Venessa did a great job explaining the service and benefits of a system that works to permanently solve our problem. Not only did she answer all of our questions, but she provided answers to questions we didn't know to ask.

Your inspector, Judd Bowers, was knowledgeable, informative and extremely helpful. He pointed out the problem was not in my crawl space,as I originally thought, and did not try to push me into expensive and unnecessary work.He also pointed out the real source of the problem and told me how it could be resolved. Can't say enough good things about him and how helpful he was to me. I wold definitely call on Ohio Basement Authority again if needed.

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.

We had 5 different companies come out and look at our crawlspace. James, our inspector with Ohio Basement Authority, was the only one who we truly felt had our best interest in mind. He was the only one who we really felt listened to our concerns/wants and went above and beyond to create the solution that worked best for our situation. The knowledge-base he extended to us throughout the process and his availability for questions and follow-ups was second to none. The level of service and commitment James put into working with us not only will have us coming back to OBA exclusively for waterproofing needs, but also will be the first and only recommendation I will make to anyone I encounter needing similar solutions. Appreciate all of you!

Chase was AMAZING. He was very professional and friendly. He very patiently answered our many, many questions. He was also very gracious when our dog took one of his shoes and we had to track it down. Luckily there was no damage. We are looking forward to working with him.

Ohio Basement Authority gave us a very reasonable estimate for leveling out several problem spots in our concrete driveway and walkway to our front door. Then they contacted us when a spot opened on their job schedule a few months sooner than expected. Their crew, Nick and Earl, were on time, very personable, kept us fully informed on their progress, and did a great job. Our driveway, walkway, and front-door entryway look much better, with tripping hazards gone. Very happy with the OBA's work!
