After I consulted with another popular foundation repair company in town, I wanted to get another opinion. I then had Jan from Innovative Basement Authority came over. He looked around the house outside and inside for issues. He used a laser to measure my house for sedimentation. He observed to cracks and listened to my concerns. He took his time and spent an hour checking. When he was finished he gave me the best news! He cannot offer me a solution since he doesn’t think my problem is the settling. He said just basically to fix the minor cosmetic issues that comes with the age of the house and observe. Thank you for your honesty and expertise. The world needs more people like you! I am so glad I don’t need to tear up my house unnecessary!

I want to thank you for your service to our basement since we got flooded in June. Casey came explained everything to us. He made it easy to understand. We scheduled to have it done. Leonard and Anthony were sent and 2 days later they were done after working about 10 hours per day. They were so professional and answered all our questions. They were great. Can’t say enough about them. Thank you again so much. Janice B Rosebro

Went with this local waterproofing service after a friend recomended them, and I have to say it worked out pretty well. The crew showed up on time and walked me thru what they were doing, which helped me feel more relaxed about the whole thing. Basement used to get a little damp after heavy rain, but since they finished the job it’s been dry and doesn’t have that musty smell anymore. Price felt fair for the work, and everyone was friendly enough. Not overly fancy, just solid work, I’d definately use them again if I needed it.

We called Innovative Basement Authority to come and give us a quote for repairing some concerns we were having with our foundation. Jan Kottke came to our home and conducted a very thorough inspection of our foundation. He explained to us that the areas that we had concerns over were not a significant threat to the integrity of our home and that we did not need any repairs at this time. Jan then took the time to educate me as to what I should watch for to maintain our foundation and know when to call them back should the need arise. I highly recommend this company to anyone who has issues with their home or even concerned about possible issues they may have. They will address your issues and give you honest answers.

Structural Repair Expertise in Grand Forks

Situated on the northwest border of North Dakota and Minnesota, cities like Grand Forks, Thief River Falls, Devils Lake, and Pembina where snowy and bitter cold winters are common can lead to spring flooding from snowmelt. 

Flooded basements and bowing foundation walls are common throughout the Red River Valley. Because of the harsh outdoor elements, Grand Forks homeowners are no stranger to leaking basement walls, foundation settlement, and nasty crawl spaces.  

Because of the generous amounts of snow Grand Forks can get during the winter months, flooding is always likely during spring. But the soil around your home can be working against you too. Homeowners in this area are generally dealing with Bearden silty clay loam, which has poor drainage properties. Add melting snow to the mix, and you’re in for excess and pooling water around your home.

Have you noticed high basement humidity, musty odors, leaking walls, or bowing walls? Many homeowners just like you have experienced those signs of water intrusion and foundation damage, and we at Innovative Basement Authority are here to help restore your home and bring back your peace of mind.
