Ohio Basement Systems Certified Field Inspector Jacob Letner was very informative about the company and the work to be done having our garage leveled. Jacob Letner's was on time and very precise and honest! He showed us work that we thought had to be done and through the proof of the instruments he used was proof that we did not need basement work. Thank you Jacob Letner!

Our Inspector, Chelsa, came to our Dayton home the other day to check on some suspected foundation settling. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, confidence and the way she went about the inspection. She walked the entire house with me, asking questions, making sure she had the layout and all adjacencies correct. After the walk-through, she set up her equipment and showed me specifically where the major problem was located and explained how it would be corrected. When she delivered her full report, it was done very professionally. When I asked her about her company and how she felt about working for them, she replied that she was proud to work for OBA and that she had a great crew working in Dayton. Chelsa also mentioned their parent company Groundworks, and the fact that they are employee owned. (Full disclosure: I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, and heard the Groundworks CEO on his podcast recently). All in all, a very, very good experience.

Scot came by for a free quote and offered extensive advice and information about out houses situation. While we haven't signed up to do official business with them yet, I have no doubt we will based on their initial quote and review of our property.

Fantastic Service. Basement Authority installed 3 Geo-Lock supports in the basement to shore up a bowed wall. Very pleased with the work preformed and the crew of Zach, Mike and Milton were wonderful. Very conscientious workers who went out of their way to avoid tracking dirt into the house.

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!

This is my second pending job with Ohio basement. The inspector, James Sandlin, was on time, communicative and extremely easy to work with. He was very thorough and was at my home for several hours taking a wide variety of measurements. His recommendation was in line what I assumed I needed and gave me confidence in my purchase decision. For this critical type of work I highly recommend James and Ohio basement.

Killer experience. My basement went from feeling like a cave in death trap to a safe sturdy place welcome for guests. Jokes aside, the work performed initially as well as the yearly tune up and inspections have been extremely satisfying. Just had my last inspection with Kyle where he exceeded all expectations and was very friendly the entire time. I fully recommend the company, and will be contacting them for future projects.

I had my concrete lifted recently by Ohio Basement Authority. I was very much impressed by the initial inspection and recommendations by Charles. And I was very impressed by the work of the two gentlemen who did the actual lifting. They managed to lift it significantly without cracking the concrete. James and Pedro were outstanding!
