Jayson Wright just completed the first annual maintenance on my OBA sump pump system and he did an excellent job. Jayson was very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. He did a great job explaining my sump pump functioning and how to make sure everything was working properly. Jayson also identified a couple of other items, not related to my sump pump, that we can address that will improve the overall comfort and appearance of our lake house. Thanks for a great job Jayson!

Michael Davies came out and fixed a couple issues with root systems and adjusted the dehumidifier. Was very thorough and informative the entire time. Explained what was going on in detail. The pipes flowing out were dug up replaced and grass put back. All by one guy in 90 degree weather. Great service.

I had a whole bunch of work (encapsulation, new sump pumps, new insulation, the works) done on my crawl space by Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) in June 2026. I had so much water in the crawl space that I am almost surprised that the city didn't tax me for having a pool. All the OBA guys that I interacted with were nice chill dudes. My initial meeting was with Everette and he provided a ton of information. It was a crash course in crawl spaces. The work was done later by William and his crew (Steven, Owen, Levi, and the other guys who I have unfortunately forgotten their names – sorry). The whole crew was all really friendly, kept me updated on what was going on, and answered my questions; as silly as those questions may have been. It's easy to overlook the crawl space, it's not exactly a place where folks spend a lot of time. But water where it's not supposed to be will be the ruin of a house. Call the OBA guys and get ahead of the game.

Did everything wanted/expected and more. The last inspection I had was by Steven Fortae he was extremely knowledgeable was able to answer all my questions and explain the why behind the answers. He took his time laser measured everything and explained what to look for outside and I side the house. He even showed me the area of my house were it was engineered wrong (built in 1966). Fortunately for me I already fixed that and he explained what I did right and why and how it should have been designed originally.

Ohio Basement Authority did phenomenal work. Our inspector, David D was incredibly professional and obviously passionate about what he does. From start to finish he meticulously explained what was going on and how to fix it, all while easing concerns and answering any questions that we had. Our installation crew, Iran H, Chris H, and Zach K were awesome. They were professional, courteous, and weren’t invasive or disruptive in the slightest. I especially want to point out that these guys came out and worked in about a foot of snow and below freezing temperatures on both of the days that they were out. You’re not going to get that from the competition. If you want a sump pump system with proper drainage installed, and you want it installed right, OBA is the way to go.
