They came, they tackled and they conquered. Now we wait for the firmament to validate the work done.
As for us, we are extremely pleased at the professionalism displayed by the entire crew. There was no lollygagging. Unlike in the past where the job estimator was no where near the work site, Andrew was onsite directing his team.
Why was this work necessary? My trifling HOA went from regarding the constant yearly flooding of my home by the poorly maintained swales as a non-issue to promising a fix which is yet to come after 4 years of documented notification.
In a bid to arrest the unhealthy condition, continued damage to our property and prevent injury, we deemed it necessary to fork out the funds and have Classic Drainage rescue our sanity.
To combat our problem, Andrew designed the replacement of the existing 2 inch patio channel drain connected to a 2 inch pvc pipe with a 10 inch channel drain whose content would be ferried away by two 4 inch (total of 8 inches) pvc pipes. To further supplement all of this, he added a 5 inch channel drain along the fence line from which we were getting flooded by the community's dirty water during every heavy rainfall. He also removed a massive stump in our yard, aided us with the removal of another destructive tree and finished off the installation of the drain box (catch basin) that another contractor had defaulted on.
They were careful to protect the yard, the play equipment on it and my vegetable garden. When they were done, they decorated the exit site of the drain with river rocks, reseeded the lawns and made attempts at washing the parking lot of the hideous clay that had migrated there from our property.
All in all, even as we wait for the next heavy rain with some mixed feelings (you have no idea what we've been thru), we feel very blessed to have had Andrew respond to our clarion call for help.
I will continue to update this post as things unfold.
