Verified record
Strongmen Waterproofing is a Stoughton basement waterproofing company that installs sump pumps and French drains and repairs foundation cracks, with listed offices in Woonsocket, RI and Hartford, CT, per its own site. Customers from 2021 to 2024 were pleased. In a December 2021 review, a homeowner whose basement leaked after heavy storms said the company recommended a French drain at a reasonable price. A February 2024 reviewer described a nearly invisible trench and sump pump setup keeping the basement dry, and a May 2024 reviewer said the company helped them get a FEMA reimbursement. In August 2025, a Google reviewer said they paid $11,000 for a full French drain and sump pump install, still saw water in the basement when it rained, the sump pump never kicked on, and repeated calls and emails to the company went unanswered. The BBB grades it B-, citing the business's failure to respond to one complaint. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#183078) has expired, according to the state registry.

Paid $11k for a full French drain and sump pump install in October but still seeing water in the basement when it rains. Sump pump never kicks on. Have tried to call Strongmen on multiple occasions at multiple numbers but no response. No response to emails either so I have to wonder if they are still in business. So much for their "warranty". I should have gone with the most expensive company. You live and learn I guess.
Outstanding service. They did exactly the right work, were professional, and helped us get FEMA reimbursement I didn't know we were entitled to. A+ and strongly recommended.
They took the time to make sure we knew about all our options and could stay within budget. Work got done quickly and everything was left better than they found it. The end result was a practically invisible trench and sump pump setup that is keeping our basement bone dry. Strongly recommend these guys if you have issues with water in your basement.
When I called, they called back promptly, and I was able to schedule an estimate within a few days. They called to advise when they were on the way. The estimate was quick and honest. He advised that unfortunately, our issues largely required a carpenter instead, and offered a few suggestions of things we could try. I sincerely appreciate their time and honestly. Will call them again if we have other issues they can help with.
Strongmen Waterproofing is a first class operation. They responded very quickly to inspect our basement which usually leaked extensively after very heavy rainstorms. They recommended a French drain with a very reasonably priced estimate, and were able to start in a few days. They were very flexible and easy to work with. For example they agreed to our desire to locate the sump pump drywell outside in a location we preferred over their initial suggestion. They performed the work quickly and left the basement in excellent condition when done. I would not hesitate to use their services again, and highly recommend them.
