5 star review for Dan! Dan as an inspector came out to our house and had a genuine interest in our home, the problem we were having and thoroughly explained his background experience and cared for us. Dan did not even mention a sale price to us once during our inspection. I felt he trusted and comfortable with our experience with OBA because of our experience with Dan. Will be giving them a call in the future for our Basement repair needs.

Justin was wonderful. He provided an array of ways to go about my project depending on what made sense for my budget. My favorite part about Justin’s free quote was that he truly prioritized what I needed & avoided the opportunity to upsell me on unnecessary solutions. Justin was passionate about his job and the impact he is making by giving people a sense of control over their homes!

Nick was incredibly knowledgeable and honest about the work we needed and the associated costs. He came to our home, took the time to have a thorough conversation with us, and answered every question we had. He’s genuine, professional, and truly seems to care about both our home and making sure the foundation work is done right. I would absolutely recommend him and the company to anyone looking for a quote!

William and his crew ( Russell and Levi) from Ohio basement Authority. Did an excellent job on a recent waterproofing of our basement and encapsulation of our crawlspace. We also had a sump pump installed and did an excellent job on installing with very minimal impact to our yard. Would recommend them any time.

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

Arrived when expected, completed the work as expected, and cleaned up. Very courteous and professional team. They buttoned up all the air leaks in our crawlspace and insulated all around. Was a very satisfactory experience. Will contact them again if we wish to do more.

James ******* is fantastic. He quickly identified several issues in our home using advanced equipment and visual inspection. He explained the process of the crawlspace encapsulation and showed us photos so that we understood exactly what is beneath our home. He has worked very well with the contractor from ****, Wayne, who is also excellent. The two of them have agreed on several things, and will work together to try to save our subfloor we were previously told had to be ripped out. We have very scary issues with our house (mold, sagging beams from a dishwasher leak and the foundation shifting due to this). James has drawn a diagram of the house as far as he can for now. Wayne from **** is doing the same. Our HVAC must be ripped out before James can evaluate the rest of our house, but he was able to show us where we have crawlspace and where it is slab. We highly recommend this very knowledgeable and professional technician. We trust him and are grateful he and the other contractor are able to work so well together to try to help us during one of the worst nightmares of our lives. Their calm mannerisms are helping us not panic, and we know they could have padded the bill and ripped out the sub floor. Not wanting to do this shows us even more so that we can trust James to make the best decision to help us. He got down in our crawlspace that is very short in freezing weather and took photos of everything. He is dedicated and he really cares.

Zeke Fowler with Ohio Basement Authority provides great service and advice. He stabilized a poorly attached and moving addition. I may need then to stabilize a chimney but we are waiting to see if it is still moving. Zeke has been with them for years.

Ohio Basement Authority did phenomenal work. Our inspector, David D was incredibly professional and obviously passionate about what he does. From start to finish he meticulously explained what was going on and how to fix it, all while easing concerns and answering any questions that we had. Our installation crew, Iran H, Chris H, and Zach K were awesome. They were professional, courteous, and weren’t invasive or disruptive in the slightest. I especially want to point out that these guys came out and worked in about a foot of snow and below freezing temperatures on both of the days that they were out. You’re not going to get that from the competition. If you want a sump pump system with proper drainage installed, and you want it installed right, OBA is the way to go.

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.
