I was working with Dylan Fonner to resolve my water in my basement problem by installing their drainage system and a new sump. Dylan was very professional but I could not have the work done at this time due to Insurance. Their procedure to me is a great system and hope to be able to complete this work down the road..

Joe and his crew were fantastic! They came in and got the job done. Above and beyond! They even linked in back downspout in close vacinity to the discharge line. Looks great. Any questions I had were answered. They let me know when they were coming and finished in 2 days! I was impressed with this crew and company. Love this system so far, very quiet. Test is coming with the upcoming season and it is life time warranty! Cannot wait for phase 2 finishing to have dry and complete basement!

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.

OBA provided clear communication and timely scheduling. They were able to come out to our house within a few days of my initial call. Chase was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He made what could be an overwhelming situation stress-free, and although we realized the root cause of our issue is not something OBA can provide a solution for, I would highly recommend using them to friends and family.

Everette was a pleasure to work with today. Unfortunately after he arrived we discovered that Ohio Basement Authority does not do the kind of work needed for my project. Everette was able to offer some suggestions, and he took some pictures which he offered to forward to some contractors who may be able to complete that type of project. Thanks, Everette!

Keenan stopped at our house because we had concerns of mold due to an odd smell, and it turns out it wasn't mold. He was incredibly honest, and gave us leads on how to fix our problem. No charge, no upsell, no nonsense.

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.

Chase was great. Very thorough and explained the scope of work that would need to be done to remedy the issue. Gave me a full printed version including visual sketches to look over while making my decision. Not pushy and genuinely seemed like he wanted to help instead of just making the sale.

Very friendly when I called in. Scheduled fee estimate although I wasn’t sure they did what I needed. Even Eakle showed up at scheduled time. Immediately realized I didn’t currently need their services. I showed him what my problem was, and he actually with the use of one little tool fixed my problem perfectly on all five window wells. He was such a friendly guy great customer service. I would highly highly recommend using them if you would ever need waterproofing cement, leveling, or any other other other services I would definitely give them a call. I believe he is out of the Kent office. I’m not sure he did have a 216 area code exchange, he did a fabulous job if I ever need any waterproofing or here of anybody that needs it I would definitely tell him to call these people
