Cracking, sinking, and uneven concrete is dangerous and lowers your home’s value. The best way to fix it is with professional concrete leveling and lifting—explore how it works on this page.
We’ve all seen a driveway or sidewalk that looked uneven or cracked. Concrete damage doesn’t look great, and it lowers the curb appeal of any property. Not to mention, concrete damage may cause damage to vehicles driving over it or injury to anyone walking over it.
If you have damaged concrete on your property, it’s time to consider concrete leveling and lifting. This is the process by which concrete is lifted back into a safe position—usually by injecting some kind of material below the concrete itself.
Ohio Basement Authority uses an industry leading leveling method called polyurethane injection. With this modern solution, our team can lift your concrete back to a safe position and prevent damage in the future.

Concrete damage is usually easy to spot; just look at the surface of concrete on your property. Do you notice cracks along the surface? Maybe you have an cracked driveway or a sinking porch. You might also notice sections of concrete that are sinking. Depending on where the concrete is located, it might experience more subtle types of damage such as pitting, flaking, and staining. If you see any damage on your concrete, consider contacting Ohio Basement Authority for a free concrete inspection to come up with a plan to fix it.
Concrete is a sturdy material, but it also needs a sturdy base to support it. Well, for most concrete structures, this sturdy base ends up being the soil itself. Unfortunately, this is where most concrete damage comes from: soil that becomes weak or displaced. After a heavy storm, soil may be wet, muddy, and eroded—conditions that make it hard to hold the heavy weight of concrete. As a result, concrete will sink and crack as it moves. Other sources of damage include invasive tree roots or extremely heavy loads on top of the concrete.
In our experience, the best way to level and lift concrete is with polyurethane injection. This is a material that uses polyurethane foam (a synthetic material) to fill in gaps beneath the concrete. It’s particularly useful because the material is waterproof, so once it’s placed below the concrete, it won’t erode due to rain or snow. We use PolyRenewal™, our patented version of polyurethane injection. Once the material is injected below the concrete it expands and cures in just 15 minutes—so you can get back to using your concrete the same day as installation.

From our very first encounter with Ohio Basement Authority, Tyler S. and Preston D. were nothing short of amazing! Not only were they prompt and professional, they understood our wants and needs and designed a plan to make it happen. The installation team (Iran H., Chris M., Damarion A.) were equally as wonderful! Even after the work was done, Preston D. followed up to make sure everything was still satisfactory. I can’t recommend these guys enough. Thank you, OBA!

Great work deserves high praise, and I have nothing but high praise for Ohio Basement Authority (“OBA”) and, in particular, the individuals that performed my work. I worked with the folks at their Cincinnati office on push pier installation and poly injection to stabilize and correct a foundation settlement issue on my house. Although I interviewed three different companies specializing in this type of work, I was most impressed with OBA for many reasons and ultimately decided to go with OBA, a decision which I am glad that I made.
I initially met with Mark Overmyer for the initial evaluation and proposed solution to correct my foundation issue. Right from the start I was really impressed with Mark’s straightforward and comprehensive explanation of the services I would need….Mark is an engineer and even showed me the exact point where my home was starting to settle using his transit and other tools, which helped explain the number and location of push piers needed. His precision and thoroughness really impressed me. However, there were other things that made me decide to use OBA. For example, I found OBA’s contract to be fair and balanced when compared to my review of competitor contracts. Also, OBA does things by the book and got the necessary permits….that unfortunately may not necessarily always the case with other companies. I also spoke to other OBA customers and they had nothing but great things to say about OBA and how pleased they are with the work they performed. I definitely liked OBA’s product warranty and the fact that, unlike some companies, OBA does not charge an excess per foot additional charge should a pier exceed a specific depth, which could really increase the project cost should it occur. The fact that OBA does what it takes to install piers at whatever depth so required to be solid and stable and at no additional charge gave me much peace of mind.
The OBA folks on the front end for sales and contracting were excellent to work with, but the actual individuals on the installation crew were even more so and absolutely outstanding in every respect. I had a crew comprised of Sean (the foreman), Elisha and Simon doing the push piers. For the poly injection part of the job I had a crew comprised of Seth (the foreman) and his colleague (sorry but I can’t recall his name). It is rare to see such a hard-working and conscientious group of workers. The moment they arrived, they impressed me with how professional and customer-oriented they were, and it was that way throughout the job. All of the great things I had heard from others about OBA when I was doing my research definitely played out on my job with these individuals. Unfortunately, the Google rating system is only five stars for the highest rating, but these fellows deserve at least eight or ten stars on a five star rating system.
I found OBA to be a fine company to do business with, and the individuals I dealt with from there on every stage of the project were exceptional and did a fine job of representing OBA as a company.

8.31.2023Update.After miscommunication I believe we are all set and we will see how it functions!That was fixed.Just waiting on final finished walls to be done which would have been next week but I couldn't do that so will be the following!And now my 2 year old washing machine is leaking from the bottom. If I knew this was going to completely ruin capacity to do laundry……they should have extended the sump pump.Or said you can't use your washer dryer.Got a call yesterday and he had no clue what was discussed discussed aND still needed to be fixed. From Friday evening To Monday 4 pm it was never communicated..So Day three and the plumber was sent out as promised. Matt who was the person I met first who does the assessments now is really great at being hands-on. I met with one of their competitors the day after Matt came. Matt struck me as honest and I read BBB reviews. Ohio Basement stood out because they remedied issues. The other guys did not. The others tried to get me…all 3 of them …to sign that night. Which made me want to say my doors here…bye! Matt simply told me facts. He came out tonight and moved my washer back for me. He told me a plumber was coming and they did. They guys who worked on the basement were really nice and professional. My basement crawl space no longer smells and the musty basement odor is reduced significantly already.A few loose ends which Matt is working on will be fixed and it'll be 5 stars.
