Greensboro Drainage Solutions

"I was very pleased with the knowledge and experience Shawn and his employees provided to help solve our foundation and crawlspace water problems with our rental house in Greensboro. After seeing several of his YT channel videos of his company addressing various drainage problems for homeowners in our area I decided to have him look at our issues. He was able to address the main problem which was keeping the water from ever reaching our foundation rather than other companies that focused on crawlspace encapsulation or sump pumps that really didn’t address the issue of keeping the water away from the foundation in the first place. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone with drainage issues around a home or business."

"If you want the job done right call Gate City Foundation. Shawn and his crew are super knowledgeable and courteous. I would recommend them to anyone needing their services."

"My 3-year-old son loves seeing how things work, and we watched some excellent videos they posted on YouTube. What moved me to leave a review is that they took a moment show a click beetle in the video, and I’ve always loved insects and try to teach my son about them, so this was a double thumbs up from us!"

"Hire this company!! I’m in Charlotte and found Gate City on youtube trying to figure out what the heck the contractor who I hired to fix my sagging floors did…I reached out to Shawn to see if he happened to do work in the Charlotte area, after a couple days I figured, “he’s busy and must not work in the area” and a couple hours later I received a thoughtful and informative response with recommendations and tips/tricks. I was blown away. He doesn't work in the area, but was kind enough to spend the time to go above and beyond. This is a contractor YOU CAN TRUST."

"Gate City Foundation Drainage gets my rock-solid endorsement. After reaching out to them about a drainage problem causing water to enter our basement, the situation was evaluated and fixed quickly with notable professionalism. Shawn and his crew upgraded our deteriorated drainage system within a few days of contacting them. They were prompt, friendly, and focused on the quality of their design and construction. They successfully navigated a tricky element of the engineering and left the work area clean. We are now able to relax during heavy rains. If you need to re-direct some bothersome water, give Gate City a call."

"Shawn came out and did fantastic work on a house I own. He came up with a no nonsense solution to a flooding problem at the property. I highly recommend him."

"My home inspector wouldn't enter the flooded crawl space so I called Shawn with Gate City Foundation Drainage for an assessment. He quickly found a massive water leak where water was coming in from the front of the property and intruding onto the joists. The whole area was rotted, soaking wet, and covered with black mold. I would have never known, as the floor above is beautiful tile in the kitchen. Now I understand how important the crawl space is and Shawn really gave me the information I needed to make a decision on buying this property! Thank you so much!"

"Shawn is a life saver!!! He has literally solved more problems for me at my property than I can count and his work is always extremely professional and affordable. He is the only person I use for all of our drainage issues. I Highly Recommend!!!!!!"

"I had a rather large project in which all the underground drainage around my house (that which drains the downspouts) had to be replaced. Sean came out and gave me a good estimate. He and his team arrived on time and did an excellent job putting down PVC and not the cheap corrugated plastic pipe. I'm exceedingly happy with the quality and recommend them without hesitation."

"Shawn's youtube videos helped me correct some drainage issues around my house. I couldn't have done it without him. Thank you Shawn!"

"We wanted a drainage system for our gutters that is superior to corrugated pipe. They also did some grading work and erosion repair. Highly recommend Gate City Foundation if you are lucky enough to be in their service area. Shawn and team do amazing work !"

"Had a very big project that needed down for my muddy back yard. found Gate City Foundation Drainage company on YouTube and was so happy that he was in my area. he showed up with a great quote and shared my intensity in wanting to fix the issue. his crew showed up a week later on time and got right at it. they where a real joy to be around and all of them shared a dedication to their craft. a few FULL BUBBLES later and my gutter drains where out of my yard and out of my hair. will use them again for any thing related to drainage and will recommend them with no hesitation!"

"Shawn was the level-headed and practical voice we needed when an incident resulted in a damaged drain pipe on our property that needed replacement. He laid out a plan and followed through with excellent work. As a result, our driveway stays dry, and water no longer seeps through our crawlspace wall."

"Shawn was great to work with; from answering all of my many concerns & questions, keeping me up to speed on the job as it was being completed, to providing me with additional recommendations on what was worth doing & not doing to my home (as a person who has zero experience in this area I really valued his feedback). In comparison to a similar job previously done, his work was by far better. His team was courteous & also very knowledgeable. Knowing that everyone working on my house knew what they were doing gave me peace of mind. I look forward to working with Shawn & his team again on other projects around my home."

"Shawn was very thorough when looking at my pool deck. Anyone who would come out on a Sunday to measure and give me a quote is a plus. Everything turned out beautiful. Job was done in two days. Thanks Gate City Foundation and Massey Concrete. Love my new pool deck."

"I can highly recommend Shawn and Gate City Foundation drainage. We had a VERY wet basement, and they completely solved the problem. The cost was far less expensive than traditional basement waterproofing. Shawn is courteous, professional, and has the expertise and equipment needed. I completely trust him to do good work at a reasonable price."

"Shawn was very responsive to my request for quote. He was on-time for our appointment, and explained everything clearly with professionalism. I am impressed with Shawn's knowledge base and felt sure he would do a good job. Shawn was able to complete the work within a week of my quote approval. Shawn kept me informed and invited to me see the results when completed. He took the time to explain what was done and performed all items listed on the quote without deviation. Shawn ran water from the gutters to test his work - now we just need some rain to finalize the test! Thank you Shawn. It's been a pleasure working with you."

"Shawn did a phenomenal job with the major water issues/erosion from the water - happening on both sides of my house!! He was here when he said he would be. He and his crew were professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend them!!"

"These gentlemen helped me out when several other companies ghosted me. Shawn and his team came in, removed a huge tree that had been cut down, cleared out all the overgrowth and leveled an area for a firepit. I cannot say enough about their professionalism and workmanship. I had Gate City come back and fix my gutter system. The corrugated drain lines were crushed and the helmeted gutters did not capture the water, rather it was running behind the gutters or flowing over and dropping to the ground riding the soil. They removed the old lines and replaced with pvc, and installed new gutters with filters (a must add my home is in the woods). Now the ground around my home is drying out, and it is amazing the volume of water moving through the new pipes. I cannot recommend this company enough."

"I can’t say enough positive words about Shawn and his team at Gate City Drainage. Shawn is passionate about his work, and I could not be more pleased with the outcome. They solved my drainage problems, which included clogged/crushed corrugated conduit, ground sloping towards the house, a cracked patio that sloped towards the house and some old and deteriorating landscaping timbers. Shawn and his crews remedied all of these issues, and I have complete confidence that his methods and materials will keep water moving around and away from the house for good. Shawn and Ronald also tackled several other house projects and I truly value all of their input, their follow through and quality work. I highly recommend Gate City Drainage for any project you may be considering them for. Be sure to check out Shawn’s informative YouTube videos featuring my project and others to get a sense of his passion."

"We were experiencing some water intrusion into our basement on one side of our house. Shawn came out to assess and came up with a logical plan on the spot. He installed a catch basin and also rerouted the gutter downspouts into solid PVC pipes (they previously drained into perforated corrugated pipe) with outfalls downstream and far away from our foundation. He was able to complete the work in a day and within a week of us contacting him. Shawn and Crystal were also great to talk to. Highly recommend if you're having drainage issues."

"Shawn was super great to work with and guy his guys were top notch. They showed up when scheduled and did everything we agreed to with a high degree of thoroughness"

"Shawn and his crew were all very professional and did a great job on the roof install."

"I’ve worked with Shawn for several years now installing gutter systems to eliminate drainage issues. We’ve worked together on many projects and I always find his work to be exceptional. If your needing a dry crawl space call Shawn."

"Shawn is very meticulous in his work and knows what he's doing. He put in a drain, sloped soil away from my house and oversaw and managed the team replacing my gutters. I no longer have to worry about flooding. He reached out to me several times to make sure all is ok. He's fair and honest and won't take advantage."

"After contacting several places, I am very happy that we ended up with Gate City Foundation doing the job. The owner is very informative, quick, and friendly. He came out in a timely manner and was willing to work with my schedule (most other companies wanted to do midweek and midday consults). He explained what all he would recommend and then gave us a price breakdown within a few days, which is reasonable. He stuck to his word and if the weather was going to be an issue, he made sure to communicate that. I love the results and would highly recommend this company!"

"The guys worked very quickly after initial contact to solve my water issues! They were able to come out the very next day and listened to all my concerns regarding water runoff. Not only were my French drains old but they dumped out within 10 feet of my house causing low spots where water would stand. My house is also a low point in the neighborhood and I had a river down my driveway and a lake in my backyard last hurricane season. Gate City Foundation Drainage gave me a fair quote, worked quickly, listened to my requests for aesthetics and even fixed issues other “contractors” left unfinished! I’m feeling confident about my yard, home, and the safety of my family going into hurricane season this year thanks to Gate City Foundation Drainage. Thank you Shawn!"

"Shawn was amazing, we were outside of his service area, unfortunately, but he still took the time to ask us about the issues we were having and provide recommendations for what he could without seeing our property. We’ll definitely recommend if anybody in his service area needs help!!"

"Fantastic job! I can’t praise them enough…So professional and will definitely call them again for future needs!"

"Today we had a new drainage system installed for the rain runoff from a new gutter system, also recently installed. The previous drainage system was so old, the pipes looked like terra cotta clay! They had broken into shards decades ago and were useless. Hence, flooding in our basement, as the rain water had nowhere to go. The guys at Gate City Foundation Drainage came out and worked for many hours, both in hot muggy weather and later, a downpour. By the time I did my final inspection, the storm that came through provided ample proof of the pipes’ effectiveness. So much rain was running off into the street, as it should. As summer storms roll through this season, I’m going to breathe a sigh of relief that the water is going on its way. Thanks to Shawn and the team!"

"Great to work with! Showed up on time and got the job done in a timely manner and did exactly what I asked them to."

"Shawn is very knowledgeable and accountable. If you have any doubt about his work, just look him up on YouTube. He also has a hard-working crew that really take pride in their work."
