8.31.2023Update.After miscommunication I believe we are all set and we will see how it functions!That was fixed.Just waiting on final finished walls to be done which would have been next week but I couldn't do that so will be the following!And now my 2 year old washing machine is leaking from the bottom. If I knew this was going to completely ruin capacity to do laundry……they should have extended the sump pump.Or said you can't use your washer dryer.Got a call yesterday and he had no clue what was discussed discussed aND still needed to be fixed. From Friday evening To Monday 4 pm it was never communicated..So Day three and the plumber was sent out as promised. Matt who was the person I met first who does the assessments now is really great at being hands-on. I met with one of their competitors the day after Matt came. Matt struck me as honest and I read BBB reviews. Ohio Basement stood out because they remedied issues. The other guys did not. The others tried to get me…all 3 of them …to sign that night. Which made me want to say my doors here…bye! Matt simply told me facts. He came out tonight and moved my washer back for me. He told me a plumber was coming and they did. They guys who worked on the basement were really nice and professional. My basement crawl space no longer smells and the musty basement odor is reduced significantly already.A few loose ends which Matt is working on will be fixed and it'll be 5 stars.

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

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!

Chris Schweisthal provided us with a great inspection and repair recommendation for concrete settling we've witnessed within our garage, driveway, and front stoop/apron. While we weren't able to immediately sign a contract, he was quite friendly and professional to work with and did not pressure us into a contract. He answered all of questions. We'll definitely keep him and Ohio Basement Authority in mind if we move forward.

Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the work we needed and the associated costs. He came to our home, took the time to have a thorough conversation with us, and answered every question we had. He’s genuine, professional, and truly seems to care about both our home and making sure the foundation work is done right. I would absolutely recommend him and the company to anyone looking for a quote!
