I had always heard good things about Rogers Basement Waterproofing so they were my first call when…read moreI needed some work done. I'm happy for those here who got to deal with the owner. Unfortunately, I did not. I spoke on the phone with someone named Mike in April about a couple of different issues I had with my basement. He said they were too busy at the time to come out and look at it and that what they usually do is install a sump pump. I told him I wasn't sure that was what I needed without checking a couple other things first, but he said again they were too busy for anyone to come out, that I likely needed a sump pump system installed, and that it could run from a few to several thousand dollars. That's fine, I imagine they are swamped in the spring and I have an idea what those systems cost if, in fact, that's what I needed. No problem. Fast forward to August. I called back to see if someone could come out to look at my situation. Left a message with Nicole and I got a call back from Mike (maybe the same Mike, maybe not...I believe he said "Stearns") and we set an appointment for a few days later. Well, he never showed up, never called, nothing. Rogers may be the absolute best in town, but I'll never know it. I feel like I was blown off twice. I'm sure if they see this they'll be very apologetic on here and tell everyone that's not how they do business, but it was exactly how they did it with me. Maybe you'll be luckier and get the owner.

Rogers Basement Waterproofing installed a sump pump a few weeks ago in a section of our basement…read morewhere we've been having water issues. This was our first sump pump, so they had to do everything, not just the pump(put the ditch around the basement, lay inside drain line,cover it back up, dig ditch to street, lay the drain from the basement out to the street, cover it up). They were very considerate of our house, covering the floor path to the work area and placing plastic over the doorways from the section of the basement they were working in. The concrete work covering the ditch up after the inside drain was installed was very neat. Great job! Highly recommended!

I'm an engineer by trade and cant help apply those skills to every project I start…read more I thoroughly appreciated working with Tyler through every step. He was articulate explaining the displacement, likely root causes, prevention and mitigation steps, repair options, and the pros/cons of each approach. During the walkthrough he discussed the areas of concerns and created a visual diagram of the forces interacting on the basement walls, how its displacing the wall, and how it will be repaired. The quote contained all these areas with the total cost of repair + the project plan to resolve it. How many straps, their locations, mortar joints that will be replaced, and a 5 foot section of basement slab that needed removed to clear out the flush ports underneath and replace with new concrete. What I appreciated the most was Tyler's engineering approach. Root cause, resolution, and cost. He identified a couple areas not pointed out by other contractors that required addressing and his quote was still in line despite the additional work. And I never got the impression he tried to create work for a higher invoice. I 100% would hire Tyler and Basement Remedy if I ever purchase another house with basement issues again.

My family just moved into our new house in Grandview Heights and were getting some work done in the…read morebasement (new paint, new flooring, etc.). The painters noticed some mold and water damage near a few of the walls. I called Ohio Basement Authority and Jordan came out the next day. Having a finished basement makes figuring out if there is water coming in tough, but he walked me through the possibilities, and how we could remedy each one. Not being used to having a basement (I historically lived in *much* drier climates!), I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and attention to detail that he showed in walking me through the different situations. I decided to go with the interior waterproofing. I was scheduled to have my new flooring installed a day later, so the speediness that Jordan came out literally saved me thousands of dollars (and the time of having another floor installed!). Thanks OBA!

Every time I see Mike Rowe on TV promoting Ohio Basement Authority, I cringe, here's why…read more I hired Ohio Basement Authority to put in a French drain system around the perimeter of the interior walls of the basement, it was supposed to take 1 crew 1 day. It took 3 crews and 5 days. On day 1 they jackhammered the perimeter and laid half the drain tile and left at 2:00 for a family emergency. I checked the progress and found that the weep holes that were supposed to be drilled on every block had not been drilled at all. Day 2, no show. Day 3 crew 2 (different people), they removed the previous laid tile to drill the weep holes Day 4, no show Day 5, crew 3 (different people) they finished the job The worst part of it all is that the plastic barrier hung to keep the cement dust from an adjacent room had fallen, and they did not bother to put it back up. The entire room and all It contained were covered with a thick coat of cement dust. Everything must be wiped off, and all the shelving must be taken outside and hosed off costing thousands of dollars. After hiring a 3rd party to clean up the mess, the reimbursement was slow and was only a fraction of the estimate.

I rarely give five star reviews because I rarely have good experiences with service workers - let alone great experiences. However, JB Foundations earned all 5 stars. And honestly, it's not that hard - just very few companies will do the basic things that make customers happy. It started recently with a couple days of hard rain. We live in an elevated area where our driveway slopes up and our house and foundation is higher than the street. As a result, we have never had any issues with water in the basement and rarely give it a thought. The only problem we had was the pipe leading up and out of the basement had a loose connection and I was able to tightened it up. But with this most recent rain, the sump pump started acting differently. It was still seemingly working but making an incredible noise. I had just had new flooring put in on the first floor (I'll be writing that review next) and noise carries much more within the house. At first I chalked the louder sump pump up to that. But the more I had to listen to it while working from home, I realized something was wrong. The second day, I started putting feelers out. Messaging 3 companies on their websites asking if they did this work on sump pumps and in our area. NONE RESPONDED. I hate using the phone so electronic communication is my preference. THe next morning, the pump was quieter but ran non-stop for hours - despite there not being hardly any water in the tank and it also had not really rained for a while. This time I turned to Yelp (which is where I got the names and reviews of the 3 companies I reached out to via their websites). I picked one and sent a message just like I did before. I also took the option to ask a couple more companies to respond. Almost immediately, JB Foundations responded and expressed ability and interest in doing the work. We exchanged messages via Yelp and soon I had an appointment, as well as an estimate should the pump need replacing. The appointment window was only 2 hours and they were able to come the next day. Considering we had yet to take any water in the basement, I was feeling very lucky (which is rare). Jay showed up during the 2 hour window and went to work. He showed me how the pump can be tested by bypassing the floater. The pump was still working and apparently able to push water to the street. Regardless, given the 26 years it had been working - I opted to have it replaced. Jay had a new pump with him and installed it in maybe 15 minutes. He asked for a garbage bag to carry the old pump out in as it was crusted in rust and mud. He had also pulled out a few other misc. items (paper, soda can, rocks) from the hole and transported it all way without messing up the floor. Jay educated me about the back-flow valve/connector - which was apparently what had come apart before. He had replaced it at no extra charge. I always appreciate a service person taking the time to explain things to me so I better understand how the things in our house work. Jay did so without making me feel spoken down to or stupid. I don't know what else I can share if you're not convinced yet to include this company in your search when needing any work done in your basement/foundation. I highly recommend giving them a shot.

He explained well how the process would unfold and was proactive about being open to any questions. They arrived the originally scheduled day and although there was a delay due to some pretty extreme weather causing traffic idiocy, I was notified about that delay. They worked hard until the job was complete. Every indication so far is that the job - a crawlspace drainage/sump - was successful, considering there has been another very hard rain since and no more basement leakage.
