Red Wing, MN
We are dedicated to informing Red Wing, MN homeowners of the benefits of basement waterproofing and crawl space repair in providing a healthy home environment.
Schedule Your Free InspectionThe often-wet weather in southern Minnesota areas like Red Wing, coupled with the characteristic silty loam soil can create a recipe for disaster for your home. All the hydrostatic pressure built up in saturated soil around foundation walls can lead to cracks, bowing walls, moisture intrusion, mold growth, flooding, and other problems. It’s important to address these issues and their underlying causes at the first sign of trouble. Don’t hesitate to contact Innovative Basement Authority for a free inspection and repair estimate so we can help you create a safer and healthier living environment.

Chaz came out to look at our basement that we were concerned was having moisture problems. It was a free quote/inspection, and he was very honest and didn't try to scare us or sell us into anything we didn't actually need. The actual quote just came back and seems reasonably priced, too, given the prices for everything these days.

Ricky was very thorough checking my foundation for cracks, which he did find an issue. He did drawings and was able to show me what needed to be done and why. Also worked hard in my crawl space for a couple of hours to get it up to speed. Nice guy too!

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.

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.

Our basement wall had developed cracks in a couple areas and there was also a hard, white crust that developed along the grout lines of the cynder blocks. I was worried about this enough where I called Groundworks to see what they thought. Kevin, their inspector, arrived right on time and looked at the wall in the basement as well at the area outside of the house that's above this wall. When he was done inspecting, and taking many measurements with a laser, he gave a detailed assessment, with quotes, for improvements he recommended. Kevin was very polite and friendly and didn't try pressuring me with huge repair costs. He did a great job explaining what was taking place and developed an effective plan of action with me. I intended to get several quotes for this work but since Kevin's honesty was very apparent, I didn't bother.

Had a great outcome on the finished product. Ty did an amazing job of identifying the issues and addressing them in a professional manner. He treated us with respect and really felt he listened to us. Leonard was involved from the beginning of the job till the end and did a great job of explaining the work he was doing and answered all of our questions in detail so we understood what to expect. Anthony and Ghaven did a wonderful job finishing up and cleaning everything up. Very friendly and professional. I would recommend Innovative Basement to anyone.

Michael Bowers was our service technician. We had some work done a few years ago, and we’re pleased with that work, but knew more was needed. Michael was excellent at explaining what was happening and their options to address it. I very much appreciated his no pressure sales approach.
