Chase came out and inspected our foundation, he was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, we didn’t end up needing any work done as it is likely a chimney issue but if we did, we’d give him a call back 100%

I had oba come out and install tie backs in my wall a while back. One began leaking and they came resolved the issue and tested. Upon testing they found another leak and addressed that as well. I would highly recommend Ricky, Marice and Eddie if you ever need someone to do quality work and repairs in a friendly and efficient manner.

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.

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.

This outfit is meticulous in their service delivery! Everything was handled so professionally from the outset. From the estimation process to the completion of the project I felt taken care of rather than taken advantage of. The crew did an amazing job on our sidewalk that had sunk in front of our house and made it safe for everyone.

Ohio Basement Authority did an excellent job on the basement drainage system. The Foreman Sam and his crew, Frank and Marvin were professional throughout the install. Answered any questions and concerns as well as providing explanation on all that was being completed. Would highly recommend OBA but more importantly Sam and his crew for anyone needing a basement drainage system.
