In February 2010 my husband and I purchased our first home. Sadly, 4 months later he passed away tragically in an accident. Come my first very wet rainy fall, I saw I had a massive drainage problem. My main drain in front of my garage was not connected to any underground drain pipe and my garage was flooding with every rain. As I was now trying to maintain a house on my own, I was very nervous about hiring a drainage company that would not take advantage of me and the fact I had no knowledge of plumbing. I decided to get on the computer and research Drainage companies and read reviews. It didn't take me very long to come across Modern Drainage, a family company. Even though it was the beginning of the heavy rain season, Miranda, wife of the owner of the company made sure she had someone come out right away to have a look and 1 day later their crew was at my home and 2 days later I had a drain that actually drained and their fee was even less than the original quote, not to mention the fact that my yard didn't look like it had been touched. Over this last weekend, once again, I found myself with a massive leak, a waterline on the perimeter of my house line burst. I didn't even have to think about who to call. I picked up the phone and heard the sweet voice of Kayle, the daughter of Mike Hartman (the owner). I had someone at my house within 2 hours with much better news than anticipated. 3 hours after that, Mike had his now grown up son at my home connecting a hose from my neighbours so that I had water until they were able to fix the problem a few days later. Not only do I have new waterlines but a lawn and yard that looks even better than before! There is a reason why Modern Drainage is still serving the lower mainland since 1987. This is a wonderful FAMILY company who really does care about its clients and their homes. Thanks again Mike and your wonderful family and over the top professional crew at Modern Drainage! read more
