Client testimonials

What Cleveland homeowners say

★★★★★

I highly recommend Drain Designs of Cleveland if you have a problem with water in your yard or around the foundation of your home. Drew and John are the professionals who operate this business. Together, they are invested in the success of Drain Designs and it shows in their work. They analyzed my water problem, explained their proposals, and the methodology behind it. Drew and John are even the guys who performed the actual work! Drain Designs was always punctual with our appointments and cleaned up after their work. They are committed to seeing your problem resolved. If they take you on as a client, you can rest assured that Drain Designs will stand by their warranty. After all, I had to use it! They replaced my downspout drains and installed a new yard drain on my property. After giving it some time to see results, my water problem was not 100% rectified. They returned several times to modify and improve the water plan for my home. They didn’t quit until they got the water problem under control. If you’ve been told by the so-called ‘waterproofing experts’ that drilling holes in your basement walls to let the water flow into a sump pump is what you need, then call Drain Designs for a second opinion. If you believe that the best way to handle unwanted water is to get it away from your home, instead of letting it in, then call Drain Designs because they believe the same!

I had a persistent water seepage issue in my basement, and Drain Designs of Cleveland proved to be the solution I needed! Their prompt inspection identified our drainage problems, and their hydro jetting service effectively cleared the blockages. The technicians were professional, equipped with advanced tools, and ensured a thorough cleaning of the drains. What impressed me most was their commitment to customer satisfaction—they kept me informed and addressed all my concerns. Since their service, my basement has remained dry, even in heavy rains. Drain Designs of Cleveland is an efficient and reliable solution for anyone dealing with basement waterproofing challenges. I highly recommend their expertise for a lasting fix.
