I used to work for Tristate Basements. They have a idiot for a owner. I happen to no for a fact that he was given the company by his father. Scott never worked a day when i was there. Everybody i knew that worked there was fired or quit. Allot of them were takin advantage of. Allot of basement customors are really mad. One of the guys hit a natural gas line and never told the people who live there...where was the owner, Scott??....He was drinking somewhere as usaul...Scott can't care about any of us..
I also know for a fact that they were evicted from there building...They are moving to a crappy little shack that his Daddy owns....If it wasn't for his Daddy, Scott would be a janitor somewhere. They did this to themselves.

Wow! Lets see who is a liar and whos telling the truth...
First---Dave the Dog going out of business? Ha! Dave"s company is BOOKED for 6 weeks with 2-3 crews working...Tri-State Basement Systems has LAYED OFF all production employees and has NO WORK! (Great management by Scott/Ginny and the idiot in the office!)
Let"s talk about Anderson's mis-management of a company.....Shall We?
--Tri-State Basement Systems was just sued by their supplier--Grip Tite and Anderson LOST! Grip Tite was awarded over $70k in damages...Great job Tri-State staff!
--Tri-States entire production dept has approached "Dave the Dog" for work because Anderson is too incompetent and has such a HORRIBLE reputation. EVERYONES LAID OFF!!.......Great job Tri-State staff!
--More and more people are SCREAMING because their basement leaks and your IDIOT LIAR in the office is too stupid to tell people the company is on the brink of collapse!.................Great job Tri-State staff!
-Buzzi's Garage in Barre has one of Tri-States big trucks and has had it for months! They will not fix it or release it because --in his own words.."Anderson owes me a ton of money"..........................Great job Tri-State staff!
--Tri-State has no service manager, their old one Brenda Timmons, is GONE! All calls to the company have gone unanswered by people who have issues with Tri-States garbage system.........Great job Tri-State staff!
Tri-State is on the verge of total collapse and "Dave the Dog" isn't going to buy that broken down disaster of a company....You all LOSE! You all deserve a taste of what you have put other people through!.........Great job Tri-State staff!
--Anderson owes EVERYONE in town and the state thousands of dollars...he on't pay...He made a agreement to pay Chris Plante $20k by the end of this month...He will screw him out of it like he did to everyone else!....Great job Tri-State staff!
You people thought you had the world by the a*s and the good guys won! "Dave the Dogs" reputation is SPOTLESS. That is evident by the fact that he is servicing countless Tri-State systems for the homeowners! Hahahahahahahhaha...Anderson has homeowners posting their stories all over the internet and they will be doing the same to warn the good folks of North Carolina...Anderson RAN AWAY to North Carolina....he WILL be filing Bankruptcy...................you'll see!!!!...Great job Tri-State staff!
In closing.....He is finished.....he belongs in jail and all you Morons will be soon working at McDonalds.
hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhaahahahhahaahhahahahahahahahhah

The comments posted were NOT by a former disgruntled employee! They are a representation of us customer's who were RIPPED OFF! After all, this site is for US to tell other unsuspecting homeowner's to BEWARE!
How can Tri-State Basements DARE say anything after calling the customer's it is crystal clear that they are dishonest..I called the Gardner's in Malletts Bay, Vermont who told me that Tri-State damaged their foundation wall footings while trying to put in their waterproofing piping...they couldn't fit the piping so they broke the footings with a big rotary hammer. The wall started to give way and they put steel plates on the wall attached with steel rods...THE WHOLE WALL COLLAPSED! Mr Gardner has over 100 pictures and is planning to file a lawsuit against TriState.
I find it amazing that Anderson (owner) can treat former employees the way he does.
---Why so many complaints?
---Why is Anderson so rude?
---Why is Anderson Lying? He DID file bankruptcy....
He did to the Gardner's what it says!
He did to the Picard's what it says!
He did to the Mann's what it says!
I called these nice folks and it seems that they all tell the same story! A belligerent owner (Anderson) who is angry and sounds desperate.....What a shame!
I am a Real Estate agent in Southern Vermont who has received a few estimates from Tristate basements and I have always hired another contractor. They were extremely expensive. I find this forum disturbing that any reputable business would engage in such a way to make a baboon out of himself.
I'm embarrassed for him. What a fool.

You are either Scott Anderson or you are in bed with him(literally).....
You are calling me a liar????
Let's address them one at a time....
First---Scott Anderson states that he never filed bankruptcy.................LIE!!!
$287,971.32 is the total amount that Scott Anderson RIPPED OFF Vermont families for!! It is public record...He is obviously incompetent!
Second--Scott Anderson states he isn't involved in any lawsuits.............LIE!!!!
Knucklehead is involved in a lawsuit with Berg, Carmoli and Kent--A lawsuit with Chris Plante--A lawsuit with Advanced Basement Technologies-just to name a few...
Tri-State Basement Systems IS NOT a member on Better Business Bureau!!
-------------------------WHY????--------------------------------------------
Simple!!!...........He RIPPED OFF Senior Citizens, Homeowners and good people and had so many complaints that he stopped his membership...........
AS to the LIE about Tri-State had no worker's Compensation Insurance----LIE!!!!!
Tri-State Basement Systems had no worker's compensation insurance for almost 4 months....That means every homeowner was at risk of a lawsuit should a worker been hurt! ...............................................Either you are drinking some kind of kool aid or your on your knees in front of the alcoholic dude!!
--And as far as the employee that was hurt??? He DID NOT PURSUE A COMPLAINT FOR COMPENSATION NOR DID HE PURSUE A COMPLAINT WITH 2 VERMONT AGENCIES AGAINST THE COMPANY! SO WHEN YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT MAYBE YOU SHOULD CRAWL BACK IN YOUR HOLE YOU CAME OUT OF-------LOSER!!!
--As far as the people on the internet with their names and numbers...They all were asked and AGREED to tell any other customer about their experience with Tri-State Basement Systems......Maybe if you had $70,000 worth of damage like the Gardner's of Colchester, Vermont,(((Redacted))) you would welcome a reference call.......Ya Think?
--Maybe the elderly folks from Grand Isle, Vermont (((Redacted))) who spent nearly $14,000 on a waterproof system for their basement only to find out it was installed HORRIBLY! The workmanship was that of the worst "Hackjob" that they had ever seen! Even after a visit from the alcoholic him self Scott Anderson, who then tried to "Strong-Arm" them as he wouldn't admit it was shoddy! They were able to get ALL of their $14,000 back because of a "FRAUD" clause on their credit card! YOU DON'T THINK THEY WOULD MIND TELLING THEIR STORY--DO YOU?
What about Anderson's big land purchase? Why does Basement Systems founder Larry Janesky's wife own it now? I'll tell you why----INCOMPETENT!!!
In closing to Anderson or whoever you are--Anderson "DID" have the business handed to him by his Daddy!! Go blow smoke up someone else's butt!!!
As far as jealous? Are you shittin me? Seriously? Your not serious are you? The competition is going to knock that pathetic knucklehead out of business! You'll see!
And I will keep posting the "TRUTH" on the internet and their is nothing you can do to stop me! I dare you to try!!..........:^)

Please get a life and leave other peoples alone... Those in glass homes should not be throwing stones....
You do not state the facts and you make untruthful accusations, so you really think these people want to have their names, locations, and phone #'s plastered on the internet like this?
Mr. Anderson let himself be heard above so don't think this is him~ You just don't know everything your just another so called American that is looking for a quick fix to your troubles by going after a small business owner
By the way did you have to pay your way to Las Vegas????
Get on with your life it just didn't work out between you and Tri State Basements!
Ummmm by the way his "daddy" did not give him the business shows how much you know the facts about a business you worked for and are you jealous???

Anyone who just read that rebuttal by "Business Owner" you should know that that is Scott Anderson posing as somebody else. I want to point out to you that Anderson NEVER once addresses the original facts and the peoples basements that were either destroyed or severely damaged because of his alcoholic boozing and failing to supervise any employees.
-The fact that Anderson screwed Vermont families of the business owners out of $284,971 when he filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy not only was denied by Anderson at first, but now all he can do is attack former employees. Notice he does not address his lies when he is actually caught. What a honest Business owner!
-Notice he does not address the Gardner home on Malletts Bay ave in Colchester, Tri-State Basement Systems caused the Gardner's to spend over $70,000 to repair the home when Tri-State took a jack hammer to their footings and destroyed the structural integrity of the home.Before I hired them, I would contact the Gardner's and ask "what happened" and specifically ask them how Anderson responded to the disaster.
-Notice how Anderson does not address the Picards home in Grand Isle. The Picard's are a senior couple who live in Ct and have a summer home in Vermont. (802-372-4204 ;860-653-7465) They had Tri-State install a waterproofing system, instead, they had their foundation trashed. Anderson went and looked at it and tried to strong arm them to just accept it the way it was. Thankfully, the Picard's have a "FRAUD" clause attatched to their Mastercard and were able to get a full refund! CALL THE PICARD'S AND ASK THEM TO DESCRIBE SCOTT ANDERSON'S BUSINESS PRACTICES!
-Notice how he doesn't address Wayne and Virginia Mann's foundation? He doesn't care that his company half assed the foundation wall anchor job. The Mann's will tell you that it was like dealing with a mobster. Anderson argued with them to the point of yelling at them because they wouldn't pay him for a job that was not completed as described. CALL THEM BEFORE HIRING THIS COMPANY!
-Notice how Anderson does not explain that he decided to go to Las Vegas and drink him self to be smashed the whole time.(at one point he staggered and fell on his face in the middle of the casino) all this while his employees were working with NO WORKER'S COMP INSURANCE TO PROTECT THEM! When a employee gets hurt and is permantly injured, it's a "early retirement" as he called it!
There is 14 -16 names and many other reports with names of people popping up every day that are talking about what happened to them. These people had their basement destroyed, damaged or were taken for several thousand dollars. There was families of companies that were "ripped off' of over $280,000 in which Anderson blew off in a Bankruptcy. This is a pattern. Also is a pattern of Anderson probably drinking and posting his "empty" rants that do not address the people that his company has damaged or ripped off.
Before you spend one dime with this person who has had his business handed to him by his Daddy, call the people who are on this list.Ask the Realtor's at Berg, Carmolli and Kent about the Greed of Scott Anderson.

This is why it is tough to own a business, because the employees THINK they own you, and try their best to:
First David Aubut: Worked a Tri State for less than 6 months, decided to take "vacation" so he got paid to go and learn the competitors basementsystem, came back and began his own buiness- He is a LIAR, CHEATER, and has no morals. He bit the hand that fed him.
What do you call a long time employee, less than a year of employment for Mears, and Chris Plante. By the way Chis again biting the hand that fed you quite well.....going to work for Aubut once you were caught and warned not being where you were supoose to be for how many times??????
Geez you mention 4 customers that were unhappy, I am quite sure the Happy customers list is much longer, but lets not mntion that..... TSBS has been in business for over 10 years and still going strong, it is a VT family owned and operated business and takes pride in their workmanship and cusomer service
By the way a long time employee are ones hat last loner than 2yrs, dodo!!!! There are plenty of them their, check the web site for the facts and not a disgruntled ex employee that is looking to have a business take care of his early retirement, this is what has helped bring America to its economy trouble.. EX employees who think they are owed something because they do not disclose their "back troubles" upon hiring!
I have a TSBS in my house for over 10 years and is still a dry happy customer :)
Employers BEWARE o these future employees!!!!!

The records speak differently then what this author tells. I have NOT and will NOT be filing any bankruptcy. Point is he dosent have a clue what he speaks of. Also there is only one lawsuit not several. Again no clue.
All of the customers he listed where either his own or the person mentioned in #6 either way I publicly apologise to these customers for entrusting what turned out to be in capable people to handle their accounts. We have changed our hiring procedure to weed out these incapable people, its amazing how well it is working.
Current and future customers are welcome to contact me for more information, I have documentation to disprove his claims, it is simply a discrunteled employee.
