This was a follow up visit to check waterproofing done a year ago. Dave performed a thorough inspection and a succinct explanation as well as options for further improvement. A much appreciated visit.

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.

I was very impressed by the company and all that was included in the free initial inspection. I got to meet Nate and he was extremely thorough and informative. He was easy to talk to and I look forward to working with him in the future.

Groundworks did an outstanding job leveling and sealing the cracks in my sidewalk and driveway. Greg P. and Brandon S. were professional, efficient, and clearly take pride in their work. The results turned out exactly how I wanted and expected—everything looks solid and clean again. What impressed me most was how quickly they completed the job without sacrificing quality. Completely satisfied with the entire experience and would highly recommend!

We recently had Bryce J. inspect our home, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment he arrived, it was clear he was incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Bryce was thorough in every aspect of the inspection, taking the time to not only point out areas of concern but also explain what they meant and how to address them. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond. He didn’t rush through anything and made sure all of our questions were answered, no matter how small or specific. His professionalism and dedication gave us complete confidence in the inspection process. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about their work and ensures you feel informed every step of the way, Bryce is the person to call. We’re so grateful for his help and wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.

Great company, great team. From bid process with Brian to execution with Mark and Brandon everyone did exactly what they promised when they promised. I couldn't be more pleased with the final result. My patio no longer drains to the foundation but away as it should even in the heaviest rain. Would use these guys again in a heartbeat! Thanks!

My install technicians Noah Asheher and Alex Few were excellent. They called the day prior to remind us of the pending appointment and showed up on time the next day. They walked me through what the plan was prior to starting the work and were very courteous. They ran into some issues with our sprinkler line being in the way and took the initiative to circumvent to make sure the job was done right. They did an excellent job of cleaning up after the installation. It was a cold and wet day. It would have been easy to cut some corners to try to get done and out of the rain, but they pushed through and went above and beyond. I appreciated the work ethic and professionalism from these two. What a great team!

The whole process was quick and easy. From the estimate to the end walk through. The technicians were in constant contact and easy to get a hold of if I needed to. They sent updates and pictures and explained everything in a way I could understand. They started on a Monday and finished on a Thursday. Even with some tight spaces they made the crawlspace look amazing and exceeded my expectations. The crawlspace is large, and made the house smell very musty and you could tell there was moisture in the air. They installed jacks and steel beams under the floor joists, before every movement made upstairs you could feel in another room. Now that the project is finished you can't smell anything and the floors don't shake. Would highly recommend if you have a musty crawlspace.

How it works

Once the inspection is complete, the Inspector will sit with you and present their findings. And because we provide same-day estimates, you’ll have all the cost and financing information you need to make a decision right away.
