Matt M. did a walk around outside of our house for foundation cracks or problems before he inspected the crawlspace. My wife and I sat down with Matt and were very happy with his assessment to address our concerns. We set a date and time to begin work to install additional Jacpipes and beams. Iran H. and Chris M. called the night before to authorize an earlier start time. They arrived on time. They began working in the crawlspace and cleaned up the work area. Iran and Chris showed us pics and stated they will return to make the adjustments to the jacposts. Very courteous and professional. We recommend the company.

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.

Our inspector James came today and it was obvious he was an expert. He arrived in a timely manner and was very nice professional and knowledgeable . He took time to answer all our questions and explained the process both verbally and with videos. James presented in a very trustworthy way without being pushy. If he would have been pushy we would not have scheduled the service! He was A + across the board! Thank you!

Chase was AMAZING. He was very professional and friendly. He very patiently answered our many, many questions. He was also very gracious when our dog took one of his shoes and we had to track it down. Luckily there was no damage. We are looking forward to working with him.

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.
