Jordan came out to check our basement due to nonstop water coming in from the drains. He cannot figure it out why so much water coming in. My husband lives in this house for over 30 years and nothing like this happens. This is the second time water episode issue in our basement. Jordan went outside and check until he pointed out the construction next to our house. He is a life saver because been dealing this water for 3 days. Only happened when this construction for water lines begins. And we didn’t know until this new company Basement Doctor came out.

Mark came out and took a look at our foundation. What we thought was a major foundation issue turned out not to be. He was completely up front and honest about it all. Can’t say enough good things about his honesty and ethics. Definitely would recommend them.

Highly recommend this company. They installed a new drainage system on one side of our house. I needed it done quickly because of problems we were having, and they came out on a Saturday. The foreman Daniel and his crew Tracen and Kyle were great – they kept in contact with me, even though I was overseas for work – communication was excellent.

I’ve worked with Michael Davies from Ohio Basement Authority (a Groundworks company) three times now, and he has been outstanding every single visit. This latest project finally gave me complete peace of mind—my basement is truly waterproofed and secure for the long haul. What stands out most is Michael’s genuine commitment to helping people rather than pushing upsells. In an industry where that can feel common, he takes the time to clearly explain exactly what’s wrong, breaks it down in simple terms anyone can understand, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable and informed. I highly recommend Michael and Ohio Basement Authority to anyone dealing with basement or foundation issues. He’s reliable, knowledgeable, and customer-focused—top-notch service!

We had an excellent experience with Ohio Basement Authority from start to finish. From the moment we called, their team was responsive, professional, and very helpful. They scheduled an appointment within just a couple of days, which was impressive. Joe Rhoads came out for the inspection, and he was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to clearly explain everything in detail. He made sure we understood the issues, the solutions, and never rushed the process. You can tell he truly knows his job and cares about helping the customer. Honestly, Joe was a big reason we felt confident moving forward with Ohio Basement Authority. His approach, honesty, and expertise made a huge difference. Highly recommend both Joe and the company if you’re looking for reliable and trustworthy basement work.

Great company. They are on top of everything. They do excellent work,in and out no issues. They stand by their warranties and their annual service is no joke. If you have a problem, or may have one soon They let you know and it's either taken care of that day or the servicer will actually write you up a quote on the spot for new work.

I had my concrete lifted recently by Ohio Basement Authority. I was very much impressed by the initial inspection and recommendations by Charles. And I was very impressed by the work of the two gentlemen who did the actual lifting. They managed to lift it significantly without cracking the concrete. James and Pedro were outstanding!

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!

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.
