Dry Basement Science: What to Have Done. And Why

Basement waterproofing as a business has been around since the 1930's. Not a lot of new thinking has been applied until recently. Almost every other type of home improvement area or appliance that you use today has been modernized, changed and improved. Now it's time for basement waterproofing to come of age.

After five years as a carpenter and builder, Larry Janesky founded Basement Systems Inc. in 1987 to provide basement waterproofing services to existing homes. He soon learned that there was much room for improvement in the industry, and set out to make those improvements. He has since patented 25 products, with more pending and even more in various stages of design and development.

Larry is currently the president of the world s largest basement waterproofing and crawl space repair dealer network, Basement Systems Inc., that specializes in developing and providing products that result in dry below-ground environments. The company has won three business ethics awards, two consumer education awards, many quality and innovation awards, and was named one of the 20 Best Places to Work in Connecticut. Larry and his company have fixed thousands of crawl spaces since 1987. Larry has been invited to a number of industry conventions to discuss his research and solutions. Larry has trained more than 4,000 people over the last 21 years on basement waterproofing and crawl space repair. His articles have been published in Fine Homebuilding magazine, Permanent Buildings and Foundations magazine, and other publications. His second and third books entitled Crawl Space Science: What to Have Done... and Why, and Basement Finishing Science - What to Have Done... and Why are also available on Amazon.

Larry enjoys his free time in rural Connecticut with his son Tanner, daughters Chloe and Autumn, and his lovely wife Wendy. There he also builds and rides on his motocross track and ATV trails.
