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.

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.

The crew that came to remove and replace the existing drain tile (Gahven, Maverick, Carl, Steve, and Parker) and install new tile and a sump in our laundry room did an outstanding job. Gahven guided me through the demo process, responding to texts even after dinner time. He was incredibly helpful, confirming that I had completed everything correctly through a text and picture conversation at 10 p.m. the night before they arrived. Thanks to everyone at Innovative Basement who worked on waterproofing our basement!

Chad and Josh helped fix a foundation seepage issue in two spots in our basement. They also installed a new sump pump location. They did a great job on the project keeping any mess to a minimum and cleaning up after very well. Chad also did a great job walking me through the process at the start and with the final walkthrough answering any questions I had!

Gunnar O'Connell & his crew were incredibly professional – hardest working crew I've ever done business with. These repairs are very complicated and delicate to perform. Gunnar asked us important questions & answered every question we had. I would love for them to handle all my issues in my 60 year old house. Gunnar, to you & your team we thank you for competence politeness and hard work ! You made a big stressful repair seem like putting a band aid on.

Dave Anderson came to do my service today, and was excellent. Not only did he do a great job, he was great with our dogs. Ever since IBA out in our sump pump, we have had a dry basement. I love the routine inspection, because it gives me confidence for the coming spring.

Just had our yearly inspection of the work that was done several years back. Everything checked out great. We used to have water in the basement many times every year, but it has been completely dry since they installed the system. Dave Anderson checked it all out and seemed very knowledgeable about the issues that older homes like ours often have.

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.
