Albert Lea, MN
We are dedicated to informing Albert Lea, MN homeowners of the benefits of basement waterproofing and crawl space repair in providing a healthy home environment.
Schedule Your Free InspectionBasements can be fantastic offices, gyms, playrooms, fan caves, and more. But they are only fully functional once you have made sure to protect this below-grade area of your home from water and foundation problems. Albert Lea experiences significant rain and snow during the year, which puts your basement and its walls under a lot of pressure. Leaking water and bowing walls can ruin your home, but Innovative Basement Authority can help. Our permanent basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions can restore your home and your peace of mind.
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.

Structural Wall Repair
Repair your failing and crumbling structural walls with our proven products.

We had a great experience with the crew from groundwork on a waterproofing and channel installation. The team of Adrian J, Erik O. and Andrew G. Were courteous, mindful of the rest of the house as they hauled concrete back and forth, and finished the job ahead of schedule. The installation looks great. Adrian was really helpful on communication of the project and what they did and made sure all my questions and concerns were answered. The whole process from estimating, to scheduling, to the work was top notch – would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely positive experience from David, our salesman, as well as the crew. Collin, the crew foreman, was very responsive to any questions, concerns and greeted us each morning on the jobsite. Collin also, let us know what to expect the following day, and kept us well informed to the progress of the project while on site. I highly recommend IBA to anyone looking to have their crawlspace or anything "basementy"! Thanks David and crew! After the encapsulation, I might even venture into our clean, non-musty smelly, critter free crawlspace! I am most excited for warmer floors!! Whoop, whoop!

David drove out of his way to look at our basement issues. He sat down with us and really listened to our issues. Then he did a thorough inspection with pictures. He then sat down again with us and went over a plan that fits our budget and goals. Highly suggest working with Groundworks for your basement needs.

We had a drainage system installed in our basement in 2020 after flooding occurred. Everything has been working great, but we scheduled a maintenance check in spring of 2026, just in case. Michael B. came out to do the inspection and we were impressed with his thorough and detailed work. He identified where the purchased dehumidifier was discharging air against a wall and installed a vent to redirect the discharge free of charge. He clearly communicated his findings from the inspection. We feel confident in knowing how to care for our system moving forward.

Chad and Josh were great. The communication was clear and prompt and the work was great as far as I can tell. The first rain after the job and I could already tell water was draining away from the house.
