I am leaving a review regarding maintenance of the sump pump only, which was done today, April 3, 2026, by Dave. Dave did an excellent job on the sump pump. He was very knowledgeable and conducted himself in a very professional manner. He shared some valuable information regarding operation and maintenance of the equipment, which he supported with before and after images/photographs. I am grateful for such a wonderful experience.

My home is unusualy long, large and awkwardly positioned on a steep slope. I worried for years it was too big of a task to repair thoroughly and would be far too expensive. I had quotes from various experts and never felt confident with any of their solutions. But yesterday I met Dan with Ohio Basement Authority and I have to say: MY OPINION CHANGED QUICKLY. I will never be able to thank @Dan Lauterbur enough for our home evaluation. He worked with precision and great attention to detail, addressing every nagging question, and concern I threw at him with a plethora of knowledge and expertise. His passion for construction and foundation repair was evident. Literally every minute was a fountain of knowledge; he did not rush and spent nearly 4 hours with me to complete our home evaluation, sketch and entire contract. Bringing over 25 years of experience as a general contractor, I can rest easy knowing Dan left no stone unturned during the process. Very excited to continue working with Dan as our Project Manager over the next three months and see our dreams come to fruition!!! I truly do not believe there is another foundation company out there that will have the man power for this monster of a project (32 push peirs, driveway deck, floors and more); all-the-while still making the process stress-free, smooth and affordable. Thank you @Dan Lauterbur!!! Thank you @Ohio Basement Authority!!! Best regards, Karl Rosenberg

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.

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!

Our finished basement became flooded with ground water. It was bad. We were walking in PUDDLES of water throughout the basement. A family member who is a contractor for home improvements recommended Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) Sara who works for them came to evaluate our basement issues. She fully explained the issue and the process to eliminate it. She discovered this was not a new issue for us as we found mold behind the drywall. The working crew of Tracen, Daniel, Ciadne, and Dryck all were extremely professional and answered all our questions. As we do not have an outside door from our basement, they had to hand carry all the equipment, supplies and old concrete up the basement stairs and out of the house. They did everything possible to mitigate the construction mess from laying drop cloths to putting up plastic curtains. The process for us was quick and efficient. They cleaned up all the construction mess and more. We are extremely pleased with the end product and looking forward to reclaiming our basement as living and storage space. Thank you OBA who not only fixed the issue but really addressed a potential health issue for our family! 10/10. The warranty on the work is good for the lifetime of the house.

I had an excellent experience with Ohio Basement Authority. My certified field inspector, Hollis Smith, was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough from start to finish. He took the time to explain how the crack on the driveway would be repaired utilizing videos during the process. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated his attention to detail. Highly recommend.
