I was working with Dylan Fonner to resolve my water in my basement problem by installing their drainage system and a new sump. Dylan was very professional but I could not have the work done at this time due to Insurance. Their procedure to me is a great system and hope to be able to complete this work down the road..

Dave Syz, the inspector is very professional and compassionate. We have been in this house not even a year and having to deal with leaking into the walls of a beautifully finished basement, albeit a finishing scam, is a harrowing experience. Dave alleviated many concerns and answered every question I had, and some I didn't. He is an asset to his company and I look forward to finishing the job with these guys/gals.

Chase came to our house to do an inspection to figure out where the water in our basement was coming from. He was very knowledgeable, kind, professional and thorough. He answered all of our questions and did a great job explaining everything to us. Chase was very easy to talk to and is passionate about his job and you can tell he really wants to help his customers. He is very organized and used his expertise to help us with figure out options for a solution. I would highly recommend Chase for a home inspection. We enjoyed the time we spent with him.

I had leaks all across my basement, so I called Ohio Basement Authority since I saw them working on a neighbors property. Jared Brown, my project manager, inspected the problems and got a plan in motion within days of calling. He helped me with any questions I had (even after completion) and kept the project goals reasonable. Once construction started (busy season, month delay) they were done within a few days. Job was done quickly and professionally with the mess very well contained. I definitely recommend them if you’re having foundation issues like I was!

My experience with Ohio Basement Authority was excellent from the initial phone call to schedule an inspection to the completion of the work. Jacob, the inspector, did an excellent job of explaining all parts of the process of installing supports on two basement walls. I felt he really made an effort to keep the cost as low as possible. Also excellent was the crew that did the work. The foreman, Tyson, along with Shaun and Josh, worked hard and did an excellent job of cleaning up when finished. Tyson kept me informed throughout the day of the progress they were making. I would recommend Ohio Basement Authority to anyone needing basement/crawlspace work. In the past several months, my husband passed away followed soon after by my dad and then my mom. This work was at my parent's home and this was the first time I have handled such a project on my own. I appreciate how all of you made it.

Chase came out to inspect my foundation issue this week and I was super impressed. He took his time and was very thorough. Little did he know I had obtained estimates from two other companies. Sorry Chase! The inspection he did was light years ahead of the other two and the diagnosis was the same as was the fix. But, the estimate came in significantly lower and did not involve ripping off my entire deck. Chase passed the vibe check and was super personable and explained everything so a layman like me could understand. I think he deserves a bonus and a raise. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a foundation repair.

Eddie and his team (Isaiah and Maurice) were fantastic! I would give them 10 stars if I could. They were extremely professional, friendly, competent, and efficient. Our sales rep (Chase) and concrete technician (Josh) were top notch as well. From start to finish, OBA has been a great company to work with and I’d highly recommend them for any basement, sump pump, water restoration, and gutter/downspout needs.
