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

We had our field inspector Dave Sycz come out to look at our basement. He called ahead of time and was right on time for the appointment. Dave was very thorough explaining everything. I'd highly recommend him to inspect your basement. He has been doing it for a long time and has lots of knowledge. Thanks Dave!

Caden and Chris came over to my house to complete an annual check on my basement wall. During their visit, they were polite and friendly. They even changed my sump pump back up battery, rewired it and fixed my leaky pipe. They went way above and beyond and provided the best customer service I have received in as long as I can remember. Overall 10 stars, I would recommend them to everyone!!

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!!

Wayne Gray with Ohio Basement Authority was great to work with. We called to get a quote for leveling our driveway, and he was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of our questions without rushing us. Wayne was professional, respectful of our time, and genuinely helpful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a detailed and professional evaluation.

The folks at Ohio Basement Authority were able to quickly able to schedule an appointment and send a rep out to do an estimate when I found out I had water intrusion in my basement. Their rep, Dakota Hruby, was a consummate professional. He clearly explained everything and answered all my questions. He helped put my mind at ease during this very stressful time.

John Carlson was our electrician and he had to run a dedicated line for our new sump pump. He was very professional and didn't give up even though our old house threw some pretty big curveballs his way! Marcus was in charge of the demo, drilling and laying down the new drainage system. He was Uber polite, very knowledgeable and finished in the time allotted.
