Basement Waterproofing in Big Lake, MN

Review Logo 4.8 (509)

In Big Lake, MN, basements are particularly vulnerable to water damage due to the local soil composition and precipitation levels. The sandy and loamy soils can result in excess moisture accumulation, especially during the region's annual rainfall and snow melt. When basement drainage systems fail, hydrostatic pressure builds up, leading to cracks and leaks in basement walls. Homeowners may experience issues like flooded basements, efflorescence, or wet drywall. To combat these problems, Innovative Basement Authority offers effective solutions such as sump pumps, interior drainage systems, and dehumidifiers to keep your basement dry.

Innovative Basement Authority (IBA), a Groundworks Company, is dedicated to providing exceptional foundation repair, basement waterproofing, crawl space encapsulation, and concrete lifting services in Big Lake and the surrounding areas. Our commitment to high-quality home repair solutions and exceptional customer service is evident in every project we undertake. With our team of trained professionals, advanced products, and nationally backed warranties, IBA is ready to help you protect your home from water damage and ensure the longevity of your basement.

"Our house was built in 1931 and I was fairly certain it was sinking. I called Brice at Innovative Basement and told him my entire long theory on what I thought was happening.He was incredibly patient and said that could be happening but quite unlikely, please let me take a look.He drove up to Duluth from Rush City and put my mind at ease when he said, this is super simple, you only need two supports installed.My vision of having to have the house lifted to the tune of 6 figures was put to rest. I had another company take a look and they agreed to assessment but wanted $2000 more for the work. I went with Brice and Innovative.Their crew of Steven W, Codi S and Zane came rolling in and I can say I don't think there is a crew that enjoys their job more, has more fun doing it and is incredibly professional, capable, respectful and put my mind to ease. They know what to do, how to do it and do it right. We had immediate results and I'm so grateful for the referral. I highly recommend them! Five stars for all of them all the way!"

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Big Lake

Foundation Cracks

Cracks in foundation walls or floors can let water seep into your basement, especially during heavy rain.

Poor Drainage Systems

Ineffective drainage, such as clogged gutters, downspouts, or poorly graded yards, directs water toward your foundation.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water in the soil builds pressure against basement walls, filling the clay bowl, and forcing water through cracks and joints.

High Water Table

Rising groundwater during heavy rain or snowmelt can seep into your basement through cracks or porous concrete.

Faulty or Missing Sump Pump

Water from heavy rainfall or flooding can accumulate in your basement without a working sump pump.

Plumbing Leaks

Leaking pipes or fixtures near your foundation can saturate the soil, causing water to seep into your basement and cause moisture related problems.
