Our project was pretty large and Logan took a lot of time being as thoughtful and careful as possible in the evaluation and quoting process. The floors in our 2300 sqft home were like walking through a funhouse. The house was musty from the moisture coming up from the capsules. He made sure we knew what was going to be done and why. Interior floor jacking and crawl space encapsulation. As for the crew that did the work, Austin, Billy, and Dakota got the job done on budget and on time. Austin provided great communication and worked with my handyman throughout the process for getting access to inaccessible spaces. Great work and looking forward to the one year follow up when they will evaluate the job to make sure everything is working as it should.

The people with Innovative Basement Authority have been a pleasure to deal with, starting with Jan and his assessment and thorough explanation of our options. Then came Brandon and his crew of James and Joel. They worked diligently and completed the stabilization of our basement in a timely manner and did a thorough job cleaning up. My only issue is that they forgot to plug my freezers back in after they got what they needed to in place. Thankfully, that was one of the last areas they did, so nothing was lost as I caught it right away.

Dave Anderson came to perform a technical check up on the sump pump I’d had installed a few years ago. While doing so, he observed my basement had very high humidity, leaving it musty and prone to mold — he had a solution ready, and within the next few hours had me set up with a powerful dehumidification system which has since left my basement comfortably dry and the cleanest it has been since I bought the house several years ago! Thoroughly grateful for his service — he has been nothing but professional, friendly, transparent about pricing, accommodating, and genuinely interested in finding a workable solution to my situation. I’ve worked several times with many people from this company on my basement and foundation issues, and their customer service has always been professionally reliable and helpful; I would happily go back to Groundworks every time for all my future needs.

I had IBA install a mix of Intellijacks and carbon strips in on one of my basement walls. Dylan really hung in there on the prior project and came up with a workable solution for me — I felt he went far out of his way and demonstrated care that is rare.. During the yearly follow up for that work (which is holding up), it was identified that some Intellijacks for foundation beams would help solidify my house (the beams were wood and not large enough, so the house was shifting). Ricky did a great job explaining the situation and my options. He also spoke at length with me and took time to help me understand when I had questions and got confused. Jeremiah T and Mark F. did the work and were excellent. It was invasive work, but they were pleasant to be around, communicated clearly, were fast, and kept the mess to a minimum and cleaned up afterward. No one wants to have this sort of work be necessary — IBA was recommended by a construction friend and I agree they are a good choice if you do need this sort of work. Professional, thorough, and guarantees included with their products and work.

I recently had Ground Work’s complete basement, waterproofing services in my home, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the team was absolutely outstanding. Gunner, Jose, Ezra, and Nick were extremely knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process so I felt confident in the work being done. They were respectful of my home, kept the workspace clean, and were always friendly and professional. It’s clear they take pride in what they do. What impressed me the most was how detail oriented they were. They made sure everything was done correctly and didn’t cut any corners. Basement waterproofing is such an important investment, and having a team that truly cares about doing the job right gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Ground Work, and especially gunner, Jose, Ezra, and Nick for the hard work, professionalism, and dedication to quality. Marge and Rick Salak

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.
