I found a hole in my basement floor and signed up to get an inspection at 8:49pm and received a call less than a minute later to get scheduled for the next morning. Jacob Letner and his partner were amazing. They were so thorough. They did a full inspection, walked us through what their tools told them and all of our options. Top notch company and crew. They were so amazing that we scheduled on the spot. They put our mind at ease for a scary situation and are really grateful.

My experience with Adam Apinis was positive, he did a thorough inspection and explained what they world do for the price which I considered fair. He prepared me for the decision I will have to make about moving and is giving me enough time to make that decision after I look at what I will buy if I move.

Richard, Donte, Javaun were fantastic! Great communicators, respectful, honest, hard workers. It’s gotta be tough work in a crawl space and these guys never complained, just kept grinding it out. I’d highly recommend this company and their A team.

Brian C (field engineer) and Steve (install crew leader) are phenomenal. We hired a previous company to do the install, it was botched, and these two saved the day. True professionals and thoroughly impressed with their follow through. Even after the install, they've continued to support the product on questions after the fact. Highly recommend these two for any basement project

Ohio Basement Systems Certified Field Inspector Jacob Letner was very informative about the company and the work to be done having our garage leveled. Jacob Letner's was on time and very precise and honest! He showed us work that we thought had to be done and through the proof of the instruments he used was proof that we did not need basement work. Thank you Jacob Letner!

Kevin Sweeney came out to give us an estimate. He explained the process and answered my questions. Milan, Curtis, Tristan and Joe all worked very hard the whole day. They explained everything they would be doing. I had a minor adjustment that needed taking care of after the project was done. Greg came to the house and resolved it for me. He was very helpful. Thanks so much for all of the hard work. Kim Brandt

Great job during our basement waterproofing by Ohio Basement Authority. Super efficient and good communication by Richard and his crew: Donte, Javaun and Dijon. Very considerate of our property and did a good job cleaning up as well. Would recommend them anytime! Electrician John Carlson got us off to a good start too and Matt Carson for explaining everything well and good communication.

Exception customer service really does still exist!! Robert Fleming provided the best possible care we could hope for. He was on-time, thorough, professional, courteous & not a single bit pushy. We honestly will be booking all because of him! He represents the company well & made us feel as if we were in the best hands for our project! Sometimes living in a rural location, and using a large, established company that is not local – it can cause some concern. He explained exactly what our foundation needed/cost/procedure in detail. It was a pleasure having Robert to our home. I highly recommend!!!

History

Co-founders Mike and Gayle Rusk knew from experience there was a right and wrong way to make home improvements. In 1999 they started Ohio Basement Systems and literally built it from the ground up, starting with the basement. They knew that customer service and sales integrity needed to be core factors for the company to succeed.

And succeed it did! Growing from a small business to employing more than 100 people. Every day, each team member strives to deliver exceptional customer service with every customer interaction. Based outside of Cleveland, Ohio Basement Systems is proud to serve homeowners throughout Northern Ohio including Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Sandusky, Bowling Green, and nearby.

In September of 2019, Ohio Basement Systems was excited to join Groundworks. The joining allows Ohio Basement Systems access to cutting-edge products to better serve the homeowners of Ohio.
