"I had a drainage system installed on August 7, 2025. After the first rainfall, I reported issues on August 13. The company returned and said a batch of PVC used did not have proper perforations and had to be manually modified. Since then, the system has continued to show problems, including erosion and exposed drainage pipe within less than a year. In December 2025, I submitted another service request. An appointment was scheduled, then rescheduled to January 2, 2026, but no one showed up and I received no communication. I followed up on January 6 and provided multiple dates I was available, but never received a response. Recently, I reached out again and was told the issue was not covered under warranty and to stop trying to schedule appointments. Very disappointing experience and lack of follow-through."

"Xavier completed the installation and fully tested the system with me there to observe to confirm operation of my existing sump pump and the new battery back up pump. While there he troubleshot a check valve problem that was discovered during testing and installed new check valves with no up charge from his quoted price."

"The project was scheduled for 3/11/26, but the "pro" was running late and needed to reschedule. So we moved the day to 3/18/26 @ 10:00. Great! Everybody's on the same page and ready to rock. On 3/18/26 at 10:00, there's no call, no show, no project, no nothing. This is not the behavior of a "pro." This is unprofessional. Next time, I'll find someone who wants the work and handles their business properly and professionally. That company is NOT LIBERTY GENERAL CONTRACTING! "

"The service was performed by one of the field managers, who did the job personally, so I didn’t have to wait all day. He was very efficient, and very professional. He also made some recommendations that could save me money down the road. His name is Jason, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. If anyone is undecided about who to hire to do any kind of work, you won’t go wrong with Mr Rooter. Will definitely be calling them for any future projects I may have.."

"For the homeowners who discovered mold in their home, and are stressed and worried about the potential cost of the eradication process, you need not look any further than these guys! Craig showed up promptly on the day day and time of our appointment, and my wife and I were immediately impressed and comfortable with his warmth and knowledge! During his assessment, he took his time pointing out the obvious areas and certain problems we never noticed! He did this not to frighten or pressure us, but being informative about the reason for for the presence of the mold! But what shocked us was the total cost of eradication...it was almost half of what 2 other companies had quoted us! His crew of young men worked tirelessly and were friendly and courteous to a fault. No complaints about their cleanup efforts either! We would highly recommend this company in a heartbeat! Ray & Lisa Jones, Delaware, Ohio"

"Mid-State Basement Systems came highly recommended by a good friend from Buffalo, NY and they did not disappoint. From start to finish they were very professional yet personable. Larry & Phil in the initial stages of the basement inspection and a reasonable quote. Silvino and his team who done the actual work was incredible, done with absolute excellence. They were here when they said they would be and finished the job a day ahead of schedule. I am thoroughly pleased with this company, first class. I highly recommend them if you need work done on your basement.******"

FAQs for sump pump or interior foundation drains installation projects in Lancaster, OH

Most residential pumps draw approximately 1,300 to 2,900 watts when they first start, then settle at roughly 800 to 1,050 watts during normal operation. The exact number depends on the motor’s horsepower and how often the float switch tells the pump to run. Even at the high end, the electricity cost is minor compared with the expense of cleaning up a flooded basement.

Grab a ruler and an empty 18‑inch‑wide pit. During a steady rain, time how much the water rises in one minute. Multiply that depth (in inches) by 60 to calculate gallons per hour, then add 50% for safety. If the result tops 2,100 gallons per hour—about 35 gallons a minute—you’ll need a 3/4‑horsepower unit. Anything lower, and a 1/3- or 1/2-horsepower pump should do the trick.

Loud rattling, constant cycling, or shuddering vibrations are the pump’s way of telling you it’s on its last legs. Musty smells, higher electric bills, and visible rust are other red flags. If the unit is 10 years old or older and exhibits any of these symptoms, replace it before the next heavy rain turns your basement into a wading pool.

You don’t have to hire a licensed plumber, but you should still bring in someone who installs sump pumps for a living—whether that’s a plumber, basement‑waterproofing specialist, or experienced handyman. They know the local codes, can wire the pump safely, and will test the system before they leave. Skipping professional help might void the warranty and could leave you with a pump that fails when you need it most.

Not every basement needs a pump, but if your home sits in a floodplain, has a high water table, or has ever taken on water during a storm, a sump pump is inexpensive insurance. For basements that only struggle with condensation or the occasional damp spot, sealing cracks and improving drainage may be all that is needed.
