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!

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

Ryan R. & Bryan K. did an excellent job on our pool project. They started work and moved through to the end without any pause, through intermittent rain. Ryan was great in answering my numerous questions and making suggestions. Both guys were pleasant and friendly as the job progressed. Cleanup was great as well.

I had a bad experience with another basement waterproofing company before we hired Ohio Basement Authority and was very hesitant about who to go with. When Mark came out to give us a quote, he took time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. William and his crew Russel and Levi were amazing! I’m so glad we decided to go with Ohio Basement Authority for our waterproofing project!

Eddie and his team (Isaiah and Maurice) were fantastic! I would give them 10 stars if I could. They were extremely professional, friendly, competent, and efficient. Our sales rep (Chase) and concrete technician (Josh) were top notch as well. From start to finish, OBA has been a great company to work with and I’d highly recommend them for any basement, sump pump, water restoration, and gutter/downspout needs.

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 *****.

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.
