Ohio Basement Systems Certified Field Inspector Jacob Letner was very informative about the company and the work to be done having our garage leveled. Jacob Letner's was on time and very precise and honest! He showed us work that we thought had to be done and through the proof of the instruments he used was proof that we did not need basement work. Thank you Jacob Letner!

I worked with Scott Phillips and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this gentleman. He was very courteous, and spent extra time explaining this process to me. He was so detailed and made sure that I completely understood the process. He called the Engineer so I could ask him questions as well! I am completely comfortable with my choice of Ohio Basement Systems!! Thank you Scott for all of your help!!!

Last week I asked Ohio Basement Authority to come out to investigate why my floor was so cold and why cold air was coming in from the bottom of the fireplace. Dylan came out as promised and did an extremely thorough investigation. I was surprised and impressed with how interested and determined he was to figure out the issue. He looked outside, inside, and spent lots of time in the crawlspace. He found places in the crawlspace that were of particular concern and explained what would be the best solutions. He showed pictures and took his time explaining his reasoning. Then he was very willing to explain it again to my son and a friend so they could help me decide. No pressure, professional demeanor. I can tell he loves what he is doing and takes pride in doing it honestly and with excellence. Dylan has made me feel confident having the work done by Ohio Basement Authority.

From our very first encounter with Ohio Basement Authority, Tyler S. and Preston D. were nothing short of amazing! Not only were they prompt and professional, they understood our wants and needs and designed a plan to make it happen. The installation team (Iran H., Chris M., Damarion A.) were equally as wonderful! Even after the work was done, Preston D. followed up to make sure everything was still satisfactory. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Thank you, OBA!

Joe and his crew came out today to fix a previously botched job by this company. I'm not sure how so many things went wrong with the water proofing service of our basement, but I am confident these guys fixed the problems. Very nice, professional and explained everything that was done wrong and how he fixed it.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Matt Koons from Basement Authority for an evaluation of my concrete driveway and walkway. From the moment he arrived, Matt was exceptionally polite, professional, and courteous. He conducted a comprehensive evaluation, thoroughly explaining the process and answering all my questions. What truly impressed me was his ability to create a custom quote on the spot, while fully honoring my specific wishes and concerns. Matt's expertise was evident, and I felt completely confident in his assessment. But what truly set him apart was his character. As he was leaving, he noticed a stranger struggling to break down and load some outdoor storage I had placed at the curb. Without hesitation, Matt jumped in to help, demonstrating genuine kindness and a willingness to go above and beyond. Matt Koons and Basement Authority have earned my highest recommendation. Their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly outstanding. If you need concrete lifting or any basement services, don't hesitate to call them. 5 stars!

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.

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

Richard, Deonte, and Javaun did an amazing job. They stayed late, and worked really hard every minute they were here. They constantly communicated what they were doing and proceeded with care as if it was their own home. We are extremely satisfied with their work. Great group of guys and would recommend them to anyone!!!!! Our garage could have collapsed at any minute and they were so careful to make sure they and my family were both safe.
