Sean and Nick did great work on our basement push pier project. They always showed up on time, communicated clearly, and cleaned up after the job was finished. We were so impressed by these two hard working guys. They worked well together, and stayed on site the whole day. Took short breaks, and pushed on to get the project completed in just a few days! Highly recommend. They took care to explain things as they worked and answered any and all our questions.Leigh and Al Sassler

Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) installed my inside French drain and I couldn’t be more pleased. The install went quick and smooth. OBA does yearly checks of the system. A pleasant young man named Kyle was the tech today and besides being thorough he was very informative and efficient. All my interactions with employees of OBA was been pleasant and would recommend their services.

Initially I didn’t enjoy the work done by Ohio basement authority and left a bad review. However they sent a new crew at no charge. Alan and Frankie came and fixed the work done. They were both really professional and polite. I appreciate the work they did on my home and I hope that gets back to them somehow. Thanks for coming and fixing the previous work that I was unhappy with.

We had Ohio Basement Authority install a system in our basement 5 years ago. Today was our last inspection before we re-sign for an additional 5 years inspection package. The technician Mike Davies was courteous, clean, knowledgeable and on time. I appreciate the job he performed in checking our system and continue to be impressed with the quality employees at Ohio Basement Authority. I would recommend them to anyone!

Wonderful experience from the start with Nick, and then the crew of Robert, Elijah, and Morgan. The timely and constant communication from the onset to the end of the project simply cannot be beat…they genuinely care about their customers and fixing the issues they have been designated to handle. Their work ethic is also a breath of fresh air, expect them to work hard on your property while respecting the home and home owner. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.

We had a Crawl Space Encapsulation completed recently. We got the recommendation from family that have used them before. We could not have asked for a better Team! Kevin was our inspector and was patient with our many questions and sincere in what our personal needs were. Ben was our foreman, he was also extremely patient with questions, and there were many. He made sure we knew exactly what was going on at each stage. All of the Crew that worked with us were courteous, hard working, and friendly! We had Ty with Ben one day! Jeremiah came for electrician consult, it was a pleasure to meet him. Next Crew with Ben was Trenton and K.C….these young men worked hard all day to complete this job and clean up was perfect. Corey did our electrical work and made sure all was safe….as we had some confusing electric lines under there! I feel so satisfied with this experience. And safe and secure in my home! Thanks to All Of You!

Had a great experience with Ohio Basement Authority recently when they came out to look at our crawl space for encapsulation. Dakota Hruby was the one who did the inspection, and he was fantastic—super friendly, professional, and really took the time to walk me through everything. What stood out the most was how thorough he was. He didn’t just do a quick once-over and leave; he explained things in detail, answered all my questions, and made sure I actually understood what was going on down there and why certain fixes were recommended. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of the inspection and how much time they spent with me. It felt like they genuinely cared about doing things right. Definitely recommend if you’re looking into crawl space work.
