We had an amazing experience with Chase Clemens. We can’t emphasize enough his attention to detail and thorough inspection. After serval professionals and companies that were unable to identify solutions for our basement issues, Chase did. Highly recommend him and Ohio basement authority

John Carlson was our electrician and he had to run a dedicated line for our new sump pump. He was very professional and didn't give up even though our old house threw some pretty big curveballs his way! Marcus was in charge of the demo, drilling and laying down the new drainage system. He was Uber polite, very knowledgeable and finished in the time allotted.

I had basement work done by OBA in 2015, removal of French drain in a house that was built in 1932. Wall guard, triple safe sump pump, and dehumidifier installed. Best thing I ever did. March 2026 experienced @ 12 hour power outage. Sump pump failed(10+years old). Had a OBA service call that determined sump pump had to be replaced. That size pump no longer available, and a larger pump (AquaStop triple pump)would require enlarging the pit. The battery had been replaced 2 years prior, but had failed with the pump not working. The service was scheduled and I was not charged for the new battery & case, since it was only 2 yrs. old. They also gave me a 3 yr. maintenance extension, at a discounted price. 03/31/26 a 3 man crew arrived on time, covered everything with plastic and completed the job in 3 hours. Did a great job cleaning up and replacing the furniture that had to be moved. Excellent work, Tracyn, Ali and Blu.

OBA provided clear communication and timely scheduling. They were able to come out to our house within a few days of my initial call. Chase was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He made what could be an overwhelming situation stress-free, and although we realized the root cause of our issue is not something OBA can provide a solution for, I would highly recommend using them to friends and family.
