Frequently asked questions

Do you work on water problems other companies have failed to fix?
Yes. Multiple reviewers hired MOS after other contractors could not solve their basement or garage water intrusion, and Marcus's drainage solutions stopped the leaks.
Will you check on the work after it rains?
Yes. Marcus checks in after the next storm to confirm the drainage system is working and no water is getting in.
Do you do lawn mowing and landscaping or just drainage?
Both. Marcus handles ongoing lawn maintenance, spring cleanup, landscaping design around pools and houses, and masonry work alongside his drainage and excavation services.
