OBA encapsulated our home's crawl space, including insulation, in late February, 2026. Giovanni and his team were in and out in just six hours, and kept us well informed on the progress. They really knew what they were doing and couldn't have been easier to work with.

Joe and his crew came out today to fix a previously botched job by this company. I'm not sure how so many things went wrong with the water proofing service of our basement, but I am confident these guys fixed the problems. Very nice, professional and explained everything that was done wrong and how he fixed it.

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.

Dan Lauterbur came to my house to advise me regarding some basement cracking and seepage that had been previously treated by another company. His assessment was thorough and detailed and noted several concerns that I had not previously been aware of. He was very helpful in advising me as how to best proceed and what to ask and look for when the company that did the original warrantied work returns to readdress the problems. If the original company fails to adequately address the concerns or if new problems arise in the future, I will most certainly be back in touch with the Ohio Basement Authority.

Our century old house need to have some posts installed to fix a sagging issue caused by old renovations before us. OBA was so helpful and informative that when we were ready to repair the quickly scheduled us and even moved us up. Iran H. And Chris M. were amazing professionals and left our basement cleaner than when they started. Highly recommend.
