Our Services

Foundation Repair
Do you know how well your home is standing up to the test of time? Is it strong and sturdy or does it feel like it’s on shaky ground? Whether you interpret this figuratively or literally, it’s so important for your home to have a strong foundation.

Crawl Space Repair & Encapsulation
Normally these areas are empty, but you never know what creepy conditions you’ll find there – mold, pest infestation, wet insulation, and much more.

Basement Waterproofing
Water is essential, but other than coming out of faucets for specific needs, you do not want water in your house. This powerful element and force of nature can wreak havoc on your home.

Jeff came out to consult about my driveway. He walked me through their process and types of materials the company uses. Overall, great learning experience and price! I flip homes and to learn this company offers warranty transfers to new owners is amazing! Very happy with the visit I had today and look forward to the scheduled work.

I've worked with Innovative Basement Authority for multiple projects. Most recently, they added Helical Piers to reinforce a sagging garage foundation. Jeremiah T. and Dion R. completed the project in one day. They were very communicative during the project, addressed all of my concerns, and performed quality work. It was a smooth process from start to finish. Thanks.

Grant.C. and Mark.F. did an amazing job fixing my driveway. Looking at the cracks I had no idea how they were going to make it flat again, but after Mark laid out the perfect grid Grant started filling it was a true artist at work. I would highly recommend.

Well, this is the second time I’ve had groundwork’s come do a project, the first time, they waterproofed part of my basement, this time they finished it. I will let the past be the past, there is no sense in bringing up old dirt but I will tell you I was very skeptical about calling them again. I almost went with a whole new company to come in and just see what they could do so I didn’t have to deal with them again. This time around was so easy and so quick, the crew that came out was very knowledgeable and so kind. When John my sales tech came out, I think he was here for around 4 hours! While I drilled him with questions, he was very patient and understanding of my concerns. I am very happy with the way it turned out and I would recommend groundwork’s to anyone looking to waterproof their basement!

I would highly recommend Innovative Basement Authority. They did an excellent job encapsulating a crawl space in my home. First, my estimate appointment with Chris was thorough and smooth. Chris answered all of my questions and explained everything his team would do during install. Then, Marcus, Logan and Goody did a wonderful job with install. They were on time and efficient, friendly and very respectful of my home. I would definitely work with them again!

Dustin Gaudette did a great job of explaining the condition of the foundation, the problem, and the proposed solution. There was no high pressure sales pitch to sign the proposal right away. He gave us options and time to talk it over. Dustin has a construction background and it shows in the way he looks at a house.

LJ, Anthony, Kevin and Mike were amazing,! We didn't realize how poorly the basement had been left behind the plywood walls until this crew came to get it sorted. They weren't phased by anything, that level of confidence in a crew was so reassuring for us during this project. The work was done quickly and so thoroughly!

David Anderson came out to do the first warranty inspection service call. He explained thoroughly what he was doing and why which I appreciated. He also pointed out another area that could use some attention and gave me a quote with no pressure. The company has been great to work with from beginning to end.

Dion, Jaden & Nick Schmid did an excellent job on our basement. They encountered some challenges and solved them professionally …. not all jobs are easy, solving problems is where the skill shows through… Jaden and his crew shone, moved ahead & left a totally swept clean jobsite. Impressive to see.

I had some bowing and cracking in my cinder block basement wall and Groundworks mitigated the issue by adding vertical bracing to the affected wall. I also had water leaking in which was caused mold issues so they also installed a new drainage system in the basement and sealed the walls to prevent water coming in. This treatment provided stability to prevent further movement. The braces were also adjustable to allow for further corrections which were included in the original work. Today, Michael Bowers came out to provide that follow up annual inspection and maintenance. He thoroughly tested the new drainage system they installed and took measurements to baseline whether the walls were stable. Michael explained everything to me and noted some other areas we should keep an eye on without trying to upsell me which I appreciated. He was friendly and thorough. I would recommend using Groundworks and give Michael a high review rating.
