Foundation problems are a very stressful situation to deal with, but from the beginning Ohio Basement Authority made the process effortless and brought us peace of mind not only in the choices we made for our solution but also in the financial aspect of it as well. James Sandlin was courteous and friendly from the second he stepped into our home. He was very thoroughly with the review of our foundation and the needs we were looking to meet. Sometimes in these situations it's all about the experience and he truly made this experience all the more better for us. He walked us through and educated us on the different problems foundations can have and the different solutions that help match the problems we were facing. He even gave us multiple financial choices that helped us choose what worked the best for our needs. James Sandlin with Ohio Basement Authority gained a lifetime customer to match their lifetime warranty for the work they do on our property. We are truly grateful.

Working with Justin to set up an appointment was very professional. We had a little hiccup but Justin and Ohio Basement Authority corrected things and made it right. That is greatly appreciated. OBA sent out a great crew of Tyler and Earl! Very professional and personable. Walked me through everything they were going to do and made suggestions along the way. They did an amazing job with the concrete lifting as well as cleaning up afterwards. After working with Justin, Tyler and Earl, I will be employing them for later projects. Thanks, OBA!

I have been noticing cracks in the outside corners of my foundation walls. Contacted a foundation repair company for an opinion. The representative arrived, spent 15 minutes looking at the cracking corners and proceeded to explain what needed to be done to repair my failing foundation. He didn't ask to go inside to look at the basement walls and never once reached out to me (other than emailing his estimate for repair) after leaving. Today I met with Max Waller from your company! From the very beginning Max was amazing! He brought a laser level and showed me the slight changes in the foundation due to settling over time. He went inside to the basement and took additional measurements of changes to the walls. In total he spent close to 2.5 hours inspecting, measuring and answering my many questions. By the time he finished I had complete confidence that his assessment of my foundation was honest and accurate! I plan on having him back out for a follow up towards the end of the summer months. You have special team member in Max!!

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!

OBA provided clear communication and timely scheduling. They were able to come out to our house within a few days of my initial call. Chase was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He made what could be an overwhelming situation stress-free, and although we realized the root cause of our issue is not something OBA can provide a solution for, I would highly recommend using them to friends and family.

Home Repair Specialists in Cincinnati

Cincinnati is situated along the Ohio River in southwest Ohio. This area and nearby locales including Hamilton, Mason, and Middletown have a fairly humid, continental type of climate. Cold and snowy winters, wet springs, and hot and rainy summers keep the area and its soil well-saturated. The Cincinnati soil series is made up of deep, well-drained soils that contain silt loam, silty clay loam, and clay loam. The clay soil can have a significant impact on your home’s foundation by expanding and exerting incredible pressure on the walls. This leads to wall cracks, bowing, and water leaks. Moisture and humidity also can easily infiltrate your home through the basement or crawl space and contribute to mold growth, sagging floors, and pest infestations.

While these problems are common in Cincinnati homes, they’re not normal to live with. Your health and your home’s structural stability will be negatively impacted the longer they are neglected. But the professionals at Ohio Basement Authority can help you better protect your home by installing permanent, fully customizable foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair solutions.
