While we didn't end up using Ohio Basement Authority for the majority of our waterproofing needs, Norbert was professional and did install a new sump pump on the spot during our estimate. We appreciated the time he spent in our home and all the detailed information he provided.

I had leaks all across my basement, so I called Ohio Basement Authority since I saw them working on a neighbors property. Jared Brown, my project manager, inspected the problems and got a plan in motion within days of calling. He helped me with any questions I had (even after completion) and kept the project goals reasonable. Once construction started (busy season, month delay) they were done within a few days. Job was done quickly and professionally with the mess very well contained. I definitely recommend them if you’re having foundation issues like I was!

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.

Nate, Tay, Mike and Cameron performed their duties in an excellent manner. All were very knowledgeable in their assignments. They completed the job in 2 days versus 3 days as scheduled by the salesman. They insured that the house remained as clean as they first saw it, plus insured our cellar was all picked up and ready for restocking of bins after 48 hrs. They found out that a piece of equipment that was previously ordered was not required thusly reducing my total bill considerably. Will recommend the company to anyone requiring their basement, cellar or crawl space to be repaired.

Dave, Jonathan and Eric were very respectful of our home and did a fantastic job with our foundation repair. They communicated when each step was done at the end of the day and what to expect the next time they would be here. They were here every day they said they would be and did not keep us waiting. The bricks look amazing and they sealed everything nicely. Thanks again!

When my basement flooded, OBA was there within an hour. Chris Masselli, the tech, jumped right in to figure out what was going on. Without my even asking, they replaced my sump pumps (and added one more) and dehumidifier which had been ruined, under my warranty. As we tried to figure out what was causing the intrusion, Chris came out at least half a dozen times with just a phone call, including being at my house until after 11 one night. Tracen and his crew, Ciande and Ali, rearranged their work schedule to make sure needed work was done before the rain came. I have an old house, so they had to do a lot of problem-solving to find a solution for us. They were professional, friendly, and did excellent work. Kaleb called to help me with another related problem, found us an answer, and then followed up to make sure everything worked out. They stayed in touch with me every single day for two weeks until everything was good. They even provided an extended maintenance contract to ensure that any possible problems in the future would be addressed. If I had to use one word to describe this company, it would be integrity. Every single interaction was professional. They went above and beyond in every way and made sure I had the outcome I needed. Finding quality companies to do work in our home has been a struggle, but this is what high quality looks like. If every company did business like this, it would be so much better. Highly, highly recommend.

Foundation Specialists in Columbus, OH
It’s normal for central Ohio homes in areas like Columbus, Dublin, Grove City, and Westerville to succumb to effects like cracking and bowing walls, leaking basement or crawl space, high humidity, and mold growth. All these issues can be brought on by the area’s climate and soil working against your home, its structural integrity, and its health. Areas in and around Columbus are prone to moisture problems due to a large number of rainy days throughout the year. While Ohio has a good mix of silt, clay, and sand in its soils, the state soil is Miamian which has more silt. But Ohio also is rich in clay soil. If too much water is saturating the soil under and around your home, it’s going to expand and exert tremendous hydrostatic pressure on your foundation.
These issues are all too common for homeowners like you throughout Columbus and central Ohio, but you don’t have to live with these damaging conditions. Ohio Basement Authority’s team of experts has the permanent solutions you need to address your foundation, basement, crawl space, and concrete repair needs.
