Was having issues with humidity and water in our crawl space. William's crew (Russell, Levi, Marvin) with Ohio Basement Authority came out and encapsulated it. They were friendly, professional, and efficient with their work. I am throughly impressed and will look forward to the annual check up next year. We are impressed with their workmanship.

James came to our property to discuss some concrete leveling early on a very rainy Saturday morning, and I could not have asked for a more honest representative for Ohio Basement Authority. While we will not be moving forward with this specific job, we will certainly be contacting them for any future needs. He was candid, open, and honest.

Jacob Nesbitt in my home was a positive experience, and a refreshing experience after other estimators. He was thorough, honest, and earned my trust with his demeaner. He reviewed my options, quoted financing, and I choose to use his company because of his respectful communication style. I felt confident after getting my free quote that negotiating the complex situation in my basement would not only be possible with him, but that we would succeed in getting the results we need. Honestly, its difficult to open your home to a stranger who you need help from on a large project, and it was nice to feel good about it for a change. Ohio Basement Authority is a good mix of national corporation but still has a small business feel.

We had OBA lift our concrete home entrance pad and connected walkway. Over the years this had become a safety hazard. The work was done as agreed too: curing the hazard and improving the look of the walkway. The OBA project team, Ryan an Bryan, were excellent to work with. They explained what they were going to do and kept us informed periodically as they progressed. We are pleased with the results.

I had a whole bunch of work (encapsulation, new sump pumps, new insulation, the works) done on my crawl space by Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) in June 2026. I had so much water in the crawl space that I am almost surprised that the city didn't tax me for having a pool. All the OBA guys that I interacted with were nice chill dudes. My initial meeting was with Everette and he provided a ton of information. It was a crash course in crawl spaces. The work was done later by William and his crew (Steven, Owen, Levi, and the other guys who I have unfortunately forgotten their names – sorry). The whole crew was all really friendly, kept me updated on what was going on, and answered my questions; as silly as those questions may have been. It's easy to overlook the crawl space, it's not exactly a place where folks spend a lot of time. But water where it's not supposed to be will be the ruin of a house. Call the OBA guys and get ahead of the game.

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!

Had a great experience with Ohio Basement Authority recently when they came out to look at our crawl space for encapsulation. Dakota Hruby was the one who did the inspection, and he was fantastic—super friendly, professional, and really took the time to walk me through everything. What stood out the most was how thorough he was. He didn’t just do a quick once-over and leave; he explained things in detail, answered all my questions, and made sure I actually understood what was going on down there and why certain fixes were recommended. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. Overall, I was really impressed with the quality of the inspection and how much time they spent with me. It felt like they genuinely cared about doing things right. Definitely recommend if you’re looking into crawl space work.
