DMV Foundation Solutions

We had a great experience with DMV Foundation. I had cracks in my foundation, and I called a number of companies. Each company suggested a different answer to the problem and estimates varied widely. I ended up hiring an independent engineer to get an unbiased opinion. The engineer's report tracked what DMV told me precisely. Amazingly, this was also the least invasive and most affordable solution. DMV earned my trust. They were honest, fair, showed up on time and did great work. I highly recommend them.

DMV Foundations is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a contractor who remodels homes, I’ve partnered with them on multiple projects, and they consistently excel at diagnosing foundation issues and water problems accurately and thoroughly. They always provide honest, cost-effective solutions and back them up with a skilled team that executes the work flawlessly. Communication throughout the entire process is top-notch. I highly recommend DMV Foundations and will continue using them for all my foundation needs!

There is a side yard within several feet of our house that we noticed was waterlogged during rain events and still wet during dry weather due to things beyond our control. We were concerned about the short and long term effect on our home’s foundation so we contacted DMV Foundation Solutions. Logan was very empathetic and got me set up with an appointment. Russell met with me, inspected the area and listened to my concerns and observations. He came up with a plan to mitigate it by creating a drainage system he described as a “water highway” with a dry creek near our house and then underground piping through the backyard. It gives water a path away from this vulnerable side of our house and moves it to our backyard so that the water that pooled near our house could instead drain closer to a nearby storm drain. This includes water from our south-facing downspouts which they tied into this system. He also designed spots within the system to allow easier access to clean and clear out clogs. I very much appreciated Russell’s forward thinking regarding maintenance. I had a lot of questions and Russell showed me examples of similar projects and answered lots of questions to help me understand the plan he had in mind. I thought it was really helpful to have that conversation ahead of receiving the proposal. When we had questions about the proposal, Russell helped to clarify and gave us more detail so we felt comfortable that we understood. Before our drainage project started we happened to have our tree service come by for an estimate. I asked their opinion and our arborist recommended that the pop up drain be placed a few feet from the original planned spot to prevent nearby trees from getting too much water. Russell was very open to that and Santos double checked with us the day he and Juan started the project to make sure they placed the pop up drain in the right spot. Santos and Juan worked diligently to create the dry creek in our front yard that was designed and installed in a way that was very specific to our situation. They continued to build the water highway under our fence and brick patio, through the backyard, incorporating our downspouts and installing the pop up drain at the end of the line. We appreciated Santos and Juan’s care for our yard and patio during this process. They were careful to set displaced dirt onto plastic so they were protecting surrounding areas and also setting aside the same dirt to fill in at the end. Our yard and brick patio look like they were never disturbed. Thank you to Logan, Geoff, Russell, Santos and Juan for your hard work through all phases of our project. We are relieved knowing that the dry creek and water highway is mitigating a situation that plagued us with worry about our foundation and home. We are grateful for their diligence and care for our project. We are so glad to know we have a trusted team to contact and recommend should we or anyone we know need help with home foundation issues.
