We recently had our annual maintenance appointment, and our technician, Ruben, discovered that our sump pump needed to be replaced. He went above and beyond by helping us ensure the replacement was covered under our warranty and was able to install the new sump pump the very same day. Ruben was professional, honest, and extremely helpful throughout the process. We’re especially grateful that he caught the issue before it led to any water damage or other problems. Excellent service and a great experience overall!

Jayson Wright just completed the first annual maintenance on my OBA sump pump system and he did an excellent job. Jayson was very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. He did a great job explaining my sump pump functioning and how to make sure everything was working properly. Jayson also identified a couple of other items, not related to my sump pump, that we can address that will improve the overall comfort and appearance of our lake house. Thanks for a great job Jayson!

Inspector Chris Schweisthal was absolutely amazing. He sat down with us before and after the inspection. Listening to our questions, concerns, and ideas. He explained the why behind all of the items he saw. While going over the plan to fix the items discovered he made sure we understood every step and answered all questions. He even took our ideas into account explained why some would not work and even agreeing to others. It really felt like we were a team working together toward a solution.

Foundation problems are a very stressful situation to deal with, but from the beginning Ohio Basement Authority made the process effortless and brought us peace of mind not only in the choices we made for our solution but also in the financial aspect of it as well. James Sandlin was courteous and friendly from the second he stepped into our home. He was very thoroughly with the review of our foundation and the needs we were looking to meet. Sometimes in these situations it's all about the experience and he truly made this experience all the more better for us. He walked us through and educated us on the different problems foundations can have and the different solutions that help match the problems we were facing. He even gave us multiple financial choices that helped us choose what worked the best for our needs. James Sandlin with Ohio Basement Authority gained a lifetime customer to match their lifetime warranty for the work they do on our property. We are truly grateful.

Chase came out to inspect my foundation issue this week and I was super impressed. He took his time and was very thorough. Little did he know I had obtained estimates from two other companies. Sorry Chase! The inspection he did was light years ahead of the other two and the diagnosis was the same as was the fix. But, the estimate came in significantly lower and did not involve ripping off my entire deck. Chase passed the vibe check and was super personable and explained everything so a layman like me could understand. I think he deserves a bonus and a raise. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a foundation repair.

James came to our property to discuss some concrete leveling early on a very rainy Saturday morning, and I could not have asked for a more honest representative for Ohio Basement Authority. While we will not be moving forward with this specific job, we will certainly be contacting them for any future needs. He was candid, open, and honest.
