Great job during our basement waterproofing by Ohio Basement Authority. Super efficient and good communication by Richard and his crew: Donte, Javaun and Dijon. Very considerate of our property and did a good job cleaning up as well. Would recommend them anytime! Electrician John Carlson got us off to a good start too and Matt Carson for explaining everything well and good communication.

Vanessa has been really easy and fun to work with!! She included everything on our wish list to the proposed floor plan which was surprising given our small space! She was very honest and so easy to communicate with. Even after she left I reached out to see if she could change something on our floor plan, and she had the changes sent to me within a few hours. Extremely impressive!!

Dan came out to inspect my home for some moisture along the basement walls. Thankfully, the solutions were identified and should solve the problems. Dan explained a lot to me about how lifting and stabilizing my concrete porch would help to stop water making its way to the foundation. He was also very helpful in explaining many things about home building I never knew. I felt a bit more empowered and at ease learning about how my basement drainage is set up. I have yet to have the work done on the front sidewalk and porch but look forward to the fix.

5 star review for Dan! Dan as an inspector came out to our house and had a genuine interest in our home, the problem we were having and thoroughly explained his background experience and cared for us. Dan did not even mention a sale price to us once during our inspection. I felt he trusted and comfortable with our experience with OBA because of our experience with Dan. Will be giving them a call in the future for our Basement repair needs.

Richard, Javuan, Tristan did an amazing job! Walked me through how everything works and was very informative. Also a hell of a job when he floated the concrete over the gutter system. Couldnt ask for a better crew!

Our century old house need to have some posts installed to fix a sagging issue caused by old renovations before us. OBA was so helpful and informative that when we were ready to repair the quickly scheduled us and even moved us up. Iran H. And Chris M. were amazing professionals and left our basement cleaner than when they started. Highly recommend.

This review is relative to the initial inspection and estimating session (mine was regarding my slab foundation). Scot was a pleasure to work with — excellent communication leading up to the appointment, super knowledgeable and informative, and also had a great sense of humor. I was presented with several options, received honest guidance regarding what might be more or less urgent, and I never felt like I was being sold unnecessary services. The initial session takes a bit of time (again, very thorough), but this is communicated upfront. I’m in the process of getting a few estimates before I decide the path forward, but I am happy that I included this company on my short list.

I consulted with many contractors before choosing Ohio Basement Authority. Their online reputation seemed legitimate and my initial consultation with Chelsa immediately credentialed their approach, which seemed very broad in their expertise, thorough, and thoughtful. Their availability to both estimate and install the solution was uncommonly well organized. Chelsa impressed me so much I was a tad worried it might be one of those deals where everything sounds good initially, but the execution could disappoint. Wow – there was no disappointment; the execution was flawless. I don’t know who owns or runs this company, but you can tell their leadership has it together and hires good people. Iran H, Chris M, and Zach K arrived early on the morning of the install and ready to do some serious work. Immediately you could tell – this is what they do and they are both good at it and very experienced. They hustled without rushing, and the finished product was incredible. When examining the space together after they were done, I realized I failed to communicate a few small items that Chelsa and I discussed during the solution design. Iran, Chris and Zach were understanding and gracious with their times; they addressed and resolved all the additional items. Not going to lie – this company is not the cheapest option I looked at. But if you want a thing done once and done correctly – you can seriously trust in them based on my experience. Check out the before and after photos. No more horrible smells, high humidity promoting mold to threaten the structural integrity, and unsealed openings for rodent infiltrations. Thank you all for doing such an excellent job!

We had Ohio Basement Authority out to do a complete encapsulation on our 2500 square foot crawl space. From the start of the process our sales representative Joel was extremely helpful. He worked up several different options for us and never tried to over sell he just genuinely tried to help us through the process. Once the work began Richard and his crew, John, Johan and Jhorfry were extremely professional. They always communicated when they would be arriving, updated us on the progress and worked long hours to hit their intended goals for the day. They left each day with their work area clean and organized and made sure at the end of the project that everything was how it was originally. We highly recommend Richard and his crew for any service or projects their experience made this project go very smoothly. Thanks guys !

You get what you pay for and this company is worth it….they were upfront with the costs and the work that needed to be done. Alan and his team worked so well together. The work done was top notch and they explained what they were doing every step of the way. Would definitely use them again.Carol Puhlmann

Richard, Donte, Javaun did a great job. Richard, the Forman, made sure to see if I had any questions about the product and job from start to finish. You can't really see from the photos but they built up the dirt after they were done to help keep it from washing away. I would definitely recommend.

Matt Koons, Ohio Basement Authority, came to look at what we needed, explained the work process to us, gave us our estimate, and explained all of the contract. We got scheduled and then our work date was moved up due to a cancellation, so our entire job (estimate to completion) was finished in less than a week. Very happy with our project and with Ohio Basement Authority.
