He did not go to college but immediately began his career as a self-employed carpenter remodeling and building homes. He was contracted to build a 3,000 square foot house at age 18 and was spec building by age 20.〔Terry Tanker (August 1, 2011) (Larry Janesky, owner and founder of Basement Systems Inc ). HVACRBusiness.〕 The last home he worked on had a leaking crack in one of the basement walls. He researched how to correct the issue and became aware of the basement waterproofing industry. Following the stock market crash of 1987 the demand for new home construction declined and Janesky decided to focus on basement waterproofing.〔Simpson, Stan (May 6, 2013) (Up from the (wet) basement ). Hartford Business Journal.〕 In 1987 he started his own company in Stratford, CT calling it Connecticut Basement Systems. Janesky invented and developed a line of waterproofing products of which he was the exclusive installer. He acquired patents on his waterproofing products and currently owns 31 patents.〔(February 8, 2014) (February 8: Larry Janesky, Connecticut Entrepreneur (Part 1) ). FoxCT.〕 A few years later in 1990 Janesky created a network of basement waterproofing contractors naming it Basement Systems, Inc. The contractors were made the exclusive dealers and installers in their area of the patented waterproofing products. The network grew and in 1998 Basement Systems Inc. purchased a 92,000 square foot building in Seymour, CT. Over the next decade additional space was needed and three more buildings in the area were purchased creating an industrial campus of 50 acres and a workspace of 210,000 square feet.〔Amato, Anne M.
