Great company, great team. From bid process with Brian to execution with Mark and Brandon everyone did exactly what they promised when they promised. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result. My patio no longer drains to the foundation but away as it should even in the heaviest rain. Would use these guys again in a heartbeat! Thanks!

Ben and Andrew were out today and did a great job re-leveling my front stoop, along with supporting my apron and caulking, cracks and gaps. Both of these guys were excellent at communicating, and explaining in the end result speaks for itself. ****update**** Ben and Andrew came back to adjust the walk way as it was sagging a bit, they came out and took care of it and I am satisfied, and Steven was easy to schedule. Great company and ease of scheduling along standing behind the product

History

Recognizing a need in the industry, Innovative Basement Authority was started by the father-son team Ross and Kevin Johnson in 2005. Because of their commitment to quality work and excellent customer service, the firm quickly expanded to three offices in Fargo, ND and Minneapolis and Rush City, MN. 

Offering basement waterproofing, foundation, and crawl space repair, Innovative Basement Authority is proud to serve homeowners throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, and Eastern Montana. 

Groundworks acquired this strong brand in November 2019. Since the merge, Innovative Basement System has a new freedom. This, coupled with the best training and products, has allowed Innovative Basement Authority to thrive for its more than 100 employees.
