The crew that came out to do our work, Abraham, Darius, and Thane, were great. They like the work they do and had a great time laughing and joking around. Great explanation of how the system works and what all they were doing. Everything is very professional and just a great work from all.

Great work on our basement yearly service – DeVon T was kind, professional and thorough. Innovative Basement Authority had added a second sump pump for us 2 years ago, as well as full waterproofing.

Nick S , Devon A , and Josh H did a great job. 1 day job. They were courteous and did what was expected. They didn’t seemed rushed, from what I could over hear and see, it seemed like they had a good time working together as a team. The foreman kept me up to date with any flaws they ran into. My bill estimate never changed, luckily! Very impressed with the work and our new sump pump.

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!

My garage apron was in need of repair. IBA did a fantastic raising job. Grant C and Mark F worked together very well to achieve a professional result. They were very personable, listened to my concerns and followed thru. I recommend IBA to anyone needing concrete lifting. Their product is superior to concrete filler and cures much faster. They did a good job on cleanup also.

Our technician Michael did a great job explaining our options on fixing our front sidewalk. He was informative and thorough and was not pushy. We have worked with groundwork’s in the past and look forward to working with them again. Thanks Michael.

Austin T, Wyatt S, Zane H and Bryce J did a fantastic job on our basement house leveling project. They all were efficient, professional and knowledgeable. They were able to reuse the cement footings rather than pour new, which adjusted the price and saved us money. Very honest and trustworthy company. Definitely will use them for future needs and highly recommend.
