Editorial Review
Our Take on Mid-State Basement Systems
Mid-State Basement Systems pairs a perfect Google record with patented Basement Systems products and inspectors that reviewers say do not push. The price runs high, and hours are weekdays only, so it fits planned projects better than weekend emergencies.

Company Background
About Mid-State Basement Systems
Mid-State Basement Systems has collected 775 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0, which is hard to do with that many jobs behind a contractor. The company works from 2256 Citygate Drive in Columbus and sells Larry Janesky's Basement Systems line. Its waterproofing centers on three branded products, the WaterGuard perimeter drain, the TripleSafe sump pump and the SaniDry dehumidifier, installed by certified crews. The site describes the waterproofing systems as carrying a transferable, lifetime warranty.
Job pages show work in East Beechwold, Whitehall, Gahanna and Powell, and the service list names Westerville, Dublin, Hilliard, Grove City and Canal Winchester. Beyond drainage and sump pumps, the company seals wall cracks, handles window wells, encapsulates crawl spaces under the CleanSpace name and repairs foundations as a Foundation Supportworks dealer. Its logo dates the business to 1987.
Reviewers describe a process that starts with an inspector instead of a pushy salesperson. Tina wrote that Corey listened and did not push products, and she thanked Scott for installing a SaniDry and new sump pump and sealing her cracks. Karen said Jacob photographed her crawl space and that Jorge sent pictures of each day's progress. Amie credited Levi with explaining every step of an egress window job. The fair caveat also comes from Karen, who called the work expensive, while Kay found the price reasonable for the scope. Plan on a premium rather than a bargain.
The site shows a BBB A+ rating, a 2025 BBB Torch Award for Ethics and the BEST of 2026 Columbus Award for Waterproofing Service. Financing runs through GreenSky, and estimates are free.
Mid-State Basement Systems suits homeowners who want a branded, warrantied system and plenty of photos along the way. It suits less well anyone shopping on price alone, or anyone who needs weekend help, since posted hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Ohio has no statewide licence for waterproofing contractors, so there is no trade licence to look up. Before booking, ask for the scope and warranty in writing, check the company in the Ohio Attorney General consumer complaint search and the Ohio Secretary of State business search, and confirm permit needs with City of Columbus Building and Zoning Services. The rating is 5.0 from 775 Google reviews, read October 20, 2026.
