What can I expect from a drainage and/or property services estimate?
Fairness, honesty, and an easy-to-understand consultation from Classic Drainage. An experienced estimator will assess your needs and explain solutions. This is all free of charge.
How long have you been in business?
We were founded in 2006. Classic Drainage, Inc. at that time and opened to serve residential and commercial drainage needs.
Why should I fix my drainage problem?
There are many reasons to repair and improve drainage on your property — create a healthier and cleaner living environment; increase storage space; prevent damage to the area and your belongings; raise your property value; avoid wasted hours cleaning up after a rain; etc. Maybe above all else, though, is peace of mind. Nothing is more important than your family and their safety, and when it comes to the foundation and structural integrity of your home, you can’t take any chances.
How do I pay?
Cash, checks, venmo, and pay pal.
How long does the average job take?
Classic Drainage is a full-service drainage and property services contractor and committed to getting the job done right the first time. Many jobs, such as drainage work can be completed in one day or less, but there are exceptions (some work may take multiple days). We are transparent and candid with potential customers about how long we’ll take to complete the job, as we understand homeowners need to plan. We make every effort to minimize any disruption and inconvenience.
What is the average repair cost?
We know this a frustrating answer to an important question, but it depends. No two houses are the same, and since we aim to customize our work around your home (as much as possible), each job is different. You will never be charged for an estimate, and we always recommend the most practical solutions for your needs, even if that means directing you elsewhere. Smaller jobs may only be a few hundred dollars (often with an added benefit of saving or preventing thousands spent in the future!), while more involved work can cost significantly more. If you get another company’s estimate for the same work and/or services — an apples to apples comparison — we’ll match that price. No matter the size of the job, we stand behind our work.
What happens if the problem recurs after you do the work? Do you offer Warranties?
A warranty is only good if the company that offers it stays in business and honors the warranty. Many of our products and services come with a 5 year warranty and some are lifetime transferable warranty, and if the first 20 years is any indication, the life of our growing company is going to be a very long and healthy one!
Will I have to wait around all day for your Drainage Advisor to show up?
No. We give you a time frame for your free consultation. We can also call you before we arrive.
Should I address issues with draiage before I sell my house?
Definitely. Prior to selling your home, you are required to fill out a disclosure form, which asks, among other questions, if you are aware of any seepage problems in your basement or crawl space. Most issues will likely be discovered by a home inspector and leaving problems for the new owner to fix will typically result in a lower sale price. Failure to inform the buyer of any problems can also result in a lawsuit.
Can I fix just one small area of my house or basement?
In many cases, the answer is yes. Unlike some drainage/ waterproofing contractors, we do not push you into fixing everything, when it is not necessary. We offer solutions in order of priority — that fit the home and budget of the customer. That means our recommendations cover work inside and outside the house, DIY options, and short term fixes. Sometimes we’ll recommend a repair that doesn’t involve Classic Drainage (we want your home safe, secure, dry, and structurally sound more than we want your business).
Are you a franchise?
No. We are family owned - operated business with over 10,000 installations, repairs, property services to our name. Classic Drainage is one of Northern Virginia's trusted names in the drainage/ drainage repairs industry. We have grown our business one satisfied customer at a time. Our goal is to deliver peace of mind to customers through education, comprehensive solutions, and our wealth of experience.
Can anybody be a drainage contractor?
Any amateur with a set of tools and a truck can claim to be a drainage contractor, but there is no substitute for our experience and credibility. There have been many drainage companies come and go over the years, but only a few stay consistent. We put service first and treat each home we are in like it’s our own. More than half our business comes to us from a person-to-person recommendation or from previous customers.
It’s important to check out a company’s reviews, testimonials, and endorsements, as well read what influencers say. We encourage you to do just that before doing business with us. Classic Drainage often appears in media as a leading expert on home improvement. We are Angi Certified and Best Pick Certified for 2021 (Best Pick Reports). We were recently recognized as a Neighborhood Favorite on Nextdoor, which promotes local recommendations. Our reputation in communities and neighborhoods throughout Northern Virginia is top notch.
Can't I just pick up some materials from the hardware store and fix it myself?
You can, but you can’t buy the decades of experience that our crews have. Plus, many materials found at hardware and big box stores produce short term or inadequate results. You’ll often pay more when going retail versus letting Classic Drainage help you get what you need.
Will concrete, asphalt or brick pavers prohibit you from fixing the problem from the exterior?
It depends. We can remove any type of paving to install our systems and we can replace it. We have installed many jobs with patios/ hardscaping in the way, and have put it all back together in a professional manner. Whatever the job entails, we’ll recommend practical solutions tailored to you, your home, and your budget.
Do you do more than just drainage?
Absolutely! As many of our drainage jobs require other services for installation, we have had to accomodate to get any project done. We have a vast amount of experience and equipment. We can complete almost any task at your property with an emphasis on outdoor work. Tree/ stump removal, gravel work, retaining walls, landscaping, are just a few to mention.

We had corrugated drainage pipe installed 3 years ago by another company which failed and flooded my basement. Hired Classic Drainage to install all PVC drainage pipe and catch basins. I am very happy to say we are now dry! I no longer worry when it rains!
