Client testimonials

What Youngstown-Warren homeowners say

★★★★★

I can’t say enough about how professional and efficient the team at Drain Designs was. We were dealing with constant water pooling in our backyard that turned into a swamp after every rainfall. Nathan and his crew showed up on time, gave us a detailed plan, and within a week, our drainage issue was completely resolved. The lawn has stayed dry ever since, and the yard looks better than ever. Highly recommend!

Tracy H., Youngstown, OH
★★★★★

After a heavy storm flooded our basement for the second time, I knew we needed a permanent solution. A friend recommended Drain Designs, and I’m so glad they did. Nathan was incredibly knowledgeable, explained all of our options clearly, and had his team install a full waterproofing system and exterior drains around our foundation. It’s been months, and not a single drop of water has come in since. Worth every penny!
