Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair in Cincinnati, OH
A crawl space is a crucial but often overlooked part of your home, offering various functional uses but also prone to significant damage if not properly maintained. Being elevated just above the ground, crawl spaces are particularly vulnerable to moisture, humidity, and other issues that compromise the structural integrity of your home and the health of your family.
These problems are common but pose serious risks that should not be ignored. Temporary, DIY solutions are not sufficient to address these issues effectively.
Your home needs lasting solutions provided by local waterproofing experts. At Ohio Basement Authority, we specialize in transforming vulnerable crawl spaces into dry, safe areas. We have been dedicated to serving homeowners in Cincinnati and surrounding areas for over a decade, and we are ready to help you protect your home.

Crawl Space Problem Signs in Cincinnati
There are numerous signs indicating that your crawl space may be experiencing problems, many of which can be subtle and difficult to detect without the expertise of local waterproofing professionals. However, you might have already noticed some indicators around your home, such as sagging floors, mold growth, musty odors, or high energy bills. If you observe any of these issues, it’s crucial to act promptly to prevent them from getting worse. These types of problems can become hazardous to your health and potentially lead to more expensive repairs.
Causes of Crawl Space Damage in Cincinnati
Your home’s crawl space may become damp and damaged due to several factors, including frequent rainfall, humid outdoor air, and external factors like the clay bowl effect or hydrostatic pressure. Despite generally good soil drainage, Cincinnati’s 44 inches of annual rainfall can overwhelm your home’s foundation drainage, leading to moisture intrusion. Additionally, internal issues such as failing sump pumps, leaking water heaters, and plumbing leaks can exacerbate moisture problems, creating an environment conducive to mold and structural damage.
Crawl Space Encapsulation & Repair Solutions in Cincinnati
After a comprehensive assessment, our knowledgeable staff at Ohio Basement Authority will provide repairs that are specifically suited to fit your crawl space. These tools include: crawl space drainage to capture groundwater, a dependable sump pump to remove the water, an energy-efficient dehumidifier to control humidity, and a vapor barrier to create a constant environment in the crawl space. Everything we install is American-made, customizable, and carries long-term, nationally backed, transferrable warranties.

Eric Gibson, the crew leader, showed up as scheduled, explained what was going to be done, and performed his work in a responsible and competent manner. When he discovered another problem, he repaired it and, thus, saved us from major issues in the future.We have already recommended the Ohio Basement Authority to three of our neighbors.

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.

Sean and Nick did great work on our basement push pier project. They always showed up on time, communicated clearly, and cleaned up after the job was finished. We were so impressed by these two hard working guys. They worked well together, and stayed on site the whole day. Took short breaks, and pushed on to get the project completed in just a few days! Highly recommend. They took care to explain things as they worked and answered any and all our questions.Leigh and Al Sassler

Steve B was professional and personable and forthcoming. He also didn't try to upsale us. His inspection process and expertise was outstanding. The company just wasn't the right fit for our needs. But I highly recomend to others

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!

Ohio Basement Authority did a great job with our basement. Damarion, Max, Rachel, and Arman were professional and knowledgeable. Damarion is great with customers. He walked me through the project, gave me updates and ensured my satisfaction with the project. The house was cleaned up prior them leaving. It is peace of mind knowing your basement is protected.
