Though I hope to never need a perimeter drain replacement again, if I do I will be calling Richard, Jenny and their crew to do the work.
I purchased an older home and learned the original tiles were in need of replacement. Richard and Jenny took me through the entire process and 'held my hand' so I felt comfortable with and understood the work that was going on.
There were some unforseen (and external) issues that ended up extending the job beyond the original timeframe but the year old quote came in on budget.
Island Perimeter Drains knows their stuff. They are calm, professional, friendly

Critical: Responsiveness
Contacted Richard's drains and made an appointment for inspection - no show and no call. Called the business (answering service) again and call not returned. Bad day all around for everyone I guess.

I don't normally write reviews, but Richard, Jenny and their team are exceptional and worthy of this review. They are professional, knowledgeable and fair. They worked with us to replace our old, collapsing concrete drain pipes. Having just moved into our new home, we did not have perimeter drains in the budget. Richard and Jenny went out of their way to ensure we had the system we needed by guiding us to do some of the work ourselves. They are reliable, and understand what it means to be part of a community. We give them the highest recommendation.

Richard, his wife and team were very professional, hard working and showed up on time. They completed replacing my drain tiles and installed a new sewer line in a timely manner. He was approachable, easy to talk with and his quote was very fair! I’d highly recommend his company.

Richard and his partner came to scope clogged perimeter drains at our daughter's late 1970's house and quickly determined that due to extensive root infestation that clearing them would not be possible. He gave me great advice on how to located where the drains left the house so that we could access them and run a new line to resolve the problem. They were professional and honest and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them and if I have any other issues I will look to them for help. Thanks so much guys!

Richard and his partner came and scoped our drains and showed us exactly what was happening to cause the flooding that we had in our basement. They told us what we should consider doing right away, what could be done in stages and what was fine and didn't need any replacement - we really appreciated this honesty and that there was no attempt to have us replace drains that were still in good condition. The quote to do the work was very reasonable.
They showed up on the appointed date and the crew worked hard through some terrible weather to get the job done in under the estimated time frame. They

Richard's company was recommended to us by a colleague and I would be happy to recommend them to anyone seeking a provider for perimeter drain work. Of the various contractors we interacted with, Richard was the only provider to give us a firm quote on the day he visited our home and to give us a quote which included the full scope of work requested. Other contractors did not offer remediation and cleaning of the foundation or replacement of concrete which would have required us to deal with further contractors. Richard is a one stop shop. Richard and his crew were professional, courteous, and
