We have had a fantastic experience with this company. They have taken care of all of our our water removal needs and offered fantastic advise. They serviced our sump pump after and fixed it for free after the warranty had expired. Matt was very professional and helpful. Will continue to use this company.

Ohio Basement Authority did an excellent job on the basement drainage system. The Foreman Sam and his crew, Frank and Marvin were professional throughout the install. Answered any questions and concerns as well as providing explanation on all that was being completed. Would highly recommend OBA but more importantly Sam and his crew for anyone needing a basement drainage system.

We had our field inspector Dave Sycz come out to look at our basement. He called ahead of time and was right on time for the appointment. Dave was very thorough explaining everything. I'd highly recommend him to inspect your basement. He has been doing it for a long time and has lots of knowledge. Thanks Dave!

Dylan, our Certified Field Inspector from Ohio Basement Authority, was excellent! He was polite and professional, was honest during the inspection about the state of our basement. He didn't try to sell us on unnecessary work, but advised us on what to watch for as our basement/house continues to age. Integrity is important to me, and I would 100% both recommend Ohio Basement Authority to others with basement/foundation needs, as well as work with this organization in the future for our own needs. Our experience with Ohio Basement Authority was outstanding!

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

Great company. They are on top of everything. They do excellent work,in and out no issues. They stand by their warranties and their annual service is no joke. If you have a problem, or may have one soon They let you know and it's either taken care of that day or the servicer will actually write you up a quote on the spot for new work.

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.

Daniel,Jon,and Kyle showed up to redo trench drain. This is the fourth crew to do work for us. The five stars are for the professionalism and way they handled the job, not for Basauth. Poor management and lack of follow-up. This crew rectified a couple small issues other than the shitty drain work. Again if you used these guys as examples of good work ethic and doing the best job that they can with limited resources you might not have customers like me seriously questioning your business ethics and practices. I’m

I was working with Dylan Fonner to resolve my water in my basement problem by installing their drainage system and a new sump. Dylan was very professional but I could not have the work done at this time due to Insurance. Their procedure to me is a great system and hope to be able to complete this work down the road..

Vanessa came out to give us an estimate on our crawlspace and she was great. She was very easy to talk to, took her time, and explained everything thoroughly so I understood the process and my options. She never made me feel rushed and was very knowledgeable. Overall a great experience and I really appreciated her professionalism.
