Inspector Chris Schweisthal was absolutely amazing. He sat down with us before and after the inspection. Listening to our questions, concerns, and ideas. He explained the why behind all of the items he saw. While going over the plan to fix the items discovered he made sure we understood every step and answered all questions. He even took our ideas into account explained why some would not work and even agreeing to others. It really felt like we were a team working together toward a solution.

Wayne Gray with Ohio Basement Authority was great to work with. We called to get a quote for leveling our driveway, and he was extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of our questions without rushing us. Wayne was professional, respectful of our time, and genuinely helpful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a detailed and professional evaluation.

Had OBA waterproof the basement previously. Reached out to Mark Overmyer concerning a crack I noticed outside in the foundation. He was quick to follow up and came by a couple days later to take measurements and assess. Really friendly and helpful experience. Thank you again Mark!

We had our Basement waterproofed and everyone we worked with was excellent! Jacob came out to assess our basement and was professional, friendly, and not at all pushy or trying to sell us something we didn't need. We decided to be proactive and waterproof our basement. Aaron Ison and his team came to our house over a 2 day period and were great! Very professional, explained everything they were doing throughout the process, and kept everything clean. It was a great experience and would recommend them for all your basement needs.

I started noticing my floor was sagging in my 125 year old home and was worried the foundation was compromised. Doug at Ohio Basement Authority came out and was very thorough with what needed to be done and walked me through my options. Once the permit was approved, the team completed the job in 3 days! The crew was knowledge and very nice. Highly recommend using Ohio Basement Authority!
