I had asked Standard to come out because I had water in my basement. I thought it may have been a failure in the drain tile installed by a different company. Standard recommended that I contact the company that had installed the drain tile because Standard's drain tiling system was different than what I had in place. They also did not not want to cause me additional expense or void any warranties with the company that had installed the tile. I later found out that it was my sump pumps that had failed, not the tile. I had my ... read more

They came out within 48 hours after my first call to give me an estimate. I hired them immediately since they were recommended so highly by Angie's List. They called me within 48 hours to give me the dates they could do the work. They kept in constant contact and always there to answer questions. They arrived on the date they said they would, didn't get one speck of dirt in my upstairs, were very conscientious regarding my property. The crew was very pleasant and the head person Jerod introduced himself and gave me a tour of... read more

We were very pleased with Standard. We chose them because of their expertise, competitive pricing, and easygoing manner. They were pleasant, extremely efficient, and great at communicating with us at all stages of the project. I interviewed three or four other companies, and Standard was the one that stood out as the most knowledgeable and professional. They provided (without my asking for it) a long list of people in our area who agreed to be references; great selling tool! At the same time, they were not at all "Hard sell,... read more

Representative (Todd) arrived at the house very promptly within about 2 hours of my call about an inoperative sump pump. He determined that the pump would run but explained that the diaphragm switch was probably getting inflexible with age. We decided to go ahead and replace the pump, which he did immediately in about 10 minutes. He also replaced the critter screen on the sump outflow line. Todd was prompt and very professional. We would use Standard Water Control again. Replaced old sump pump.

We had used them before to replace a broken sump pump. They left information on their backup system at that time. We thought $1200 was steep, but after finishing our basement we thought it a good investment. They came out within a week. The sump is in our family room so I was concerned about having a second discharge pipe to hide. The worker was able to push the pipe through the foundation instead of the framing, so it was hidden by cabinetry. He had to cut the drywall to conceal the pipe as well. He could have cut the drywa... read more

Gary McLanahan answered the phone and I explained the situation. He asked me a few questions and within a matter of 3 minutes he put my mind at ease. The situation with our wall was this: when the house was built, any house foundation wall under a garage might not be waterproofed as other outside walls would have been. Fifty years ago they believed that moisture would not travel under the garage. WRONG! Due to the recent rains we were experiencing moisture under the garage and it was coming through the porous cement block. W... read more

Everything went GREAT!! They were very professional and fast. They came out on a Friday before a long holiday weekend so we were a little nervous about how it was going to go, but they were in and how in a couple of hours. You could not even tell that they moved anything outside everything was cleaned up very nice!! Replaced old basement window with glass block and cleaned out window well and dug deeper.

Dave came out to look at our basement which has never had water in 80 years, but got some wetness this August with all the rain. He looked at our recently fininished basement and said it would be way too expensive to tear things up and put in tile, and we probably weren't in need of it anyway. He recommended some other options after seeing our grading away from the house was good. Plastic sheeting first, gutters next if the plastic didn't work (we have a roofline that would be difficult to add gutters to, but he said getting... read more

Gary came out promptly to assess the situation. He was very personable and brought us some literature to review. He definitely seemed to have a lot of expertise about basement waterproofing, however we weren't as confident with his knowledge of proper/best foundation repair. We received the estimate via mail within the week, a survey and a follow-up phone call a couple of weeks later. By that point, we had decided to go with a different company, and I was a little irked by the phone call because the person I spoke with was s... read more
