I am leaving a review regarding maintenance of the sump pump only, which was done today, April 3, 2026, by Dave. Dave did an excellent job on the sump pump. He was very knowledgeable and conducted himself in a very professional manner. He shared some valuable information regarding operation and maintenance of the equipment, which he supported with before and after images/photographs. I am grateful for such a wonderful experience.

Ohio Basement Authority did not provide the cheapest estimate, but they were the most professional in their presentation. Dan made a thorough inspection of our house and then spent much time explaining the problem and how they would fix it. We were very impressed with Dan , and the company.

I had an outstanding experience with Darin DeRosa, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly personable. He conducted a detailed inspection and took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I felt supported and confident throughout the process. This was my third time going through this, and Darin provided the level of comfort and dedication I had been looking for. He was truly committed to helping me succeed, and thanks to his efforts, I was approved for the loan I needed to finish my basement. It’s clear why this company maintains a five-star reputation, and Darin is a big part of that. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. He absolutely deserves a promotion for the way he represents the company.

This outfit is meticulous in their service delivery! Everything was handled so professionally from the outset. From the estimation process to the completion of the project I felt taken care of rather than taken advantage of. The crew did an amazing job on our sidewalk that had sunk in front of our house and made it safe for everyone.

Very very very nice job done on my basement. It took long but they had a good team! I had one basement guy who worked evenings who explained everything he did and made me understand the process. I’m happy that it’s finished!!! Definitely would recommend

Norbert was absolutely fantastic, he was incredibly thorough and took the time to answer every question I had. He was also very informative and detailed in what work was going to be done and how. He brought tools to show me the moisture that was in my basement and just overall left a great impression. Absolutely would reccomend him to everyone.

We haven't scheduled service yet, but Eric Henderson came out to do a full inspection of our basement. He was very thorough and told us multiple options of solutions for our basement. He was not pushy and seemed to really believe in his company's solutions.

Howard came out to do an inspection in my basement for water damage/leaking. He was absolutely amazing! I liked that he had videos detailing exactly what they were going to do. He gave me an opportunity to ask questions before I had the work perform instead of during. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.
