Response from Standard Water Control Systems Inc
We are a bit confused with this review. We have absolutely no record of any communication with this member -- which is highly unusual. And, while we do have quite a number of jobs pending, we're still giving estimates every day. If this member wishes, we would be more than happy to send someone to the home right away.

Description of Work: Had drain tile put in all the way around the basement. I had priced this out with a couple other companies and standard water control were more friendly then the rest. It took them a while to return my calls but were very professional. The installation crew I thought were very neat considering how messy of a job this is. They sent a bigger crew due to how much work there was to do. Started on Friday at about 8am, stopped working at 5pm and then finished the job with a few hours on saturday. I am very happy with the dry basement I now have.

Description of Work: Standard's crew encapsulated the open dirt crawl space and installed a sub-floor vent system. All works great and the craftsmanship is wonderful. They patiently walked me through options during the sales process and let me specify which parts of the work I would do and which they would do.

Poorly.
Description of Work: I called after we found some water in our basement near our fireplace. I spoke with a lady who took my name and number. A serviceman called me back about half an hour later. I explained the situation and he said he would call when he got back to the office to set-up a time for an estimate. I never heard back from him. My husband called them again a few days later. This time we never made it past the initial receptionist. After he explained the situation, she essentially said that the job would not be worth their time since we weren't interested in having our entire basement retiled, but just a part of the existing system addressed. Even though they wouldn't come to give us an estimate, the following day we still received a packet of information from them with fliers about all the different services they could provide for us.

Response from Standard Water Control Systems Inc
After checking our records, I discovered we have never done any work for this member but she did call back on March 7th, 2011 regarding water issues in the basement. At that time the homeowners decided they would try sealing some cracks and other options. On April 29th, 2013 this member spoke again to one of our Representatives and explained she had a drain tile system installed but was getting water at the base of the chimney. At this point the members experience and our memory of the situation diverge rather significantly. I wonder if the member may have Standard Water and another company confused. We take great pride in helping everyone whether we do any work or not. We freely offer information and advice all the time because we know people reward companies that help them by telling all their friends. Good referrals are the lifeblood of our business, which is why everyone that calls for information also gets a free DVD and brochures ... so they can pass them on. On the other hand, not helping people results in damage to our reputation which is our most valuable asset and we take great pains to protect it. Admittedly, this would be a fairly small job but we would be happy to help. However, there is a less costly solution. Our advice is to contact the company that installed the original drain tile system. Reputable companies offer a transferable lifetime warranty which should result in a solution to the problem at no cost to the homeowner. One way to find the company is to check with the local city to see who pulled the permit to do the work. Most cities require permits especially Minneapolis & St. Paul. Homeowners should beware of companies who say a permit is not necessary and should never deal with a company that isn’t licensed and doesn’t pull permits. Without that permit the homeowner has little to no recourse. In the end I’m left scratching my head trying to figure out how something like this could happen. We simply don’t deal with customers this way because it’s bad for our reputation and, therefore, bad for business. This is why I believe we may have been confused with another company and I am sorry for that. I can see where it could easily happen when you’re calling anywhere from 3 to 5 different companies for estimates. I hope this member finds a lasting solution to their water problem.

Description of Work: The Standard service was outstanding in every respect. The service representative arrived right on time. He listened to what we told him about our concerns with leakage and drainage in the basement, looked over the situation carefully, then told us what he believed was the source of our problem and how to solve it. We followed up with the drainage company he recommended, which confirmed his diagnosis and quickly solved the matter. Standard charged us nothing for this assistance. We were highly impressed with Standard and its field representative.

Awesome. As explained above.
Description of Work: Dave came out to my house as scheduled. I was getting a 2nd opinion on drainage system / sump pump. No hard sales pitch!, Dave went through the house inside and outside with me and then sat down and went through paperwork and estimate. He left a disc of how their system works. Dave didn't think I needed a drainage system. I had just had gutters installed and he said relandscaping should help even though I had not had leaking since they were installed and if that didn't resolve it then to call him back if I wanted the drainage system installed.
