I called Standard because I thought that we might have water seeping into our basement bedroom. We had moved a bed to find that there was water damage on the carpet the drywall. The previous owners had sprayed foam where the wall met the floor to "fix" the problem. We already had one sump pump in the opposite corner of our finished basement. The salesman looked at the water damage, took pictures, and said that most likely the drain tile was improperly installed when the house was built in 1996. When I had called, I told the ... read more
Business response:
We are sorry this member had this experience with us and understand her frustration. Standard Water has waterproofed tens of thousands of basements since 1977 and, overall, has a remarkably low formal complaint number (lower than .1%). The quality of our work is reflected in Angie's List reviews as well; we receive more than 10 reviews with an A or B rating for every 1 review with a C or lower rating. We are proud of the work we've done for Angie's List members. In this situation our estimator, Todd, searched high and low fo... read more

For a few months I was having a small water problem in my basement &couldn't determine where it was coming from. It seemed it was comingstraight up through the basement floor. A relative suggested I call awaterproofing company to come & assess the problem. So inSeptember 2015 I went onto Angie's List & found Standard WaterConrol Systems Inc. & called them. I credit that they were ableto have someone come within a few days to give me an estimate, whichI appreciated. The individual thought that the problem was that thewater ta... read more
Business response:
First, let us say we're glad you were able to find the source of the water problem and now have it fixed. We appreciate your comments and take them seriously. We believe it's the best way to improve our company. We have been in the business almost 40 years and have worked on close to 30,000 homes and businesses and can honestly say the last thing we want to do is install a system that isn't needed. This is why we spend so much time at the home asking questions and inspecting the property inside & out. As thorough as we try t... read more

I would really like to see basement water-proofing companies pair with landscaping companies. I thought that I would learn more about drainage and water control from my initial visit with this company. Since both my neighbors have sump pumps, I jumped the gun and assumed that I needed one. Then I talked to my uncle (who has remodeled several basements) and some old-timers in my neighborhood. I learned many things about drainage from them, such as the fact that water likes to flow vertically unless you have a soil like clay ... read more
unknown Drain tile and sump pump. Went well, this is the second house we have used Standard on. Only issue was from some concrete debris we had to clean up outside after the snow melted. Standard probably would have come back to clean it up but my son took care of it so i never called them.

Not a good experience, felt as if they were not interested and trying to charge as much as they possible. Could not provide any answers about why it would cost so much and if there was any alternatives. Told me I would have to rip down all new sheetrock. Another company came in at less than half the price. Felt like I couldn't trust the company. Provided an estimate
Business response:
On July 19, 2013 we gave this member an estimate for a partial draintile system (42 feet of draintile at a cost of $3,120) with an option to expand to 130 feet of draintile at a cost of $5,980. At that time they chose to use another contractor. On July 10, 2014 the member requested another estimate for an expanded partial drain tile system (168 feet at a cost of $8900) and a complete draintile system (218 feet at a cost of $10,900). At this time the member wanted to make sure they would never have water in the basement again... read more
