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.

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.

Grant.C. and Mark.F. did an amazing job fixing my driveway. Looking at the cracks I had no idea how they were going to make it flat again, but after Mark laid out the perfect grid Grant started filling it was a true artist at work. I would highly recommend.

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.

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.

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!

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.

My project was completed by innovative this week. The communication throughout this whole process has been great, and the crew of Andrew and Ben was fantastic. They showed up on time, completed the project on schedule, and did a great job of cleaning up. The final project exceeded my expectations. I am so happy I finally decided to call Innovative to help protect our home.
