Editorial Review
Our Take on Rogers Basement Waterproofing
Rogers says it has worked in Columbus since 1975, and its 4.7 rating from 63 Google reviews is backed by reviewers who describe fair pricing and honest recommendations. The lifetime leak guarantee is the standout, though the range of systems is narrower than at larger firms and one reviewer objected to phone-only pricing.

Company Background
About Rogers Basement Waterproofing
On East Fulton Street in Columbus, in the Eastmoor area of the city's southeast side, Rogers Basement Waterproofing has been fixing wet and bowing basements since 1975. That location puts the crew close to the older neighborhoods where block and stone walls tend to crack, lean and weep after years of Ohio freeze and thaw. The company describes itself as family-owned and says it has served more than 10,000 customers, with about 250 years of combined employee experience. It also states that it does not rely on subcontractors for repairs.
The service list is focused. Basement waterproofing uses Hydro-Flo drainage (footer drains), sump pump installation, downspout drainage lines and soil added against the foundation. Foundation repair covers steel I-beams to brace bowing walls, glass block windows, crack repair, and MasterSeal or DRYLOK wall coatings. Sump pump work includes interior pumps and battery backup systems, using Zoeller pumps that carry a 3-year manufacturer warranty. Downspout work means hand-dug trenches, 3 or 4 inch PVC, and discharge to the street or away from the foundation. The site says the company serves customers up to 100 miles from its Columbus office.
The company backs its work with an unconditional lifetime guarantee against water leakage in the areas it has waterproofed, and says labor, service and materials for any callback are at its expense. The contact page says the phone is staffed 24 hours a day, and estimates are free. The company lists BBB accreditation on its site.
Reviewers give a clear picture. One homeowner had 10 beams installed to stabilize a basement wall, a crushed drain pipe replaced and an extra drain added, all in a single day. Another praised Nick as the most knowledgeable of several bidders, noting he spotted a failing sump pump during the beam work. A third said Nick stayed in contact before the job and that the work passed the local building department's inspection. The weak spot is communication on quotes. A one-star review from August 2026 complained that an estimator named Mike gave pricing by phone without visiting the home. Rogers Basement Waterproofing holds 4.7 from 63 Google reviews, read October 20, 2026.
It suits homeowners with bowed walls, seepage or sump pump problems who want a long-established local firm and a written lifetime guarantee. It suits less well anyone who wants to compare a wide menu of systems such as crawl space encapsulation or interior wall membranes, which the site does not list. Before booking, ask for an on-site inspection and a written scope, ask for the guarantee terms in writing, and check the contractor yourself. Ohio has no statewide licence for waterproofing contractors, so there is no trade licence to look up. Instead, search the Ohio Attorney General consumer complaint records, confirm the business on the Ohio Secretary of State business search, and use the City of Columbus Building and Zoning Services permit lookup to confirm that structural work was permitted.
