What Akron-Canton homeowners say
We recently had the pleasure of working with Drain Designs to fix a broken drainage pipe and we are very thankful that we chose them! From start to finish, Kevan was awesome! He responded to our inquiry right away and when I told him what issues we were having, he knew how to fix it. Kevan took the time to explain every detail, addressing all our concerns and offering advice to us as first time homeowners. Kevan’s knowledge of drainage systems gave us a lot of confidence that once they fixed our drainage pipe, our flooding issue would be fixed. He was right and he exceeded our expectations. We really appreciated the fact that he followed up after the job was completed to ensure that we were fully satisfied with the work and to address any remaining questions as well.
