We heard about Ohio Basement Authority through Angie's List.
We looked at a couple other places and asked for estimates, but the other quotes were higher and the companies were not as responsive or well-established.
This is a cohesive company.
We had an outstanding crew. They were all good guys who worked hard, and got the project done on schedule. They were diligent and conscientious, and they were very careful with our old carpet. I have no complaints.

Ohio Basement Authority encapsulated the crawl space and installed four SmartJacks, each with a poured concrete base, to raise the floor joists and provide support.
It went very well. We knew a large area of the floor wasn’t level by about 1 1/4″ because a wall wasn’t load bearing that probably should have been. After the project had begun, the crew quickly adjusted their plans to pour the concrete and install the SmartJacks before finishing the encapsulation.
They finished in two days. The floor feels more solid, and it is noticeably more level. They also did the necessary things to do the job, like re-routing the dryer vent and a duct.
The encapsulation is working as expected. The crawl space is now room temperature, and the above room’s floor is also room temperature.
