On April 24, 2026, we discovered water on the floor of our utility room, which had partially spread…read moreinto the carpeted family room. After checking for plumbing leaks and finding none, we pulled back sections of the carpet to allow the area to dry. The water appeared to be originating in the utility room and spreading into the family room and adjacent bedroom. Over the next several days, the problem continued to worsen. On April 26, 2026, we contacted Standard Water Control Systems (SWCS), a company we understood to be highly experienced in basement water issues. We explained our situation and scheduled an appointment with Nate Amdall, a Sales Specialist for SWCS. During his visit, Nate inspected the affected areas and examined our sump basket, which was dry. He quickly concluded that because our home was built in 2001, the builder had installed a deficient drain tile system that was now failing. We specifically asked whether the water problem could be caused by something else. Nate indicated that he did not believe so and stated that he had seen this same issue many times before. On April 30, 2026, Nate provided a proposal recommending installation of a new drain tile system. Trusting his expertise and diagnosis, we signed a contract with SWCS to perform the work. Between May 1 and June 1, 2026, I prepared the basement for the project by removing and disposing of all carpet, removing baseboards and cabinets where necessary, and relocating personal belongings. Throughout this period, standing water continued to appear every other day and then dry up. I repeatedly sent photographs to Nate documenting the ongoing water intrusion. On June 5 and June 8, 2026, SWCS installed the new drain tile system. The installation crew was professional and performed the work well. However, on June 7 and June 9, we again observed standing water in the exact same locations in the basement. We immediately contacted Nate, who advised that a member of the Service Department would need to inspect the issue. On June 10, 2026, Todd from the SWCS Service Department visited our home. After reviewing the history of the problem and inspecting the affected areas, he asked to test our floor drain. He observed our water softener discharging into the utility room floor drain during its normal regeneration cycle. Todd then manually initiated a regeneration cycle, and the floor drain immediately overflowed onto the basement floor. We watched the water travel across the basement and into all of the areas where moisture had previously appeared. Within approximately five minutes, Todd identified the actual cause of the problem: a clogged floor drain. The issue was unrelated to the drain tile system and did not require installation of a new one. Given Nate's confidence in his diagnosis and his representation of extensive experience with similar situations, we believe this simple test should have been performed before recommending a $10,400 drain tile replacement. Had it been conducted, the true cause of the problem would likely have been identified immediately. Later that same day, June 10, 2026, we contacted Roto-Rooter to clean the floor drain. The drain was cleared at a cost of $420, and the water problem was resolved. As a result of the incorrect diagnosis, we have incurred substantial costs and damages. We paid approximately $10,400 to SWCS for a drain tile system that did not address the actual problem. In addition, we estimate approximately $10,000 in costs to replace flooring and restore the basement after removing materials and preparing for the project based on SWCS's recommendations.

Before you hire any Water Control company hire a plumber to make sure you really need drain tile…read more After we hired this company we still had seeping water issues. After they were called twice they finally told us we had a leaking pipe. In addition, an employee stole a cellphone and a FIT BIT watch from our home and damaged our egress window. They fixed the egress window. The owner was not very pleasant, made us feel like we were not telling the truth. My husband literally spent hours changing passwords and canceling credit cards since the cellphone contained sensitive information. A few days later through Google find my device we pinned the cellphone at this business location, we called the police and had to take time away from our work to retrieve our phone. We never retreived our FITBIT watch. It was a nightmare! The company apologized but the damage was done!! The job itself was OK.. our sump pump has not been running at all .. probably because we never needed the drain tile in the first place. Be on alert when you have strangers coming in your house!! Apologies are not good enough after what this company put us through!!

We got several quotes and ultimately chose American Waterworks based on a recommendation from a family friend. Their estimate was in line with others we received who also offered transferrable lifetime warranties. I wish I'd gone with another company. First hiccup was that they didn't bring anywhere near enough pipe to move the discharge line to the location we had discussed. A phone call to the sales rep resolved that the day the work was being done. Second hiccup we discovered was that they had cut stair supports from our basement floor, left them dangling from the stairs, and put in an access point for the system under the stairs so we couldn't rebuild the supports ourselves. Kenny came out and did rebuild the cut part of the supports and moved the access point. Third hiccup was that they had left our old discharge pipe connected through the house, even though they'd cracked it, so water was leaking immediately outside the house. Kenny also fixed this. Fourth hiccup... they're coming for the annual maintenance check next month and we've just turned on our sprinklers, only to discover that they severed our irrigation line. Based on the fact that they buried the discharge line right on top of it, there's no way they didn't know they'd cut it. We cannot fix this ourselves as we can't access the entirety of the damage with their discharge line being where it is. No one works on the weekends to report the issue so I left two voicemails on Saturday. The first when I suspected they'd damaged the line and the second after I dug to investigate. I'll update my review when they've fixed the damage they caused. We're hoping for a timely repair as the city is digging up our boulevard this week and we can't locate the final sprinkler head due to the lack of water pressure in our sprinkler line.
