Matt M. did a walk around outside of our house for foundation cracks or problems before he inspected the crawlspace. My wife and I sat down with Matt and were very happy with his assessment to address our concerns. We set a date and time to begin work to install additional Jacpipes and beams. Iran H. and Chris M. called the night before to authorize an earlier start time. They arrived on time. They began working in the crawlspace and cleaned up the work area. Iran and Chris showed us pics and stated they will return to make the adjustments to the jacposts. Very courteous and professional. We recommend the company.

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.

Called to get an estimate on raising my concrete driveway. Chase Clemens came out the next business day, gave me the estimate and I forwarded it to our HOA manager to get a response on the potential fix. Have lived here for less than 3 years and the concrete slab has settled about 2 inches. Very good meeting and Chase gave me the information I required. Thank You.

Met with Nick T. to review some concerns about my house’s foundation. Nick was on-time, knowledgeable, and courteous. He throughly reviewed my situation, clearly explaining along the way, and advised a logical approach rather than attempting to up sell me. Will definitely use Ohio Basement Authority for future needs.

Our century old house need to have some posts installed to fix a sagging issue caused by old renovations before us.

Initially I didn’t enjoy the work done by Ohio basement authority and left a bad review. However they sent a new crew at no charge. Alan and Frankie came and fixed the work done. They were both really professional and polite. I appreciate the work they did on my home and I hope that gets back to them somehow. Thanks for coming and fixing the previous work that I was unhappy with.

Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) installed my inside French drain and I couldn’t be more pleased. The install went quick and smooth. OBA does yearly checks of the system. A pleasant young man named Kyle was the tech today and besides being thorough he was very informative and efficient. All my interactions with employees of OBA was been pleasant and would recommend their services.

Thorough and efficient. I was extra needy and they were very respectful and fulfilled all my wishes wo question. The price beats the local competition by far too. I don’t want any more foundation issues but if I had more of them, I’d use this company again.
