We just bought a new house, and even though we've only been here for the winter, I can already tell that Basement Authority is a five-star operation. 1. They include a lifetime warranty on their work. Not just YOUR lifetime – the lifetime OF THE PROPERTY. They did the work on our basement for the previous owners, and when we bought the house, we were able to have the warranty transferred to us. If we ever leave, the next owners will be able to get the same warranty. That's how you know they do good work! 2. A week ago, I had my first yearly check-up with Matt. Ohio Basement Authority called ME to remind me that they were running a "free check-up" deal, and we scheduled it right away! They're very conscientious that way. 3. Matt is clearly enthusiastic about his work with Basement Authority, and I can tell that the same could probably be said for just about everyone working there. He was eager to tell me all about their revolutionary advances in basement filtration / reinforcement technology – some of which were only invented in the past decade. He wasn't afraid to take his time and walk me through every single system at work in my basement and the logic behind them. 4. Their work is transformative! For our first 2 months living here, the basement looked so normal that we simply thought the basement work (done by Basement Authority for the previous owners) was preventative – maybe fixing some cracks or installing drainage pipes. My mind was blown when Matt showed me pictures of our basement from 9 months ago! It had been a total mess – mud seeping in through the corners of the foundation, nauseating puddles of black mold working their way up the walls, leaks on both sides of the basement. It's a miracle they were able to fix it up into our current "normal" basement! 5. When I asked Matt for his opinion on some additional basement work we were thinking of doing (reinforcing an additional wall), he told me how Basement Authority would go about it, and he added that they had a payment plan option for 2 years same as cash. Even the financial aspect makes sense! There you have it, 5 reasons for 5 stars. Even just at the start of my experience with Basement Authority, I know they will not disappoint me!

Ohio Basement Authority installed an egress window for me. Joe Stuber and his crew were a pleasure to work with. The excavation and block cutting necessary for installation of an egress window are messy jobs. I appreciated the fact that Joe and his crew took extra care to keep the mess to an absolute minimum. Joe was also great about letting me know what his intentions were for the job and confirming that his intentions would meet my expectations. As a result, I couldn’t be more pleased with my new window and the people at OBA.

Richard, Donte, Javaun did a great job. Richard, the Forman, made sure to see if I had any questions about the product and job from start to finish. You can't really see from the photos but they built up the dirt after they were done to help keep it from washing away. I would definitely recommend.

He pointed out the problem was not in my crawl space,as I originally thought, and did not try to push me into expensive and unnecessary work.He also pointed out the real source of the problem and told me how it could be resolved. Can't say enough good things about him and how helpful he was to me. I wold definitely call on Ohio Basement Authority again if needed.

Thank you Ohio Basement Authority for having Damon on your team.

I was really impressed with the quoting experience with Mark! He was friendly, thorough and offered me a few different solutions without feeling "salesy". Unfortunately, the potential foundation repairs were for a home that I was under contract to buy, but had to backout because the seller refused to lower the purchase price to compensate. However, based on the genuine experience with Mark, I'd recommend this company!

First time using OBA for some basement work and the entire experience was top-notch. From the initial consultation with Matthew to the work being completed with Drake and Kevon, the process was well explained, quick, and professional. We will definitely consider them first if any additional basement work comes up!

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.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Justin B from OBA for our waterproofing basement and foundation repair project, and I cannot recommend him enough! From the moment Justin B arrived, he brought a warm friendly energy that instantly made us feel at ease! His knowledge of both Italian and Jamaican cultures added a charm to our conversation and it felt like chatting with an old friend rather than a representative trying to make a SALE! He took the time to thoroughly explain the estimates & what needed to be done, ensuring we understood every aspect of the process! We truly appreciated how patient he was answering all our questions and making sure we felt comfortable with our choices! What stood out the most was Justin's passion for what he does & the company he partly owns! He was genuinely invested in helping us find the RIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR OUR HOME,which really inspires confidence in the work OBA offers! If you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, Justin B. Is definitely your guy! Thank you Justin B. For making this experience so positive for our family! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Thomas & Elizabeth Chipman of Florence KY
