Chase came out and inspected our foundation, he was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, we didn’t end up needing any work done as it is likely a chimney issue but if we did, we’d give him a call back 100%

Chase was AMAZING. He was very professional and friendly. He very patiently answered our many, many questions. He was also very gracious when our dog took one of his shoes and we had to track it down. Luckily there was no damage. We are looking forward to working with him.

I had basement work done by OBA in 2015, removal of French drain in a house that was built in 1932. Wall guard, triple safe sump pump, and dehumidifier installed. Best thing I ever did. March 2026 experienced @ 12 hour power outage. Sump pump failed(10+years old). Had a OBA service call that determined sump pump had to be replaced. That size pump no longer available, and a larger pump (AquaStop triple pump)would require enlarging the pit. The battery had been replaced 2 years prior, but had failed with the pump not working. The service was scheduled and I was not charged for the new battery & case, since it was only 2 yrs. old. They also gave me a 3 yr. maintenance extension, at a discounted price. 03/31/26 a 3 man crew arrived on time, covered everything with plastic and completed the job in 3 hours. Did a great job cleaning up and replacing the furniture that had to be moved. Excellent work, Tracyn, Ali and Blu.

We hired Basement Authority to fix our foundation, and overall we had a very good experience. There was a small issue during the process, but the company really stepped up and took care of it promptly and professionally. It meant a lot to us that they stood behind their work and made sure everything was done right. That kind of accountability is hard to find this these days thank you Annette Finlayson

Ohio Basement Authority did not provide the cheapest estimate, but they were the most professional in their presentation. Dan made a thorough inspection of our house and then spent much time explaining the problem and how they would fix it. We were very impressed with Dan , and the company.
