"Just had ours put in, and it looks great. Our installation team ( Lenny, Terrence, and Manny ) were on time, friendly, hard working and meticulous. Lenny took time to explain things when I popped down and was very patient with questions while working incredibly hard. We have friends who literally live in a swamp who had Busy Dog a couple years ago and their system has worked perfectly. They were getting water in their basement several times a year-- now NOTHING. And I love the technology innovations by this company, the quality of the materials is top notch. Salesman Mike worked with us to set up the construction, he and their engineer came out several times to make sure they understood our tricky set up and worked to get the timing right for timing that worked for us"

"This review is hard because I have previously used this business several times over the past few months. However, I’m so profoundly disappointed in the service I received from Super Service Today last week that I feel compelled to share my experience. Two months ago, I told Super Service Today about a basement leak in the utility room. They charged me $180 diagnostic fee but couldn’t identify the source of the leak. I was assured that things looked as if they were in working order (i.e., water heater, piping, and boiler) and that I would get consideration for the $180 diagnostic fee I paid (without getting a diagnosis) if the leak were to recur. Well, the leak recurred in the basement utility room 2 months later. The "consideration" that I was promised went out of the window once they got their initial payment, and I was charged an additional $5000 for the replacement of a new water heater. To make matters worse, their plumber failed to ensure that the tenant’s hot water and heat were functioning after the water heater installation. The tenant understandably complained, so I reported this to Super Service Today. They inform me that their plumber never switched the valves back on, so they sent the same plumber the next day. Since the door was locked and I out of town, I had to pay $200 for a locksmith to unlock the basement. Super Service Today refused to pay for locksmith despite the fact that the need for the locksmith was a direct result of their mistake: leaving the valves off. After the plumbers comes, he then says that there must be an electrical problem with the relay box because the heat and hot water still won’t turn on. Despite the implausibility that the electrical wiring and/or relay box that were perfectly functioning with the bad water heater would suddenly malfunction with the installation of a new water heater, we have an electrician come over the next day for another $450. The electrician tells us the obvious: there is no electrical problem and all the systems are receiving the appropriate signals, that the boiler is hot, and that the issue is clearly plumbing. Additionally, the senior electrician (who has 20 years of HVAC experience) says that the proximate cause is that the plumber introduced an air bubble into the system during the installation of the water heater. I verbally share the summary of the electrical diagnostic information with Super Service Today at 11:43 am Eastern time on Friday, and finally after a second call, the plumber calls me back at 3pm who says he will share it with the office. I don’t get a call back (this is now the 3rd day for my tenant without heat or hot water), so I call back in 1.5 hours, later only to be told that addressing an air bubble in the boiler is out of scope despite the fact that it was introduced during their $5000 water heater installation. Furthermore, because it is now at the end of the day, they would have to charge me an emergency fee of >$150 (for nights/weekends) + $180/hour to diagnose their own incompetence. I passed, put my tenants in a hotel, and hired a trusted plumber who solved the multiple problems in a couple hours. Yes, that’s right, in addition to introducing an air bubble into my previously functioning system, my plumber documented that they erred in the installation of the water heater. It’s no wonder why there was no heat or hot water. I can deal with infrequent mistakes, as everyone is human. I can't suffer people who make mistakes and don't own them, blame other people (like the electrician), and want to charge you exorbitant amounts to fix their own blunders. That's unacceptable They were paid to leave everything in good and working order. Instead, they left me in a lurch, with large out of pocket costs, and very unhappy."

"The home office turned out great! Brent was very easy to work with and flexible/ open to doing the project in phases with some inspiration but not complete direction. I had an idea of what I wanted but Brent brought it to life. We hired Brent to install a desk from counter top and cabinets we purchased. We later had him come back to build in a bench and build in shelving to complete the project. The shelves and the storage/ filing cabinet within the built in bench add extra storage to our condo which is hard to beat. To say I am happy with the result would be an understatement, I love it!"

FAQs for foundation drain installation projects in Watertown, MA

Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include: 

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end. 

For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.

The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing. 

If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.

Foundation repairs cost about $5,000, on average. Typically, prices range from $2,200 to $7,800, depending on the type and extent of repairs needed. Cost factors include foundation type, home size, soil stability, accessibility, and the ultimate cause of the problem and what methods and materials are required to fix it.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
