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!

Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the work we needed and the associated costs. He came to our home, took the time to have a thorough conversation with us, and answered every question we had. He’s genuine, professional, and truly seems to care about both our home and making sure the foundation work is done right. I would absolutely recommend him and the company to anyone looking for a quote!

Our Inspector, Chelsa, came to our Dayton home the other day to check on some suspected foundation settling. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, confidence and the way she went about the inspection. She walked the entire house with me, asking questions, making sure she had the layout and all adjacencies correct. After the walk-through, she set up her equipment and showed me specifically where the major problem was located and explained how it would be corrected. When she delivered her full report, it was done very professionally. When I asked her about her company and how she felt about working for them, she replied that she was proud to work for OBA and that she had a great crew working in Dayton. Chelsa also mentioned their parent company Groundworks, and the fact that they are employee owned. (Full disclosure: I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, and heard the Groundworks CEO on his podcast recently). All in all, a very, very good experience.

Eric did a thorough job reviewing my home after a relocation inspector pointed out concerns with some cracking in the foundation of my home. He remained professional and honest in his assessment of the situation while many may have tried to deceive and oversell when they heard relocation he showed great character in his review and approach. I highly recommend Eric for an honest and thorough evaluation of your home!

Chase came out and inspected our foundation, he was very thorough, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly, we didn’t end up needing any work done as it is likely a chimney issue but if we did, we’d give him a call back 100%

Vanessa from the Ohio Basement Authority assessed my basement experiencing water intrusion. She and her colleague spent 2 hours with me discussing the issue and how they would address it. I felt satisfied with their knowledge, expertise, and their sales professionalism. Ultimately we decided to patch the crack with another company, because the Basement Authority’s solution was quite pricey. We plan to call Vanessa and Ohio Basement Authority if the problem persists post patch job.

We just bought a new house, and even though we've only been here for the winter, I can already tell that Basement Authority is a five-star operation. 1. They include a lifetime warranty on their work. Not just YOUR lifetime – the lifetime OF THE PROPERTY. They did the work on our basement for the previous owners, and when we bought the house, we were able to have the warranty transferred to us. If we ever leave, the next owners will be able to get the same warranty. That's how you know they do good work! 2. A week ago, I had my first yearly check-up with Matt. Ohio Basement Authority called ME to remind me that they were running a "free check-up" deal, and we scheduled it right away! They're very conscientious that way. 3. Matt is clearly enthusiastic about his work with Basement Authority, and I can tell that the same could probably be said for just about everyone working there. He was eager to tell me all about their revolutionary advances in basement filtration / reinforcement technology – some of which were only invented in the past decade. He wasn't afraid to take his time and walk me through every single system at work in my basement and the logic behind them. 4. Their work is transformative! For our first 2 months living here, the basement looked so normal that we simply thought the basement work (done by Basement Authority for the previous owners) was preventative – maybe fixing some cracks or installing drainage pipes. My mind was blown when Matt showed me pictures of our basement from 9 months ago! It had been a total mess – mud seeping in through the corners of the foundation, nauseating puddles of black mold working their way up the walls, leaks on both sides of the basement. It's a miracle they were able to fix it up into our current "normal" basement! 5. When I asked Matt for his opinion on some additional basement work we were thinking of doing (reinforcing an additional wall), he told me how Basement Authority would go about it, and he added that they had a payment plan option for 2 years same as cash. Even the financial aspect makes sense! There you have it, 5 reasons for 5 stars. Even just at the start of my experience with Basement Authority, I know they will not disappoint me!

Eric Henderson was a great help with inspecting our basement and identifying some water leakage that could lead to mold. He helped us set up a plan to update the filtration in our basement to prevent anymore damages.
