Well. We also discussed dehumidifier which had been running in our basement non-stop for 20 years before having the sump pump installed! This took care of our water problems in a basement which had slowly become an area of our house that became used less and less. We planned on installing a new dehumidifier but after talking with our service man, we elected to proceed with his SaniDry system which also provided an air purifier as well. He was quite knowledgeable and patient with our seemingly endless questions, and provided answers that the average person could understand. He then installed the dehumidifier right then! The sump pump has been one of the best things we didi for our recent home remodel! They were prompt, neat, careful of surrounding rooms, and didi what they said they would do- nothing more and nothing less. They were quick in their work. They cleaned up after each day's work, which kept most of the dirt from being dragged up into the main kitchen area of our home. They were polite. Professional. Part of my willingness in purchasing the rather expensive dehumidifier was because of the fine service they provided with the original installation of the sump system. I would recommend them to anyone! They added a tremendous value to our home, and for that we are appreciative.
Description of Work: Basic inspection of new sump pump system installed one year earlier.

We had water in our basement. They came out promptly on a Sunday to check our sump, which they had previously installed. Serviced the sump on that day, and determined that our downspout lines to the street were clogged. Quoted a 2 week timeframe, and they delivered within that time. Very professional and cleaned up well. They did a great job. Completed in 1 day, and now the sump runs notably less often.

FANTASTIC! I met with an inspector (Brendan Kent) and he LISTENED to what I wanted instead of trying to sell me a 'complete basement solution.' I appreciated the fact that he gave me advise and options on the best solution for my budget. Scheduling the work was a breeze and I had a call from Sarah a week before the work to confirm my scheduled appointment. Jose Tellez and the rest of his 4 man crew arrived promptly on my scheduled repair date and were professional, courteous, and got right to work. They completed my repair, debris removal, and clean up within 4 hours of arriving at my house. I thought this would take at least 2 days and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly they completed the work.

It was fine. I didn't pay more than the deal. I would probably not use them again. The rep who came out was a really great guy but overall I think it was expensive.

From the quote to the completion of the project, we had a good experience with this company. They were professional, showed up on time, and did good work. Our basement has been dry ever since and we are very happy. Where Ohio Basement Authority really shined was in their customer service after the fact. We had several issues that arose months after they completed the work. Our retaining wall next to the drain pipe was crumbling and my neighbor told me it happened when the guys dug the trench. Even though they had been paid in full, they came back out and rebuilt the wall free of charge. I would use this company again and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

Was on time and work was finished in 1 day. Cleaned up when finished. Basement looks a lot nicer we had steel beams taken out so they are not against the wall which makes the basement look a lot more finished. We found the employees to be professional, courteous and had the knowledge needed to do the work.
Description of Work: Put in a wall anchor system which we felt was the best decision for our basement. The wall anchor system was explained on how to tighten when needed. We were happy with the warranty and it could be transferred to a new owner if needed.

Ohio Basement Authority was very professional from beginning to end. We had just purchased a home on some acreage that did not have city storm sewer and drainage on the property and is situated in a low lying area. We were planning to finish the basement and invest in that area of the house for our family. With that in mind, we had Travis come out for an assessment and recommendations. Travis spent all the time necessary and helped us understand what was needed for our situation. We ended up with the Water Guard and Smart Wall product as well as a new sump pump. John and the install team came out right on schedule and provided very professional and expert service. We highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority and specifically Travis and John to anyone who needs basement work!

There was a delay with the job due to the amount of rain but once the job was performed, I was thoroughly pleased. This company gave me the best estimate using quality materials. I liked that they were willing to do my small job and not pressure me into an expensive basement system ans sump pump.

I recently bought a home and the home inspector recommended several modifications to improve drainage. I emailed several companies, but Ohio Basement Authority was the only one who responded. They scheduled an appointment very quickly and Ramel came out and did a thorough inspection of the basement, cubby hole, and exterior drainage. He discovered that because of the way the sump pump was hooked up (a flexible pipe leading to the outside) water was not actually draining from the house, but sitting in the pipe. He also recommended installation of a drain in the cubby hole to direct water into the sump pit. Jose Tellez and his crew came out two weeks later and completed the work in one day. They helped disassemble a set of built in shelves and stairs in the cubby hole, took precautions to keep my floors clean, and completed the work far more quickly than I was expecting. My old sump pump was sitting in an open sump pit; the new pump is in an enclosed container and the pit was filled in with rocks and covered with concrete. It looks much better and there is no more smell of stagnant water. After the work was done, the crew put the stairs back and cleaned up. I intend to use Ohio Basement Authority for any future basement work and for some exterior concrete lifting in the fall.

Everyone in this company is top notch. From getting someone scheduled to have our initial meeting all the way to a follow up call at the completion of the project. Steve came out promptly to assess the situation and the job that would be required. He was professional, friendly, and explained everything thoroughly. The company honored their winter promotion to give us more savings on the project. There is a financing option for anyone that may need that. The project was scheduled in less than 30 days and it was completed in 2.5 days. Drew was the Lead / Foreman for when our project got started. Drew and the entire crew were also professional, friendly, and would take the time to answer any questions you may have. The work is also guaranteed with a lifetime warranty. Highly recommend this company if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
Description of Work: Placed push piers along the back wall of our house. Our house is on a ravine and it started to settle. Luckily it had only moved 1/4 of an inch on one side.

The crumbling basement wall needing repair is beneath a large 2 story porch. What i thought would be a complicated project was made very easy by this crew. I was very impressed with the speed and quality of the work performed. The job was finished in just a week as estimated. There were no delays and no problems, and the final result exceeded expectations. The crew were all very friendly and very knowlegable, and very willing to answer questions.

Micah and ? were here together working on the project. One sealed the well while the other was in the attic installing the fan. All in all, it took about 2 hours. They were both polite and professional. They completed their work quickly. Best of all, when they left, we couldn't tell they had been here - they cleaned up well. We are currently testing to ensure the fan and well lid are doing their job.

The entire experience from the sales (Brian Thom) to the crew (Rambo & Crew) that did the work was fantastic. The installation of the new well in our basement by the crew was painless and very professional. They not only arrived on time (a little early actually -- having called ahead to let me know), but worked efficiently, quietly and finished sooner than I had expected. They protected all of the flooring leading to the basement and cleaned up afterwards that we never would have known that they had just jack hammered a hole in our basement floor. They also kept me informed throughout the process. Highly recommended!

Very well. I received an approximate time of arrival. Zach and his men introduced themselves and went right to work. They prepped the room and covered my things from the dust . The work was done quickly and showed me step by step the progress. Zach answered all of my questions. I was very happy with the results and can sleep soundly at night now. I would gladly recommend the company.

We were so pleased! From the sales visit with John Becker, to the installation with Aaron Ison, this outfit is extremely professional and knowledgable. Aaron explained his process in great detail, had great recommendations, knew how to install a dedicated electric outlet that was needed for the new sump pump, and completed the job as promised within one day. Old concrete jack hammered, new drain tile installed, old pump removed, new pump installed with proper electric, City of UA inspector approved, new concrete laid, cleanup. Job started at 8:30 a.m. and completely done by 3:30 p.m. Such a relief to have this job done the right way the first time with complete satisfaction! Thank you Aaron Ison!!
