Reviews of local pros in Crystal, Minnesota

What didn't we do, vapor barrier, drain tile, radon fan, and 9 windows. SWSC came in in an organized fashion and installed everything efficiently and well. We've survived the recent rain after all the installations with flying colors. Any follow up questions we had in the 2-3 weeks since the work was done have been quickly answered. The window team and drain tile team did a fantastic job and the radon team worked well with our contractor to pick and install the place that best fit our future renovation. If I could give 6 stars...

I appreciated the honest approach to my water problem, without trying to up-sell more than necessary. The crew arrived exactly when scheduled and worked hard into the night to get the projects done. They jack hammered the concrete around the inner perimeter of my house and removed the gravel. They got rid of every piece without nickel/diming about a garbage can rental. They took out my old loud sump pump and replaced it with a new quiet one with separate backup line for the backup pump. I wandered down a few times to see the work and they answered my questions straight and professionally. I never felt that these guys were trying to get away with anything or swindle. The concrete guys came the next day and filled the perimeter back in just as nice as it was before. They also made sure to clean up all the plastic that was wrapped (the previous day) around all of my belongings, keeping dust off them. I was happy with the service and highly recommend this company. I will be bringing them back for a couple egress windows in the future.

We had Standard Water out to help us with water in our basement. We had foundation straps installed, and we had drain tile and a sump pump installed. Additionally, we had a radon system installed.

Everybody that came out was courteous and professional. They all did a great job of explaining the work they were doing, and were happy to answer questions.

Everything looks good so far. I'd definitely use Standard Water again.

Here are some of the names I remember: Matthew, Marcos, and Brent - all great.

Our remodeling firm subcontracted with Standard Water to control the water and humidity issues in our lower level 15 years ago. Our radon fan died this past month and our sump and battery backup were coming to the end of their useful life so I contacted SW again. I was able to get an appointment quickly and Ramon with new salesman Shawn just finished installing our replacement equipment. I also learned there was an app to use for the backup to know if it was triggered when we are out of town. Ordered that application for peace of mind. Great satisfaction with both gentlemen. I will not hesitate to recommend Standard Water to friends and family looking for water remediation.

Just moved into a new home. Demoted basement and started remodeling when water started coming up into my basement from the melting snow. Called Standard Water Control and they were in pretty quick.2 days and done even in negative temps. Glad I called them. No complaints. Workers were very freindly.

Standard Water did a great job water proofing my basement! Scott the Foremen and his day one crew and Brent and his outstanding cement crew were incredibly professional and worked diligently.

Only thing that I wanted to bring up was that I was told I needed to remove more of my basement trim than I actually needed to but what quality of work was fantastic.

This was my first experience with Standard Water. Todd was on time and responded with a proposal the same day! He answered all my questions. On install day Alex was patient and kind with all my questions and completely honest about what I would see after the install. Billing was a breeze! Thank you Heidi for your kindness!! I would recommend Standard Water to anyone! Thank you for all your help!

Had some basement drain tile installed by Romans crew, day one and Brent on the cement crew, day two.

Deeply impressed with the level of service and care by these two crews. Incredibly respectful, very responsive, clean an orderly.

If you're looking for a basement drain tile, THIS is the company you want to hire.

Both crews deserve a bonus!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great experience with Standard Water Control Systems! Alex and the other two guys did a great job installing this egress window. They were hard working, respectful, and knowledgeable. Can’t ask for better than that when having work done on your house. Alex did a great job making sure the mess inside was contained while working. Really appreciate the great work. We are very happy with the investment. Thanks again guys!

We had a drain tile system installed this winter. Everyone we dealt with was professional throughout the process. It got done in the timeline they said and the end result was great. Would recommend to anyone getting work done to their basement.

I had drain tile, a radon mitigation system, and an egress window installed in the same job and it was a great experience. The whole team was professional, friendly, and did an impressive job.
Appreciative of Gary and his thorough quote and communication leading up to the job, Scott and his team, and Brent’s incredible cement work. When Scott and the team were working on the basement, we got a bad storm that flooded the streets. I was very impressed with how they responded and were able to keep working given those circumstances. Everyone involved was eager to answer questions, respectful, and a pleasure to work with. The office was great and quick to answer any questions concerning scheduling and payment.
I’d strongly recommend Standard Water Control Systems. It is such a relief to have a dry basement, especially after all the rain we have gotten this summer.

An Outstanding Experience. Brent and crew arrived on time. They worked efficiently and consistently and left the basement cleaner than they found it. They actually finished the project a day earlier than expected and the workmanship looks great. This is the second house I’ve had them install a water system in, highly recommend.

Installation was clean, professional and worth the final cost. Very pleased.

I realized our sump system hadn't been tested in some time. Called Standard Water and they were nothing less than 5 star service. Ramon came out quickly, knew exactly how to confirm everything was working properly. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and fast service. Highly recommended.

I don't normally write these reviews; I find they are often either demanded of the customer or as a cudgel for the employees. Not the case this time. But I am delighted! Standard Water Control installed a complicated radon control system in my house this week. It was complicated because they had to run the pipe from my basement floor, through the sill plate/beam into my garage, all the way across the garage ceiling and up into my walk-in attic. Then it went across the attic floor and out the roof behind my chimney. When I contacted them, I asked how they could do it and if they could arrange to have the exit invisible from the street. Gary, who wrote the bid, spent a lot of time figuring it all out. When the installation date rolled-around, Jesus (I think. Forgive me, I am *horrible* with names...) spent a great deal of time with the little details needed to do the job right and to make it look great too. He even arranged to run the pipes around all of our shelving so we can put everything back to where it was before. His attention to detail was super-impressive. Jesus also went out of the way to explain exactly how it was supposed to work, how it might work a little differently because of what was under my foundation (a little gravel and a lot of clay) and what the warranty was. I wasn't after the lowest bid, but these guys even came in a little lower than the other guys I called. I do not hesitate to recommend Standard Water Control.

Standard installed sump pump system in 2024 (actually replaced old one contractor did in 1980). Great job & fair price for work involved. On 12/10/25, the battery charger on the backup pump was making weird noise but working. Called Kelly at 10 AM, service tech out at 2 PM and replacement charger installed at 4 PM, (tech had to go to shop in snowstorm to get replacement). All is fine now. Tech was very professional and explained issues and why replacement needed (Ramone I think). Couldn’t expect better service and solution. So yes 5 + Star, to Kelly, Ramone and Standard. Mark

Alex and his crew did a great job installing our new egress window. Alex set expectations clearly at the beginning of the job. He and his crew were meticulous with clean up inside and out. There's always a lot of dust in jobs like this and he gave me tips on how to do the final clean up inside the house and answered all my other questions.

The well looks great and we are very pleased with the three step design. It should be easy to use if we ever really need it. The window opens and closes smoothly and combined with the larger well lets a lot of fantastic natural light into the basement.

I worked with Kevin and Joe to help figure out what was needed for my cracking foundation and radon remittance needs. Kevin was knowledgeable and responsive. Joe and his team were very timely, knowledgeable and did great work. Everyone I dealt with was extremely helpful and friendly. I will be looking to Standard Water again once I am ready to add an egress window.

I in fact had them out for more foundation stabilization and to add an egress window. Alex and his team did a great job of adding an egress to our house in one day. Once we have exposed our north wall we will likely have them out for the last of our foundation fortification.

Water issues in the home are never fun, but it was good to work with Standard Water Control. They worked hard to get the job done and their system works. The workers are courteous and take care of the rest of your home while doing a dusty dirty job of concrete removal, drain installation and cement repair. They thought of everything to keep the dust at bay. Their jack hammer has a filtration system, they plastic off everything and help you prepare for the job. They cover floors where their foot traffic is too. I really appreciate the details they did to care for the rest of my home while they mitigated the water issues. I highly recommend.

From start to finish, Standard Water has been an amazing partner in solving several water issues in my basement. Nate came out to view the initial water issue and provide a quote for the work. He was knowledgeable and helpful, providing his perspective with no pushiness or “scare” tactics. I needed to wait several weeks before drain tile could be installed since the team was in such high demand. Well worth the wait! Brian and team did a great job installing the drain tile and sump pump and Brent was wonderful as well. About a month after the drain tile install, I was dealing with a separate issue in the basement that uncovered the need to use Standard Water again. Joe came out to assess the situation and within a week, Brian had the problem fixed. They were equally great to work with the second time around. Highly recommended! Thanks for your help.

Standard Water Control installed drain tile in the basement of my 1939 home a few years ago. I’ve recently had some water seeping through the bricks following significant rain falls. Scheduling was a quick phone call and the work was done quickly and professionally by Ramon within a week of calling to schedule the appointment.
