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.

Richard B, Donte B and Javaun W completed the job in 3 days. Lots of work, but they did it in a timely fashion. Richard was very informative about the process and checked in and out each day between my husband and I. I would recommend this crew to do any basement repairs. We inspected the entire basement and everything is exactly up to what the contract advised.

From our meeting with Bob Hayes for diagnosis of our foundation leak â thorough, well-explained â to the crew of Caleb, Devonte and Dylan, the project couldnâ t have gone smoother. Workers were on time, explained everything they would do, called ahead when coming to the house, and exceeded expectations. The crew could not have been more professional and ancillary work performed by the electrician was well-coordinated.

Very friendly when I called in. Scheduled fee estimate although I wasn’t sure they did what I needed. Even Eakle showed up at scheduled time. Immediately realized I didn’t currently need their services. I showed him what my problem was, and he actually with the use of one little tool fixed my problem perfectly on all five window wells. He was such a friendly guy great customer service. I would highly highly recommend using them if you would ever need waterproofing cement, leveling, or any other other other services I would definitely give them a call. I believe he is out of the Kent office. I’m not sure he did have a 216 area code exchange, he did a fabulous job if I ever need any waterproofing or here of anybody that needs it I would definitely tell him to call these people

Richard, Deonte, and Javaun did an amazing job. They stayed late, and worked really hard every minute they were here. They constantly communicated what they were doing and proceeded with care as if it was their own home. We are extremely satisfied with their work. Great group of guys and would recommend them to anyone!!!!! Our garage could have collapsed at any minute and they were so careful to make sure they and my family were both safe.

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!

We have had a fantastic experience with this company. They have taken care of all of our our water removal needs and offered fantastic advise. They serviced our sump pump after and fixed it for free after the warranty had expired. Matt was very professional and helpful. Will continue to use this company.

I hired Ohio Basement Authority to encapsulate my crawlspace in late July, and bury two of my downspouts on my house. They did everything exactly how my salesperson, Matt, indicated, including coming on the day work was scheduled to be completed and notifying me when they were on their way. Their finished work exceeded my expectations, and all musty odors have disappeared. We even had a heavy rain storm about one week after the work was complete, and my crawlspace stayed completely dry. I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority to anyone looking to have their crawlspace professionally encapsulated.

Structural Repair Specialists in Cleveland

Situated along the southern shore of Lake Erie, northeast Ohio cities like Cleveland, Euclid, Lorain, Parma, and nearby experience cold and snowy winters, wet springtime months, and humid and rainy summers. Often hit with lake effect snow, Cleveland and the rest of northeast Ohio will then have saturated soil from springtime snowmelt before transitioning into wet and humid summer months. It doesn’t help that a lot of the area’s soil is heavy with clay that easily soaks up water and expands.

This expanding soil wreaks havoc on your foundation by exerting a lot of pressure on it. This results in wall cracks and bowing, as well as leaking water, which can lead to other issues such as mold growth, wood rot, and basement or crawl space flooding. Many Cleveland homeowners like you have had to deal with these foundation damages and water management issues, but you don’t have to live with these unsafe conditions. Permanent basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space repair and encapsulation, and concrete lifting solutions are available from the seasoned pros at Ohio Basement Authority. We understand the issues homes in the area face, and we can help you protect your home with fully customizable solutions.
