Hollis was the best. He took the time to explain everything and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend this company and Hollis to anyone looking to get their concrete lifted.

Called to get an estimate on raising my concrete driveway. Chase Clemens came out the next business day, gave me the estimate and I forwarded it to our HOA manager to get a response on the potential fix. Have lived here for less than 3 years and the concrete slab has settled about 2 inches. Very good meeting and Chase gave me the information I required. Thank You.

I recently hired this company to install two basement egress windows in one of my rental properties, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the first call, they were super quick to respond—got back to me right away, answered all my questions, and scheduled everything efficiently without any hassle. The team that came out was incredibly professional: polite, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced with egress installations. They did a fantastic job on both windows—clean cuts, solid work around the foundation, great attention to detail, and they left the site spotless when they were done. The new windows look perfect, meet code, and add real value (and safety!) to the rental. If you’re a landlord or homeowner needing egress windows, I highly recommend them. Fast, professional, and top-quality work. Will definitely use them again!

Richard B, Donte B and Javaun W completed the job in 3 days. Lots of work, but they did it in a timely fashion. Richard was very informative about the process and checked in and out each day between my husband and I. I would recommend this crew to do any basement repairs. We inspected the entire basement and everything is exactly up to what the contract advised.

Thanks to John D and Ethan.

We had an amazing experience with Chase Clemens. We can’t emphasize enough his attention to detail and thorough inspection. After serval professionals and companies that were unable to identify solutions for our basement issues, Chase did. Highly recommend him and Ohio basement authority

I am leaving a review regarding maintenance of the sump pump only, which was done today, April 3, 2026, by Dave. Dave did an excellent job on the sump pump. He was very knowledgeable and conducted himself in a very professional manner. He shared some valuable information regarding operation and maintenance of the equipment, which he supported with before and after images/photographs. I am grateful for such a wonderful experience.

We had 5 different companies come out and look at our crawlspace. James, our inspector with Ohio Basement Authority, was the only one who we truly felt had our best interest in mind. He was the only one who we really felt listened to our concerns/wants and went above and beyond to create the solution that worked best for our situation. The knowledge-base he extended to us throughout the process and his availability for questions and follow-ups was second to none. The level of service and commitment James put into working with us not only will have us coming back to OBA exclusively for waterproofing needs, but also will be the first and only recommendation I will make to anyone I encounter needing similar solutions. Appreciate all of you!
