Outstanding foundation and mold inspection for my refinance…read moreI needed a foundation and mold inspection for a house refinance after the appraiser flagged potential mold in the unfinished part of the basement. What he thought was mold turned out to be years of cobwebs and my black German shepherd's hair. The inspector was thorough, honest, and professional from start to finish. He promptly responded to my Yelp inquiry, took the time for a phone consultation beforehand, worked around my schedule, and arrived right on time. He did a careful inspection (we live here and I certainly don't want to live with mold), clearly explained what he found, and provided a well-written inspection letter I could submit to my lender. The price was fair and the whole experience was straightforward and professional. Highly recommend if you need a reliable, honest inspector who actually takes the time to do the job right.

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.

We called Buckeye Basement Solutions first and they promptly sent out a very knowledgeable rep. He did a careful inspection in the crawl space and took photos for us to see. He clearly explained why our floor was sinking and what corrective action would completely fix it and gave us a written estimate. Having hired a number of companies over the years for various services, we knew this was a quality company with high integrity. They knew exactly how to properly fix the problem, gave us a very competitive estimate, were very professional and had a spot upcoming on their schedule available. On construction day their crew, led by Mike Smith, was on time and had all equipment and materials needed. Our job was finished today and we couldn't be happier with every aspect. Any future services that we may need that they offer they have our business! They are great!

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!

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!…read more Ohio Basement Authority (Groundworks) severely damaged my garage and pool deck in just a few hours, then took three months to inspect the damage. I hired them to lift three garage slabs. Instead, they cracked two slabs into seven pieces, then stopped working because the concrete was "cracked beyond a level of safely lifting." Their crew created the damage, then used it as the reason they couldn't finish the job. My garage floor is still 2-3 inches lower than the surrounding slabs, making it unusable for parking and failing to meet the work promised in the contract. I spent over $11,000 for work on my garage and pool area. The result is a broken garage and multiple trip hazards they created themselves--the same hazards they use during sales presentations to justify additional work. Around my pool, one slab now sits higher than the surrounding deck, another remains lower and was left separated instead of being repositioned flush. My property is in worse condition than before they started. Management ignored my calls for three months. When they finally responded, the attitude was hostile, with statements like, "We're not responsible for our salesman's promises," and "We don't level." Once they're paid, don't expect responsive customer service. If something goes wrong, be prepared to spend months fighting just to get someone to acknowledge the problem. To make matters worse, I later learned that completely demolishing and replacing the sunken concrete would have cost about 40% less than the foam lifting system they sold me--and their foam is already showing signs of settlement. Buyer beware.

The total pool room area has 2500 square feet of concrete. That is a lot of concrete slab that has sunk, tilted and cracked in the 40 years since we built it new. We feared that we would have to have it broken up, removed and replaced at an enormous cost. We decided to call B-Level. The phone was answered very professionally and courteous. The company owner visited our house within a short time and also was very professional, courteous and really knew what he was talking about and what we needed to correct the problem. I usually get at least three quotes when spending on a project this big. The owner gave me a verbal estimate while here to be followed up with an exact written quote. We were very pleasantly surprised with the super economical cost to fix our concrete rather than replace it. When the written quote/contract arrived it matched what the owner told us verbally. The work was done and our concrete looks wonderful. The workmen were top notch. B-Level saved our concrete and a bundle of our cash for us to use in other areas. B-Level is now our "go-to" company for concrete slab problems.
