Dave Syz, the inspector is very professional and compassionate. We have been in this house not even a year and having to deal with leaking into the walls of a beautifully finished basement, albeit a finishing scam, is a harrowing experience. Dave alleviated many concerns and answered every question I had, and some I didn't. He is an asset to his company and I look forward to finishing the job with these guys/gals.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chase Clemens from Ohio Basement Authority, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, Chase was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to thoroughly inspect my basement and clearly explain what was going on beneath my home in a way that was easy to understand. I really appreciated how patient he was in walking me through everything—he never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed, and he answered all of my questions with clarity and honesty. What stood out most was his transparency and willingness to educate rather than just sell. It felt like he truly cared about helping me understand my situation and make the best decision for my home. If you’re dealing with basement issues and want someone who is both skilled and trustworthy, I highly recommend asking for Chase. He made what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Thanks again, Chase!

Dan Lauterbur came to my house to advise me regarding some basement cracking and seepage that had been previously treated by another company. His assessment was thorough and detailed and noted several concerns that I had not previously been aware of. He was very helpful in advising me as how to best proceed and what to ask and look for when the company that did the original warrantied work returns to readdress the problems. If the original company fails to adequately address the concerns or if new problems arise in the future, I will most certainly be back in touch with the Ohio Basement Authority.

Travis came out to the house on time and was super friendly and helpful. Turns out my walls were already fixed and didn’t need to be repaired by then. He was very helpful and letting me know how I could fix it on my own and didn’t need their service. I am very thankful for honest businesses who don’t try and sell you something you don’t need! Thank you Travis!

Chase was great. Very thorough and explained the scope of work that would need to be done to remedy the issue. Gave me a full printed version including visual sketches to look over while making my decision. Not pushy and genuinely seemed like he wanted to help instead of just making the sale.

We hired Basement Authority to fix our foundation, and overall we had a very good experience. There was a small issue during the process, but the company really stepped up and took care of it promptly and professionally. It meant a lot to us that they stood behind their work and made sure everything was done right. That kind of accountability is hard to find this these days thank you Annette Finlayson
