed to catch any runoff from a hill on our backyard. Two downspouts in front of our home would have pop up drains installed to redirect water away from our driveway and foundation. VM would install flagstone pavers as a walking path around the yard and river stone elsewhere above an erosion control fabric. They drew up a sketch and provided sample photos of their work to help gain HOA approval.The project itself was supposed to take three or four days. Before starting work, Leo walked me through the process and made sure everything was installed according to the project specifications. He made sure I would be satisfied before the project would be considered complete. Leo was in constant contact and could be reached via phone or text. He responded to requests (like moving a pop up drain slightly to ensure it didn't go onto my neighbor's property) very quickly.There was an issue during the install that required a repair to our irrigation system that VM could not fix on their own (severed control cable). This delayed the project by about a week or so. VM stayed true to the project, insisted that they would fully pay for the repairs--and they did--and the process was extremely easy. Their staff were excellent, professional, and kept the work area clean and safe throughout. They even installed a couple extra pavers at my request to make it easier to walk onto the drainage area.All in all I was happy to hire them despite the hiccup and would recommend them to others. Simply fantastic job. read less

After met Jose, VM Drainage's manager/lead inspector on my property, Jose sent me the VM Drainage and Erosion Solution's estimate a couple days later via email in a PDF file. I realized the advantage of VM Drainage's solutions, which contain separate options of French Drain and Swale, as well as Downspouts. The description of each solution is clear, easy to understand, and with a price per option. I later requested pictures for each solution and VM Drainage were glad to provide me. So, what I got were clear options/solutions with all work items, a flat and reasonable price for each solution, and with pictures to visualize the solution.Other contractors will give you a complex pricing structure with a rather long list of handwritten prices of many work items that are not easy to understand and hard to put together the work items you want.VM Drainage's crew came out on time, started working, and were not wasting anytime. With less than two days, my French Drain is in shape and then completed. The work quality is the best from what I have reviewed online at various websites. After my French Drain was done, the crew put grass/seeds in, and cleaned up the surrounding of the French Drain nicely.Because they did such a great job, I asked Jose to elevate and fixed my pathway from driveway to front door and they got it done and pathway looks much better and very nice.After all work completed, Jose came and walked through/inspected everything with me. He found that the driveway has a bit of residual dry mud. He brought the crewed back the next day and washed of the mud and cleaned the driveway.What a group of nice, honest, hardworking people! I don't think my review here did the justice for VM Drainage, leader Jose, the crew, the quality work, and the beautiful French Drain that we wanted.We would recommend VM Drainage and Erosion Solution! You got to check them out and you will be glad like me! read less

Both times we used them they have delivered fantastic results. Jose has a deep understanding of waterproofing basements and I can confidently say their process works. Their team is very professional and works quickly to get the job done. The next time I'm faced with a drainage issue the first company I'm going to call is VM Drainage! read less

Jose is an expert and came up with a creative solution to address my need, including minimizing risk to trees, digging the drain under my deck and connecting the drain to a down spout and sump pump drain. Price was competitive and fair. As a bonus he connected me with a plumber to replace my water heater. Highly recommended! read less

VM Drainage was wonderful to work with from start to finish, gave a reasonable price and helped me determine the most cost effective solution (2 additional 6" pipes and one with a drain basin), and ended up doing really excellent work that involved digging a trench, breaking up concrete, adding 2 pipes, pouring new cement, adding earthwork, and laying down riverjack. In particular Leo was great to work with and the team on-site addressed some comments and gave me a superb finished project that we expect (fingers crossed) will solve our drainage problem and also looks great. read less

They listened to our concerns with the area (not leveled, muddy) and proposed a gravel square where we can set the new shed with hard base. The estimate was thorough and fair. We were asked how many of the old materials we wanted to salvage and the VM drainage team proposed ideas for how to use the salvaged materials within this project elsewhere on the property. The end product is exactly as they promised. They placed decorative stones around the base to help with drainage and installed a discreet French drain underneath to channel water away from the area. Very pleased with the look of the end result. The crew that handled the project took feedback well and were dedicated to finishing even after a problem with what they found underneath the old pavers arose. Would definitely recommend for various drainage and landscaping projects. read less

Our home is a 60-year-old ranch that had been developing water infiltration issues in the basement over the past couple... read moreOur home is a 60-year-old ranch that had been developing water infiltration issues in the basement over the past couple years. The water issues included: damp basement walls; efflorescence residue on basement walls; occasional water seepage along the basement wall/floor interface; foundation drain water backup during heavy rains; minor basement wall cracks, and soil subsidence in areas around the house perimeter. We decided to identify a contractor that could best address these issues before they became problems. Knowing that the project would be quite extensive we contacted a number of water proofing contractors to access the existing conditions, make recommendations, and provide proposals. All of the contractors contacted agreed that preventative measures needed to be taken but provided different approaches in their proposals on how to remedy the water infiltration issue and at varying costs.After careful review of all of the estimates we found that VM Drainage & Erosion Solutions' proposal, completed by Mr. Jose Montalvo was the best at addressing and fixing the underlying problem at the source on the outside of the house, the most cost effective, and provided the most value added. Jose's proposal was well written and by far the most detailed and comprehensive when compared to all of the other submissions. Broken down into stand-alone work elements with associated costs, Jose's proposal was also broad in scope covering the electrical and HVAC sub-tasks associated with the project as well as landscaping and hardscaping options not covered or addressed in other proposals.VM Drainage & Erosion Solutions started the project on schedule with site prep, equipment and materials staging. The construction crew would arrive on time, conduct themselves in a professional manner, were well organized, and respectful of the neighborhood. The site (yard) was kept clean, well-organized, and materials, refuse, and equipment would be delivered/removed in a timely fashion. Daily crew size would vary depending on the task at hand. Large crews during major site work to minimize unavoidable disruptions during large excavation work and smaller crews during finish work. Excellent balance of crew size and requisite site work. It was obvious that this team, under Jose's leadership has worked together many years based on the well-choreographed and seamless manner with which they worked. I was impressed at how focused the team was on delivering a quality product. In addition to ensuring that all construction activities were conducted in accordance with standard industry practice, minor details would receive as much attention as the major construction activities. The entire team obviously takes pride in their craft and are focused on providing superior quality service.It should be noted that during the excavation of the perimeter of the house breeches in the existing water proofing were clearly visible when the exterior walls were exposed and the foundation drain was found to be 100 percent blocked. These conditions were entirely consistent with Jose's assessment made during his initial survey and a testament to his knowledge and understanding of foundation and water management issues.Having experience in overseeing and managing numerous construction projects and working with large and small construction contractors throughout the course of my career I have found VM Drainage & Erosion Solutions to be a truly exceptional contractor. Being a family-owned business, I found them to be extremely responsive and agile while also having the wherewithal and capacity to bring the requisite resources to manage and execute a large project. I cannot express how pleased we are with the quality and breadth of their work and plan on using their services to install a new concrete/flagstone driveway. It was truly a delight to have had the opportunity to work with Jose and his team and look forward to working with him again this spring. read less

They were booked out more than two months but said they would try to fit us in on a Sunday. They ended up being able to come much earlier than expected and knocked out the job in a day. One thing that set them apart from the other drainage companies we contacted was they were full service. The job required the removal of patio pavers and unlike the others they put the pavers back when they were done. Their price was fair and their work was solid. I will definitely cal them again for my next drainage or erosion project. read less

Rain water was settling in one section of my yard and when that area filled the additional precipitation would run down the side yard washing away lawn and soil. I tried a several home center solutions, but they were inadequate. VM Drainage proposed a combination of surface catch basins, an open French drain, covered French drain, and an underground pipe to a safe location for the water to run off. It was a complex solution that was competitively priced. I received a clear contract, the job was completed on time, and VM Drainage had sufficient staff on site to complete the job.

I also had a problem with water filling the stairwell of my walkup basement and coming in under the door.This company is just the best.I found VM Drainage because my daughter used them in Mount Vernon, VA to install French drains. That is exactly what I needed. They came on time to provide the quote. They came on time to perform the work, which was extensive. They worked hard for a few days and were extremely professional and cautious with my property. I was concerned about all the digging that was required. They did it all by hand. They cut my sod out. They carefully put it back when done. They added sod to areas that needed it.They cut a slot in the bottom of my stairwell and installed a long drain.We have had heavy rains since they did their work. There is no standing water and my stairwell is dry. I made a huge investment and it paid off.My property value just went up because of their professional work.Thank you. read less

M Drainage & Erosion Solutions LLC" under the supervision of Dave Robey. We asked Mr. Robey to explain to the different options to resolve the erosion problem that we've had in our backyard for years. He explained all options and he used calibrated equipment to calculate the ground inclination to confirm to us that his proposal work would transfer all the rain water away into the street and therefore the soil erosion problem would be minimized. He also prepared a "schematic" diagram showing three water collection spots, the location of the "PVC" pipes and the inter connection of the house downspout into this pipeline . We had tried mulch, planting grass, pachysandras and putting rocks with no success in preventing soil erosion in our backyard.In my opinion, "V M Drainage & Erosion Solutions LLC" under the supervision of Dave Robey and his crew ("Leo, Kevin and Isaias) have transformed my backyard into nice area with no water drainage problems. They do high quality work!V. M Drainage & Erosion Solutions LLC, your staff is very reliable and responsible and delivered top quality work.

VM Drainage helped control the water flow from an adjacent hill which worked wonderfully in 2018, the wettest year on record in NOVA. They installed two French drains and put underground pipes in from my downspouts. The results speak for themselves- no flooded basement or mushy yard!About 6 months after the install, one of the gutter / downspout underground pipes started clogging and I asked VM Drainage to come out and troubleshoot. Turns out there was an issue with the pipe and they fixed the problem without charge. They left the worksite clean and the communication with the foreman, Jose, went well.

A max score of '5 Stars' alone doesn't do full justice to this team. Jose was professional, proactive, prompt, and precise in all he did to solve our drainage and erosion problem in our side/backyard. From the start, he ensured clear communications of expectations and delivered in every way. Installation of 2 French drains, catch basin, drainpipe, 2 downspout extensions, retaining wall, river rock and re-leveling the patio were all the best we have experienced in more than 30 years of homeownership. Also, they were very cautious working around our in-ground sprinkler system--no issues whatsoever. And he's willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction -- a quality that is hard to find nowadays. Without reservation, we will call VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions LLC again for any of our drainage, erosion or waterproofing needs in the future and forgo getting 3 estimates from others. We trust them that much! Way to go Jose and Team! read less

Jose and his company are also insured and understand the municipal permitting system of VA.

Adrian ensured that his team did the work right and surprised and delighted with some small details. I live in Reston and we have some pretty strict design guidelines; downspouts matching trim color, gravel color, mulch type, etc. Because our downspout had to be painted a certain color I told Adrian I would handle it myself after they finished. Adrian had his team color match the trim and painted the downspout outside of the original scope of work. That was a small example of about a half dozen times Adrian chose to do things the right way over the easy way. The biggest was completely redoing the PVC drainage work when they realized the slope was slightly less than their standard. My yard went from being a mess every time it rained to the best on the block, and it still looks great after a month of severe thunder storms. Thank you Adrian and team! read less

The yard used to flood with normal rain. Now, it doesn't even flood with light rain. The grass seed they put in seems to be taking very well. The work they do is quality. If you use them, though, I would focus strongly on communication about the materials used. The flagstones they put in were not as wide as promised in the contract, but they were high quality and well installed. (Embedded in the dirt below the stones in the walk). I would have knocked off a star for the discrepancy in the width of the stones, but they were reasonable and discounted the work because of the smaller width of the stones. read less

They also performed tree removal at a very good price. I definitely recommend this company. I would give them a 10 star rating instead of 5 stars! read less

Since they solved our problem, there have been a number of heavy storms in our area. At no time did we experience drainage difficulties as we had before VM Drainage came to fix the problem. I fully recommend this company for its quality professional work and careful attention to clients' needs--Ed THaymarket, VA read less

After several estimates, I was, by far, the most comfortable with VM Drainage. Adrian, our estimator, was very friendly, informative and thorough. He answered all of my questions from start to finish. The digging crew was very professional and efficient. They worked quietly and neatly. The office staff was very responsive and timely with all written and spoken communication. After this past Monday morning's crazy torrential downpour, there were no puddles in our yard ... at all - yes! read less

All of our efforts to fix the rather substantial problem on our own had failed so we finally decided to bring in a contractor to do what needed to be done to stop the damage before it got any worse. We ended up getting five different proposals and decided to engage VM Drainage & Erosion to do the work. This work was going to cost us a good deal so we were very apprehensive about making the investment and getting satisfaction. We could not have been more pleased with our decision. They did the work exactly as outlined in the original proposal with no surprises once things got started. They came when they said they would and finished on time. Jose kept us informed on the progress all the way through the process and answered any and all questions we asked clearly and honestly. The finished product(s) really did exceed our expectations and only made us wish we had not put off the work for so long. The crew did their work efficiently and did an excellent job of cleaning up when they were finished. We have already engaged VM to do some additional work now that we have found a firm that is competent and trustworthy. We can confidently recommend them to anyone. read less

A small retaining wall was needed on one side of the house with build up of dirt and decoration with river rock. Also, we redirected downspouts through pipes VM buried underground for several feet. VM did this work with a crew of 5 in short order and even replanted grass seed. Nothing left for us to do except water the new grass. Everyone was great, some even carried bags of mulch to help with a flower bed that got disturbed. Not a single plant was lost. These guys worked with gusto the entire time, including the foreman, Jose. Couldn't be happier with the work. read less

It's only been a bit over a month since the work was performed, but so far we've had no issues. Jose and crew were on time and they exceeded our expectations regarding how quickly they could perform the work we needed done. We had cracks in our foundation on one side of the house that they dug fully out, including digging out a window well, water proofed/fixed cracks, put everything back, and regraded the yard on both sides of our homes that have window wells. I'll follow-up as time passes, but so far we're quite happy. read less

He thought through my needs and listened to my concerns. I had 300 feet of french drains installed and stepping stones. The drains are working as they should.

The office lady is super organized and efficient, the guy who they sent on the job is my new favorite person. They rerouted our sump pump. It was good where it was but we have had 20 fold the rain and the area it was draining to can't handle the floods. So they hand dug it, under the tree roots, and under my curb and to the street with a popup. I wish they did other work and construction work, etc because I would hire this team 100 times over. This is the first contractor we hired for anything that left us feeling like we really had a great experience. They were honest, police, fair, and they helped us to know what we should do. Without them, my yard would have slid down the hill. read less

Although they did miss an appointment as others have said it was just a missed communication and they did not have my cell to contact me. They were very apologetic and rescheduled. The work was all done by hand to minimized disruption to our yard. The price was very reasonable as compared to other companies and we are very satisfied with the work. read less

A second bidder didn't even bother to call me back, and the third bidder gave me an estimate that was 4.5 times MORE than the cost presented by VM. Granted that the third bidder threw in an unnecessary "third" french drain along three neighboring properties adjacent to ours, nevertheless his bid was clearly not competitive. When the VM team showed up, they set to work immediately, proceeding to dig190 feet of french drain and to install rain downspout connections from six roof downspouts to the overall drainage system. My wife and I couldn't believe how efficient the team was. They never stopped working, or so it seemed, as they didn't appear to even stop for a lunch break. Whereas the work was scheduled to require 3 days of effort, VM completed the entire project in just under 2.0 days. In sum, the job was done exactly according to the Contract's Scope of Work. The team was courteous and efficient, and obviously knew what they were doing. We 'almost' welcomed the significant rain that came shortly after job completion, just to see if the project took care of our problem. Sure enough, we were immensely relieved to know that all of our roof water was headed straight - underground in the new french drain system - to the storm sewer located at the far corner of our lot. Definitely recommend VM Drainage & Erosion Solutions, including reasonability of pricing. read less

I agree with the others that scheduling can be very challenging. It took us 3 scheduled visits (where no one showed up), to get the work underway. That said, the job itself was completed very well, everyone is very friendly, and if nature requires - I will be a repeat customer. read less

I had a little trouble getting a response because VM Drainage was very busy at the time, but eventually, they came and surveyed my property. They came up with a great solution to remove the fallen wall and put in a better one with effective drainage for my property. The wall they put in is made of 6" X 6"s with deadman posts every 10ft, a 6" drain pipe, 2 french drains, lots of gravel, and separate drain lines for my gutter downspouts. It is an excellent design and solution. They also raised ground levels around my house by adding soil where erosion had occurred. And they planted grass in all the areas that needed patching because of erosion and the wall coming down. The quality of their work is outstanding in everything they do. read less

I had water coming in during heavy rainfalls. VM Drainage brought a large number of workers for the 2 days it took to do the job. The contract was for 3 days, so I was happy to have it done in 2. The workers dug down 5 feet to the bottom of the basement wall and did the proper application of materials to seal the basement. They put the dirt back in place, and added back the stones which they had set aside when starting the job. The work is warranted for 10 years. In addition, they took out a jacuzzi tub and took it to the dump and put cement in that area to match up with the rest of my patio.They cleaned up after the project. I am very pleased and would certainly recommend them.Marie Chaillet read less

They also provided a perfect drain system thst was labor intensive.They also replaced portions of my deck. Which looks really great. These guys are very honest, hard working, friendly and best priced. What I can conclude is this. After a tough job of 8 hours. I saw the owner, Jose, take so much pride in providing customer satisfaction. He took 30 minutes to clean up all areas his team worked on carefully. This is well run business. 5/5 Very highly recommended. read less

They came on time, and conducted a drainage and landscape evaluation in my property. The next day I got a really detailed estimate listing all the jobs I needed to get done, their price,the reason why they're necessary, and an explanation of how they would get them done. I truly enjoyed the personalized customer care I received... However, I'm someone who likes to get the most out of my money, so what I'm most happy about is their prices! They are WAY WAY cheaper than all the other companies I called and every job comes with a 2 year warranty! I highly recommend this company. Affordable, professional and fast, what else can one ask for ? I'm super satisfied with their service and I will definitely be hiring them back. I'm happy I found them. read less
