There was a crack in the foundation in my crawl space. I had received 3 estimates, all with 3 different solutions. I sure was confused. I contacted a few other companies and finally I called Ohio Basement Authority. Nick took his time and thoroughly explained the issue and provided a solution. He was the only one that measured both the crawl space and the room above it and determined that the crack was not a threat to the foundation, explaining why there was not a reason to do anything at this time. I did decide to have the crawl space encapsulated. Nick's team was very courteous and respectful while in my home and completed the job in a timely manner. Don't waste your time in contacting other companies. Nick at Ohio Basement Authority knows his stuff and has the best team ever!

Richard, Javuan, Tristan did an amazing job! Walked me through how everything works and was very informative. Also a hell of a job when he floated the concrete over the gutter system. Couldnt ask for a better crew!

Justin was wonderful. He provided an array of ways to go about my project depending on what made sense for my budget. My favorite part about Justin’s free quote was that he truly prioritized what I needed & avoided the opportunity to upsell me on unnecessary solutions. Justin was passionate about his job and the impact he is making by giving people a sense of control over their homes!

My first experience was with Chase C. Very knowledgeable and spent time explaining my complex basement settlement. He scheduled the work, guided me through what I needed to do before their work could begin. He offered another walk through two days before just to assure me. Thanks Chase for your kind compassion!

Chris Schweisthal was who we worked with for our property and he was awesome. He inspected our basement, clearly explained to us the likely cause of our flooding, and then explained the solutions they offered. He was genuine and up front and we felt like he really had our best interest in mind.

Each of the workmen worked hard and was helpful and cheerful. They each did a great job and answered all questions. Ryan and Bryan did a bang-up job lifting and repairing the steps. Curtis, Jordan and Chris went the extra mile in solidifying the foundation and dealing with the unexpected in the basement, Jabaree, Garrett, and Danny did the waterproofing work, installed the dehumidifier and finished with the final concrete work. Hollis, my project manager, was available whenever I needed an answer, My Thanks to each of them for their workmanship.
