This review is relative to the initial inspection and estimating session (mine was regarding my slab foundation). Scot was a pleasure to work with — excellent communication leading up to the appointment, super knowledgeable and informative, and also had a great sense of humor. I was presented with several options, received honest guidance regarding what might be more or less urgent, and I never felt like I was being sold unnecessary services. The initial session takes a bit of time (again, very thorough), but this is communicated upfront. I’m in the process of getting a few estimates before I decide the path forward, but I am happy that I included this company on my short list.

Stephen from Ohio Basement Authority was able to come at emergency notice and fix a problem with my sump pump that was causing it to spill water into my basement during a storm. Even if he hadn’t been able to come so quickly he had already put out a notification to other basement waterproofing companies in our area that there was an emergency and that I needed help quickly, putting my needs over that of any monetary motivation.

My 5 star review is for Chase he came out for an inspection and quote his honesty and professionalism was on point, he did not act like a sales he instead acted as a contractor and was very intelligent on the contractor side

Joe and his crew came out today to fix a previously botched job by this company. I'm not sure how so many things went wrong with the water proofing service of our basement, but I am confident these guys fixed the problems. Very nice, professional and explained everything that was done wrong and how he fixed it.

This outfit is meticulous in their service delivery! Everything was handled so professionally from the outset. From the estimation process to the completion of the project I felt taken care of rather than taken advantage of. The crew did an amazing job on our sidewalk that had sunk in front of our house and made it safe for everyone.

Chase was great. Very thorough and explained the scope of work that would need to be done to remedy the issue. Gave me a full printed version including visual sketches to look over while making my decision. Not pushy and genuinely seemed like he wanted to help instead of just making the sale.

Ohio Basement Authority gave us a very reasonable estimate for leveling out several problem spots in our concrete driveway and walkway to our front door. Then they contacted us when a spot opened on their job schedule a few months sooner than expected. Their crew, Nick and Earl, were on time, very personable, kept us fully informed on their progress, and did a great job. Our driveway, walkway, and front-door entryway look much better, with tripping hazards gone. Very happy with the OBA's work!

Our inspector James was thorough and knowledgeable. Obviously an expert as he answered all our questions and showed video of the process. He understood our needs and took time to explain everything we asked he was efficient and super nice! We felt he was honest and wasn’t pushy! If he was pushy we would not have trusted his advice! We have made the appointment for our repairs! Thank you James!

My first experience was with Chase C. Very knowledgeable and spent time explaining my complex basement settlement. He scheduled the work, guided me through what I needed to do before their work could begin. He offered another walk through two days before just to assure me. Thanks Chase for your kind compassion!

I've lived with a wet basement for many years. Tonight I spoke with Jacob Nesbitt a very knowledgeable and professional inspector. Jacob explained everything that would happen step by step. I can't wait for them to get started on my basement waterproofing.

Highly recommended! Had Chase out to look over my house a few days ago. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. Ended up giving us better news then we were expecting and also showing us a few things to help avoid future issues. We will be referring him and his company out with confidence
