I chose to work with Ohio Basement Authority because of the price and the sales presentation. Andy was very good. For the most part, the crew’s cleanup was good, and the experience with OBA was very good.

Customer Testimonial

“
I chose to work with Ohio Basement Authority because the online reviews I found were generally positive, especially compared to the competition. The lifetime warranty also was a big point, in general and because of the fact that it was not fee-based. Andy was excellent. He was knowledgeable, patient and forthright, and he gave me a general sense of comfort with the process. The installation crew called ahead, was very prompt, and was very courteous. They explained all of the steps to me, gave suggestions, and answered all of the questions I had. You could tell the team really did their best to do a quality job in all facets of the job. This is a very expensive and hard to swallow job to commit to. However, the company across the board made me feel very comfortable with everything and I felt like a quality, honest job was done.

“
OBA has been a great organization to contract with. Andy is the consummate professional. He follows through on everything he promises, and was really devoted to a good outcome for me. He went the extra mile by personally helping with the demo in my basement, which was necessary for the installation of the perimeter drain and sump. What a great asset for your company. Thanks, Andy! Your installation crew was also outstanding. They, too, are really dedicated professionals and skilled tradesmen. The lead man on the project, Milton, was very easy to work with, and gave me confidence from the outset. The amount of work the crew did in such a short period of time was remarkable. I brought in two other companies to provide quotes for the job. They were nice enough guys, but neither seemed to have OBA's refined approach or degree of professionalism. I also inspected the recent work product of one of them and was disappointed with what I saw. I'm glad I selected you because your product looks great. I've already mentioned my satisfaction with OBA to friends and family. I'll always suggest your services to people who need drainage/basement work.

“
Andy was very thorough in discussing what would be done, how, and the cost. So I didn’t bother contacting anyone else. The crew was careful about putting plastic over the flooring where they carried items in and out.

Customer Testimonial

“
Andy was very helpful and kind, and he followed through. He adjusted the quote when the installation team arrived and determined there was another option to explore first. The crew was more than courteous. They were the best service team I’ve ever used, and having served as CEO of a $1.5 billion operation with 147 sites, I’ve had an extraordinary number of teams against which to compare quality service. Larry and his crew stand head and shoulders above all others, truly. They extensively evaluated the situation, recommended an alternative to our original remediation, performed the work, and cleaned up so well you’d never know they were there. They deserve recognition.

Customer Testimonial

“
Andy Kennedy had a thorough but not pushy approach with examples of previous installs. He also was very thorough in developing a plan. His follow-up was excellent, as we had some install delays. I had two different install dates and two fine crews. Alex, Martin and Alonso were very courteous. And Larry and his crew were a crew to fight for. They went above and beyond to finish the install. If I had a business and wanted my best crew out there, it would be them.

“
Andy took his time to talk to me about the problems I was having and what caused them. He also gave me my options for repairs. It was a good presentation and it answered my questions. I chose to work with Ohio Basement Authority because of the cost and having everything explained in detail as far as what work would be done, what caused the problems, and what was most important to fix. The crew was very nice, efficient and courteous. The crew leader took pictures of the work to show me and explained what was done, which made me very happy.

Before

After

Three years ago, homeowners in Bremen, OH, purchased a second home – a cabin within Hideaway Hills. They planned to spend more time in this dwelling among the picturesque woods and hills, but they wanted to be sure to address some lingering issues in the home.

On their list of projects to tackle is the unsightly and unhealthy crawl space underneath the house. This area was not properly sealed or insulated, and the owners detected problems with moisture and mildew.

As they began to research potential repairs, the owners came across information online about Ohio Basement Authority. They met with Inspector Andy Kennedy who completed a thorough evaluation of the home’s problematic crawl space. Andy then recommended the perfect repair solutions.

Foreman Milton Castro and his crew then transformed the crawl space by encapsulating it with CleanSpace liner and insulating it with SilverGlo panels. CleanSpace is a thick and durable liner similar to swimming pool liner. This liner completely seals the crawl space to isolate it from the earth. It also acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, and it helps insulate the crawl space. For further insulation, SilverGlo insulation panels also were installed on the crawl space walls.

The homeowners now have peace of mind knowing these trustworthy repairs have helped them create a safer and healthier living environment that they will be able to enjoy for many years to come.
