Our Service Areas

Standard Water Control has been serving customers in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, MN since 1977; providing customers with the best basement waterproofing solutions on the market, as well as top-quality customer service. We’ve serviced more than 30,000 homes, businesses and municipal buildings, laying down more than 1.7 million feet of our rigid PVC drain tile along the way. If you need basement waterproofing we have the experience, the tools and patented products to do the job right the first time.

The seven-county Twin Cities metro sits in the EPA’s highest radon risk zone, a result of uranium-bearing glacial till left behind after the last ice age. Standard Water Control has tested for and mitigated that radon in homes throughout the metro, alongside basement waterproofing, foundation repair, sump pump installation, egress windows, and crawl space encapsulation. One inspection covers all of it, so if a radon test turns up an issue, the same visit can flag a foundation crack or a wet corner of the basement too.

Rochester and the rest of Olmsted County sit on karst bedrock, limestone close enough to the surface that groundwater often moves through fractured channels instead of soaking evenly through soil. That changes how a buried discharge line needs to be routed, and it’s one of several things our team accounts for when working on a Rochester home. Standard Water Control handles basement waterproofing, foundation repair, sump pumps, radon mitigation, egress windows, and crawl space encapsulation here, all built around what this specific bedrock does underground.

A steep hillside and shallow bedrock define most of Duluth, and the city’s own stormwater office points to spring thaw as the season when sump pumps work hardest, moving groundwater that has nowhere flat to go. Standard Water Control installs sump systems sized for that terrain, and handles the rest of what a Duluth home might need too: basement waterproofing, foundation repair, radon mitigation, egress windows, and crawl space encapsulation, all from the same crew.

Homes along the St. Croix River bluffs in Hudson often include a walkout basement built into the slope, which usually means an egress window has to meet code for any bedroom or living space below grade. Standard Water Control installs those windows properly graded for a bluff lot, and covers everything else a Hudson home might need: basement waterproofing, foundation repair, sump pumps, radon mitigation, and crawl space encapsulation.

The Willow River runs through the middle of New Richmond, with a dam in the city itself and flooding on record as far back as 1876, so a crawl space here tends to pick up groundwater on a seasonal cycle rather than only after a heavy storm. Standard Water Control encapsulates crawl spaces with that pattern in mind, and also provides basement waterproofing, foundation repair, sump pump installation, radon mitigation, and egress windows for homes throughout the area.
