I recently had the pleasure of working with Chase Clemens from Ohio Basement Authority, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From start to finish, Chase was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to thoroughly inspect my basement and clearly explain what was going on beneath my home in a way that was easy to understand. I really appreciated how patient he was in walking me through everything—he never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed, and he answered all of my questions with clarity and honesty. What stood out most was his transparency and willingness to educate rather than just sell. It felt like he truly cared about helping me understand my situation and make the best decision for my home. If you’re dealing with basement issues and want someone who is both skilled and trustworthy, I highly recommend asking for Chase. He made what could have been a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Thanks again, Chase!

Arrived when expected, completed the work as expected, and cleaned up. Very courteous and professional team. They buttoned up all the air leaks in our crawlspace and insulated all around. Was a very satisfactory experience. Will contact them again if we wish to do more.

Eric did a thorough job reviewing my home after a relocation inspector pointed out concerns with some cracking in the foundation of my home. He remained professional and honest in his assessment of the situation while many may have tried to deceive and oversell when they heard relocation he showed great character in his review and approach. I highly recommend Eric for an honest and thorough evaluation of your home!

We had Ohio Basement Authority install a system in our basement 5 years ago. Today was our last inspection before we re-sign for an additional 5 years inspection package. The technician Mike Davies was courteous, clean, knowledgeable and on time. I appreciate the job he performed in checking our system and continue to be impressed with the quality employees at Ohio Basement Authority. I would recommend them to anyone!

I had full crawl space remediation with OBA. Chelsa was great through the process with both explaining it and communication, and William and his crew, Russell, Levi and Owen came out did the work, kept everything neat and tidy and I feel much better now that the work is done.

Dave, Jonathan and Eric were very respectful of our home and did a fantastic job with our foundation repair. They communicated when each step was done at the end of the day and what to expect the next time they would be here. They were here every day they said they would be and did not keep us waiting. The bricks look amazing and they sealed everything nicely. Thanks again!

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!

David came out to give me some insight on a leak in our basement. Even though the problem was outside their scope of work, he spent time listening to my concerns and advised me how to solve the problem. Highly recommend their knowledgeable staff!
