Ohio Basement Authority did a great job! They were friendly and helpful from the moment we contacted them until the job was finished. We received a quote and explanation from Caleb that explained the project in detail. Caden and Serg did an excellent job on the repair work raising our porch and walkway. Thank you for a great job and experience.

I highly recommend Chase! He went above and beyond with his inspection and made sure I understood not only the solutions available to me but even taught me about how foundations of homes are built – which I didn’t know too much about considering my house was built in the late 1800s. He was able to help me with finding a solution to my concerns and I trust that my house will be in good hands.

I selected Ohio Basement Authority to bring my crawlspace up to my satisfaction so that I could sell my home and not pass the problem onto the next homeowner. I got the free inspection, and I was informed about what was recommended. I agreed to the recommendations and the team of Iran, Chris M and Zack K, took care of my crawlspace in a very professional matter. Iran kept me updated during the entire process and he showed genuine concern about wanting to meet my expectations. The team completed the job in a timely manner to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority.

Norbert was absolutely fantastic, he was incredibly thorough and took the time to answer every question I had. He was also very informative and detailed in what work was going to be done and how. He brought tools to show me the moisture that was in my basement and just overall left a great impression. Absolutely would reccomend him to everyone.

Dan Lauterbur came to my house to advise me regarding some basement cracking and seepage that had been previously treated by another company. His assessment was thorough and detailed and noted several concerns that I had not previously been aware of. He was very helpful in advising me as how to best proceed and what to ask and look for when the company that did the original warrantied work returns to readdress the problems. If the original company fails to adequately address the concerns or if new problems arise in the future, I will most certainly be back in touch with the Ohio Basement Authority.

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!

Chase with Ohio Basement Authority was great. Very polite and professional. He spent adequate time explaining their process and repair recommendations. He provided a very detailed quote and gave multiple payment options including financing, if needed.

Troy Wilson came out to my house to look at something in my basement that I have had issues with since the basement system was put in. The guy who came and did my inspection 2 years ago told me this was not covered under the life time warranty they provide. I thought that was ridiculous. But I had to live with it. Irritated with them now, Troy came out this year and said "yeah I'm going to fix that for you. It's covered under the warranty." FANTASTIC!!!!! I am thankful for Troy coming out and being professional and no bullshit crap. No excuses just fixed it. Super happy with him. Thanks again.
