Driveway cracks, severe spalling and uneven slabs.

I am pleased to update this and report that upon another call to JES and further discussion JES has agreed to address this issue. John Dunn paid a visit to our home to assess the driveway. His attitude from the very beginning of the visit was nothing short of positive. He was puzzled as to the condition of the concrete and took more pictures. On the spot he promised he would take care of this. True to his word we heard later that he had gotten approval to fix the driveway. Thank you to John for being persistent and customer oriented. 4 stars only because of the initial reception as first reported.

The scheduler lying about the inspector being sick.

I had an estimate scheduled for 9am on Saturday, July 26. At 7:55 and 8:22 am I received texts from 2 different numbers at the company saying they had to reschedule, but with different excuses for the last second inconvenience. The technician said they were double booked, the scheduling person said the technician was sick. So already the company's scheduling/salespeople have no problem with lying up front to a new customer's face. I appreciate the technician being honest, and would have much preferred just being told the truth: that it was double booked. They asked me to reschedule to Monday, July 28 at 2pm. I agreed and asked both numbers to confirm the new appointment, which both did. It is Monday, no one showed up at 2pm and when I called the company at ~5pm to see where they were I was told I wasn't on their schedule. You can see the confirmation of the 2pm rescheduled appointment in both screen shots. Thank you to the inspector who was honest. If they punish you for this and you see the review, please let me know. You did the right thing here. I waited weeks for this appointment. Don't waste your time and look elsewhere. Attached are screenshots of the texts mentioned in the review.

Crawl space and exterior waterproofing

Abdul Jalloh did a great job doing the waterproofing work in my basement. Was quick, easy, and not trying to hard sell me. Great experience

Fixed cracked/bowing foundational wall. Is no longer bowed, has carbon fiber straps. Sump pump & moisture abatement.

Springfield, VA. Quality work, friendly & professional people, competitive price for foundation wall repair. A cracked foundation wall was scary and seemed monumental. JES' attitude was reassuring, "No problem, we can fix that." JES was recommended to me by a retired county building inspector as doing excellent work. Not only was the final result quality (braced a cracked, bowing foundation wall with carbon fiber straps & I beams & mitigated leaking in basement with sump pump), everyone I interacted with was friendly & professional. Macon P. (field inspector) understood we needed specific items addressed to satisfy for a loan and was able to create a repair plan for that. I appreciated his sense of county permit wait times and our project deadline. (A different company quoted a 2x cost plan with unnecessary features than we needed). Thanks to the amazing crew run by Abdul W. Abdul explained everything that was happening at each stage. He was the best on-site contact. The crew worked so hard removing some unexpected obstacles. (Freddy Z Walter Z Daniel C Vilton C) Thanks Nicole H for resending copies of the paperwork I needed and Belle for keeping us informed on the permits. Thanks JES!

System has lifetime warranty, but the company who installed it many years ago suggested I have a plumber and a foundation specialist check it out before they come. If not there their issue under the warranty, there's a hefty charge. I contacted Randall, the owner of Basement Masters, who came out promptly, looked at old system, discussed concerns with warranty coverage I might encounter, and found no foundation cracks. He kindly offered to have me call him after the old company comes out to assess the issue. All done for no charge. You'll not do business with a more honest, reliable company. I highly recommend Basement Masters and Randall ,

I called BMW and Leah reassured me that they would make sure the problem was indeed related to water intrusion -- she asked lots of questions and I sent photos over and she told me she didn't think it was the problem. We finally found that a drain pipe coupling had failed. I was grateful that Leah was so honest and helpful at a time when we were really stressed out. In the end, we did not need BMW to do a job for us, but in the future I would not hesitate to reach out if we needed help with basement moisture.

The initial sales person was a classic over-seller and promised the world while simultaneously doing a very surface-level review of the situation, ultimately concluding that we were in need of an indoor water mitigation system and sump pump. The sales process was tortured, over-the-top, and ended with the classic "same-day-only discount" proposal (red flag number 1). The scheduling process and lead-up to the project was radio-silent with no preparation on what to do or what to expect from the project manager or the sales person until I reached out proactively. I had to call the morning the project was set to begin to even know if they were coming or not (red flag number 2). The project itself eventually began and within less than an hour it became obvious the source of the leak was in fact a burst pipe and not ground water coming in through the basement. I called the office and put a stop order on the work at which point they immediately became very cagey about what options were available to me and from this point on once again went radio silent (red flag number 3). Upon reaching out to the office multiple times (via both email and phone) to address the issue and seek at least a partial refund of our deposit for the issue, they took 3+ days to even respond, and when they did, claimed that despite obvious pictures pointing to the pipe being the issue, it could have been ground water at the same time and they were unable to provide any refund of any kind (red flag number 4). I get that I signed a contract. I get that they planned and scheduled the work. I also now have learned an expensive lesson about trusting my gut and being more proactive about my concerns. But they're supposed to be the experts! And the fact that they took absolutely no responsibility for having done a poor assessment of the situation up-front and then pretended like they were actually still right about it was disappointing and embarrassing. I can't in good faith recommend working with this company to anyone.

In 2021 they completed a waterproofing project which carries a 12 year warranty, and in 2022 they completed a patio installation which carries a 5 year warranty. As of April 22, 2026, VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions has not provided a solution to either of these problems. Our foundation wall was bowed before VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions excavated and waterproofed our home in 2021. We showed the bowed wall to VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions before the excavation began, and they recommended proceeding with the project without reinforcing the wall. We began to see small cracks in the foundation wall shortly after VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions completed the waterproofing. We showed the cracked wall to VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions before they installed our patio in 2022. VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions assured us that the cracks were not a problem. However, the cracks have grown substantially since then, and an independent structural engineer has confirmed that the wall is failing. In addition, the patio is sinking, the exterior waterproofing membrane is slipping, and there is a damp smell in our home near the cracked wall. In order to provide access to the cracked foundation wall for repairs, our patio will have to be removed, and the exterior of our home will have to be excavated again. Once the engineer's recommended repairs have been completed, the wall will have to be waterproofed again, and our yard will have to be regraded again. Finally, our patio will have to be reinstalled. We paid VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions to do all of this work in 2021 and 2022 because we trusted their professional opinion about our foundation wall. We now have to pay another contractor to do all of this work again so that our foundation wall can be reinforced. VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions has stated that they will not honor the warranty on the waterproofing project because the man who estimated the project is no longer employed by VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions. They have not provided details about how they will honor the warranty on the patio installation. We will update our review if VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions honors the warranties on their work. In the meantime, we cannot recommend VM Drainage and Erosion Solutions.

Adrian and his crew built a beautiful retaining wall along with a safe play pad/area for my grandchildren's playset. In the course of working on these drainage and erosion projects Adrian had the crew work on several other parts of my backyard that weren't even part of original agreed upon work. They put steps down into the play pad area for me since I have a mobility issue, they put down a steppingstone path and cleared an old fallen tree root ball with their mini excavator. When all the work was done ahead of schedule Adrian and his team continued to work hard to clean up the entire job site.

They didn't just throw gravel in a trench; they engineered a real solution. If you want the job done right, hire these guys! Great communication and the crew was very hardworking, professional and did excellent work - such a pleasure which is not common these days. They come HIGHLY recommended and I would definitely hire them again!

We recently installed French drains through Exterior Waterproofing Experts after getting four estimates total and I will say outright this company is the most knowledgeable of any I had interviewed. One of the owners is a hydrologist and he is part of Clifton Contracting. They brought up how you shouldn't do a runoff close to the street because it causes ice on the road which no other company had mentioned. He told me how they install legs in the ground and addition to the main ditches to help distribute water better. And we made a plan to do a u shape around the house with two pits underground that replace above ground stone pits we had before. They installed pop-up drain outs near the front and after two heavy rains I'm already impressed of how well the system dries out compared to before. They also do a lot of outdoor landscaping, patio work, outdoor spaces and more. I was incredibly impressed with them. Feel free to DM me if you want me to discuss who else I interviewed. Also now is the great time to do it because it's "winter" and prices are lower than when they would be during normal times. Highly recommend. Contact Evan at 571-599-0528. He texts too.

We live in DC and have a sump pump that exits our basement into our backyard. Over time, poor drainage, the sump pump outflow exit location, and a few other poorly executed landscaping design issues (put in place by the previous owner) rendered our backyard and side yards useless. Evan was quick to diagnose the root causes of each issue in each location and went above and beyond in his suggestions for remedies. His proposed solutions were functional and creative - he knows his stuff! His pricing was fair for the work scope as well, IMO. Santiago and team were excellent. They arrived timely and worked insanely hard. Further, they were so clean in their work. The hosed down and blew out the workspace after they finished each job in each space - this was very much appreciated. In addition, Santiago and crew went above and beyond my expectations in that they used leftover mulch to touch up a few beds not originally contemplated in the initial scope of work. Finally, upon final inspection, we noticed a few very minor items requiring additional follow up. Evan agreed to address each issue and sent his crew the same day to fix. I couldn't be happier with their work and hopefully, the pictures do their craftsmanship more justice than this review.
