Sampling of Customer Reviews
“The dogs come in from the backyard without traipsing mud on the floors.”
M.C.
Robert with Drain Designs did an absolutely fabulous job of fixing our muddy backyard. We fully expected the problem to be just mitigated, not fixed. We are thrilled.
Our backyard was previously unusable; we couldn’t walk along the side of our house nor the area surrounding our patio & backyard without mud boots. Now, even in the midst of rain, we can walk on every square inch of our yard.
The dogs come in from the backyard without traipsing mud on the floors or shaking wet mud on the walls, which HAD been our normal since moving in. Not anymore, Hallelujah!!
Robert was excellent in keeping us posted along the way and we appreciated him tweaking the job as needed based on what he encountered. Two neighbors on one side and another on our other side also used Drain Designs and all of their backyards are all now usable, too.
We seriously couldn’t be more satisfied. From our initial contact with Jeff, working with Hannah to coordinate dates and with Robert’s fantastic installation, Drain Designs delivered beyond & above all expectations by wide margins.
“I would recommend Drain Design to anyone.”
J.S.
Robert, who installed our drain, was great. He did a great job & it has helped our drainage problem. I would recommend Drain Design to anyone. They are professional, give you detailed information & were right about everything they said was going on with the water pooling in our yard.
“5 years later they fixed it for free. Awesome company!”
Sumi A..
Drain design is excellent. They installed drains around my house 5 years ago and made a huge difference in protecting the foundation around the house and drainage and the ground saturation for the garden and trees around the house.
But more importantly, I didn’t ask them to do the free yearly check, and 5 years later asked if they could inspect it, and they came out for free, found a drain that had gotten buried with foliage and debris, fixed it for free, and offer to come by every few years to check it for me still. Awesome company!

this was money very well spent.”

About Us
Kevan Amos is a father of three, husband and a homeowner who has experienced the expenses and family life disruptions associated with wet basements and foundation issues.
He’s also the principal owner of Drain Designs of Akron-Canton, serving the greater Stark County Ohio area.
Kevan started his career working directly with Drain Designs founder, Kevin Kondas, in the masonry field in the 1990’s while he was a student at Kent State University.
During that time he learned the fundamentals of residential foundation construction, as well as the crucial importance of proper drainage to protect a family’s number one investment.
For the past 18 years Kevan has worked in the aerospace industry leading high profile development projects. He’s a certified project manager through the Project Management Institute (PMI), and he earned an MBA in business management from Ohio Univ.
But Kevan’s passion for the construction trades remained. In 2018 he started working with Mr. Kondas again to learn about the exciting Drain Designs approach for mitigating water intrusion and protecting homes from both short term and long term water damage.

Kevan takes pride in tailoring solutions specific to each customer's needs based on root cause/ corrective action methodology.
