This past Friday while I was on my way out the door for work while a monsoon was coming down I went through my basement which had previously had the interior drainage done in April around 90% of my basement floor. And noticed a large amount of water running in from an old abandoned pipe that runs through the block and my sewage pipe that runs through block. I called Ohio basement authority to come and take a look to see what they can do to fix the issue and they had scheduled me with Kyle. He was very courteous and apologetic about what was going on. He presented to me what his plan was to fix the leaking issue and not only did he do that. He put on a clear paint like material on a spot where just a small amount of water was coming through and re routed my wiring that went into my sump pit to make it look more neat and presentable and to keep it from catching on the sump pump float. He told me he would do it as if it was his house and I really appreciate everything that he had done. Thanks again Kyle.

Venessa did a great job explaining the service and benefits of a system that works to permanently solve our problem. Not only did she answer all of our questions, but she provided answers to questions we didn't know to ask.

I selected Ohio Basement Authority to bring my crawlspace up to my satisfaction so that I could sell my home and not pass the problem onto the next homeowner. I got the free inspection, and I was informed about what was recommended. I agreed to the recommendations and the team of Iran, Chris M and Zack K, took care of my crawlspace in a very professional matter. Iran kept me updated during the entire process and he showed genuine concern about wanting to meet my expectations. The team completed the job in a timely manner to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority.

Our inspector James came today and it was obvious he was an expert. He arrived in a timely manner and was very nice professional and knowledgeable . He took time to answer all our questions and explained the process both verbally and with videos. James presented in a very trustworthy way without being pushy. If he would have been pushy we would not have scheduled the service! He was A + across the board! Thank you!

I had my concrete lifted recently by Ohio Basement Authority. I was very much impressed by the initial inspection and recommendations by Charles. And I was very impressed by the work of the two gentlemen who did the actual lifting. They managed to lift it significantly without cracking the concrete. James and Pedro were outstanding!
