About Us

Hello my name is Darien Marx, and I am one of the owners and the original founder of what is now known as Countryside Services Incorporated. It all began in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, while working for another drain cleaning company.

I was uncomfortable with the rates that we were charging to the working class, and the people on fixed incomes, with no allowance to cut them a break. It was then that my wife Yvonne and I, along with our two children, Shontay and Dekota, decided to start our own business. Boy, was that hard! Everything was so expensive and getting the word out about us took forever. With mounting costs and the phone not ringing we made a big move to northern Colorado to start a small repair shop.  I was all over the place doing plumbing and heating repair, appliance repair, drain cleaning. You name it, I would work on it.

My daughter would say that I was all over the countryside, and the folks in the area said that I could fix "pert near anything," and it all stuck.  So my daughter gets the credit for the name Countryside Services, and the town's people get credit for "We can fix 'pert near anything."

Then in November of 1999, my wife and  I came back down to Grand Junction to visit my good friend and ex-boss Phil Sawyer from another drain cleaning company, and he told me how bad things were getting at work and then said, "Remember years ago when you said we should start our own business?  Do you still want to? I'm going nowhere here and feel like together we could offer this town a great alternative to high prices." So we loaded up the truck and moved to G.J. We incorporated in the spring of 2000 and out came phonebook ads, and we were off once again, starting a new business in a new town.

We will always try to repair the problem rather than replace and save our valued customer as much money as we can. We believe that the customer is number one. You work hard for your money and deserve a break from high prices.
