Great experience from sales to job completion. William’s crew (Levi and Russel) were great with communication, took care to make sure dust didn’t get everywhere. Our basement looks great and looking forward to it being dry after the next rain. Thanks!

Highly recommended! Had Chase out to look over my house a few days ago. He was very thorough and took the time to explain everything. Ended up giving us better news then we were expecting and also showing us a few things to help avoid future issues. We will be referring him and his company out with confidence

I recently had the pleasure of working with **** *. from Ohio Basement Authority on a challenging basement project, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. While the job took longer than initially expected due to unforeseen complications, ****** commitment and professionalism never wavered. He consistently followed through on every promise he made, keeping me informed and at ease throughout the process.**** was joined by ***** *. and ***** *., who were incredible teammates. These two were hardworking, reliable, and just as pleasant to have around. They worked tirelessly, never once slowing down or losing focus. The team as a whole was exceptional, and their efforts were truly appreciated.What stood out the most, though, was ****** attitude. Even when problems arose, which inevitably happens with a job of this magnitude, he maintained the most positive and professional demeanor Ive ever encountered with anyone working in my home. He approached each challenge with a smile, finding solutions without letting it affect the quality of his work or the rapport he built with us.**** is the kind of worker you dont come across every day. If I had to pay double to have **** back for every project, I absolutely wouldits that rare to find someone as dedicated and trustworthy as him.Overall, I couldnt be more satisfied with the experience and the results. If youre looking for a team that will treat your home with the utmost care, work tirelessly, and deliver outstanding results, you simply cant go wrong with ***** ****** and *****.

I selected Ohio Basement Authority to bring my crawlspace up to my satisfaction so that I could sell my home and not pass the problem onto the next homeowner. I got the free inspection, and I was informed about what was recommended. I agreed to the recommendations and the team of Iran, Chris M and Zack K, took care of my crawlspace in a very professional matter. Iran kept me updated during the entire process and he showed genuine concern about wanting to meet my expectations. The team completed the job in a timely manner to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority.

My experience with Ohio Basement Authority was excellent from the initial phone call to schedule an inspection to the completion of the work. Jacob, the inspector, did an excellent job of explaining all parts of the process of installing supports on two basement walls. I felt he really made an effort to keep the cost as low as possible. Also excellent was the crew that did the work. The foreman, Tyson, along with Shaun and Josh, worked hard and did an excellent job of cleaning up when finished. Tyson kept me informed throughout the day of the progress they were making. I would recommend Ohio Basement Authority to anyone needing basement/crawlspace work. In the past several months, my husband passed away followed soon after by my dad and then my mom. This work was at my parent's home and this was the first time I have handled such a project on my own. I appreciate how all of you made it.

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.

Had my crawlspace encapsulated by Williams crew with russel, Levi and Jason working under him. They turned my crawlspace from a war torn disaster to a perfect showroom. These guys were efficient, knowledgeable and professional. They worked around any issues that came up and proficiently answered any questions I had. A glowing review for them on my part and if I have any other basement issues I'd ask for them personally

Shout out to Seth and Tyler for doing an excellent job fixing our uneven side walks! They were in exceptionally bad shape and they took great care to make sure that things were level and that the siding wasn’t damaged. Thank you both for your solid work and professionalism! My husband and I will make sure to send our friends to Ohio Basement Authority if they need sidewalk or foundation repair!!!

I had basement work done by OBA in 2015, removal of French drain in a house that was built in 1932. Wall guard, triple safe sump pump, and dehumidifier installed. Best thing I ever did. March 2026 experienced @ 12 hour power outage. Sump pump failed(10+years old). Had a OBA service call that determined sump pump had to be replaced. That size pump no longer available, and a larger pump (AquaStop triple pump)would require enlarging the pit. The battery had been replaced 2 years prior, but had failed with the pump not working. The service was scheduled and I was not charged for the new battery & case, since it was only 2 yrs. old. They also gave me a 3 yr. maintenance extension, at a discounted price. 03/31/26 a 3 man crew arrived on time, covered everything with plastic and completed the job in 3 hours. Did a great job cleaning up and replacing the furniture that had to be moved. Excellent work, Tracyn, Ali and Blu.

Jordan came out to check our basement due to nonstop water coming in from the drains. He cannot figure it out why so much water coming in. My husband lives in this house for over 30 years and nothing like this happens. This is the second time water episode issue in our basement. Jordan went outside and check until he pointed out the construction next to our house. He is a life saver because been dealing this water for 3 days. Only happened when this construction for water lines begins. And we didn’t know until this new company Basement Doctor came out.

Dylan, our Certified Field Inspector from Ohio Basement Authority, was excellent! He was polite and professional, was honest during the inspection about the state of our basement. He didn't try to sell us on unnecessary work, but advised us on what to watch for as our basement/house continues to age. Integrity is important to me, and I would 100% both recommend Ohio Basement Authority to others with basement/foundation needs, as well as work with this organization in the future for our own needs. Our experience with Ohio Basement Authority was outstanding!
