Last week I asked Ohio Basement Authority to come out to investigate why my floor was so cold and why cold air was coming in from the bottom of the fireplace. Dylan came out as promised and did an extremely thorough investigation. I was surprised and impressed with how interested and determined he was to figure out the issue. He looked outside, inside, and spent lots of time in the crawlspace. He found places in the crawlspace that were of particular concern and explained what would be the best solutions. He showed pictures and took his time explaining his reasoning. Then he was very willing to explain it again to my son and a friend so they could help me decide. No pressure, professional demeanor. I can tell he loves what he is doing and takes pride in doing it honestly and with excellence. Dylan has made me feel confident having the work done by Ohio Basement Authority.

I had my basement waterproofed with OBA and they did a fantastic job! It's been about 3 years and the basement is still bone dry. Caleb T came out for my annual maintenance checkup and was excellent. Everyone is professional, courteous, and does a good job.

Our Inspector, Chelsa, came to our Dayton home the other day to check on some suspected foundation settling. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, confidence and the way she went about the inspection. She walked the entire house with me, asking questions, making sure she had the layout and all adjacencies correct. After the walk-through, she set up her equipment and showed me specifically where the major problem was located and explained how it would be corrected. When she delivered her full report, it was done very professionally. When I asked her about her company and how she felt about working for them, she replied that she was proud to work for OBA and that she had a great crew working in Dayton. Chelsa also mentioned their parent company Groundworks, and the fact that they are employee owned. (Full disclosure: I'm a big Mike Rowe fan, and heard the Groundworks CEO on his podcast recently). All in all, a very, very good experience.

I had Jacob come out for an inspection after I purchased this property. He was friendly easy-going and just the type of sales person that I needed for this only negative side to all this is I wish that the 10% was a little pushed out further versus the same day, I think that’s kind of the downside of everything. However, his approach to fixing the situation measuring the walls figuring out everything was gonna flow through was great. I had zero issues directly with him. He was awesome great sales understanding and wasnt pushing things down my throat and somebody like me coming from sales. I don’t like the pushy sales man cause I was that.he didn’t really have an issue building great Rapport with me at all. And he was very truthful. He explained things very simply and easily although I did my resrarch to find out what my issues were so i had an idea of how things would go today, and was able to have a better idea/ plan for myself; he explained this is what we need to get done this is how our company does it. This is how we’re gonna do it. Also, I think what helped is he understood the scope of the work being a former foreman himself. I appreciate him coming out and this guy needs a raise or some more commission great dude great attitude, and great integrity, even better not a pushy sales man. Thank you jacob and thank you for being a man of integerity and honesty i appreciate it very, very much.

We had Ohio Basement Authority install a system in our basement 5 years ago. Today was our last inspection before we re-sign for an additional 5 years inspection package. The technician Mike Davies was courteous, clean, knowledgeable and on time. I appreciate the job he performed in checking our system and continue to be impressed with the quality employees at Ohio Basement Authority. I would recommend them to anyone!
