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.

Keevan B., Jarrell and Hunter were great. They waterproofed most of my basement in only one day. They did not make a huge mess of my basement, and they were careful with my home. They had to come back one additional time at my request, because I wasn’t happy with the discharge placement outside and the float level on the sump. They came within a day, and with great attitudes I should add! A few days later I noticed water in one corner so they came back out a second time and luckily it was just a loose fitting above from the discharge pipe, and not the waterproofing system in the floor. Now, things seem ok! Fingers crossed. Big rains last night, and I finally, finally, finally had a dry basement! Thanks guys!!!

Very happy with my experience working with Ohio basement authority on addressing my homes foundation and water issues. Chase did a great job of assessing the issues and giving me options without making me feel like I was being sold something. When it came time to do the work Iran H, Chris M, and Ricky G did an awesome job. They were very professional throughout the process. I appreciated that they outlined and reviewed their work with me. I will definitely be contacting OBA if I have any issues in the future. Highly recommended!

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.
