Our finished basement became flooded with ground water. It was bad. We were walking in PUDDLES of water throughout the basement. A family member who is a contractor for home improvements recommended Ohio Basement Authority (OBA) Sara who works for them came to evaluate our basement issues. She fully explained the issue and the process to eliminate it. She discovered this was not a new issue for us as we found mold behind the drywall. The working crew of Tracen, Daniel, Ciadne, and Dryck all were extremely professional and answered all our questions. As we do not have an outside door from our basement, they had to hand carry all the equipment, supplies and old concrete up the basement stairs and out of the house. They did everything possible to mitigate the construction mess from laying drop cloths to putting up plastic curtains. The process for us was quick and efficient. They cleaned up all the construction mess and more. We are extremely pleased with the end product and looking forward to reclaiming our basement as living and storage space. Thank you OBA who not only fixed the issue but really addressed a potential health issue for our family! 10/10. The warranty on the work is good for the lifetime of the house.

Mike came out recently to look at our foundation, driveway, and a sunken corner of the garage. He was patient, informative, and honest. He didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need and was even happy to talk through the evaluations I’d gotten from other companies. Great experience!

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!
