Drainage & Erosion Solutions

Drainage & Erosion Solutions (DES) is a trusted company that specializes in assessing and repairing drainage and erosion issues for both residential and commercial properties. They are a design-build firm with engineering and contracting divisions. The team at DES includes full-time employees known for their technical knowledge, attention to detail, and excellent customer service. One satisfied customer found DES through the Fairfax County Best Picks report and other reviews. Their house, built in 1948, had a recurring basement flooding issue that needed urgent attention. The owner of DES, David, visited the property the next day, assessed the problem, and promptly sent a plan. Despite challenging weather conditions, his crew worked tirelessly to install two sump pumps, new window wells, underground piping for gutters, and a French drain in the backyard. The customer was impressed with the quality of work and the professionalism of the team, especially Gerardo, Rogelio, and Jessica from the office. Another customer experienced water seeping into their basement during heavy rains and turned to DES for help. After getting several proposals from different companies, they chose DES because of their less extensive and more cost-effective approach. The crew replaced one window well, raised the bricks on another, and after numerous heavy rains and snow, there has been no further water intrusion. They appreciated the professionalism and responsiveness of the DES team. Recent reviews highlight the team’s professionalism and trustworthiness. Customers mentioned that after receiving multiple quotes, they chose DES for water seepage issues and water re-direction measures. The work included re-doing a front walk with flagstone, and after two months, there has been no water inside the house, and everything looks great. One customer shared that, almost two months after backyard work, their children can now play outside on a rainy day, thanks to the solutions designed by David and his team. They appreciated that the team stayed true to their estimate and timeline and would recommend DES to anyone facing water issues, especially in complex areas like Alexandria.
