Albert Lea, MN

We are dedicated to informing Albert Lea, MN homeowners of the benefits of basement waterproofing and crawl space repair in providing a healthy home environment.

Schedule Your Free Inspection

Basements can be fantastic offices, gyms, playrooms, fan caves, and more. But they are only fully functional once you have made sure to protect this below-grade area of your home from water and foundation problems. Albert Lea experiences significant rain and snow during the year, which puts your basement and its walls under a lot of pressure. Leaking water and bowing walls can ruin your home, but Innovative Basement Authority can help. Our permanent basement waterproofing and foundation repair solutions can restore your home and your peace of mind.

Grant B. came out to our house and did a completely thorough job diagnosing our basement/foundation issues and proposing a solution. We were very pleased with his professionalism and quote, and even though we're not deciding to have the work done at this time because of expense, we would definitely recommend Grant to anyone looking to have major basement renovation done in the Bismarck or Sioux Falls area.

Pharoah, Will, Angel and Padro called 20 minutes before arriving. Will introduced himself and explained what they would be doing. The team started working. They were respectful as they moved from the basement to their truck covering the floor and minimizing the dust. The job was scheduled for two day but the completed it in one.

I am very impressed with the technology Innovative offers to make comprehensive, long-term solutions for aging homes. My work crew, Marcus and Marvin, had excellent communication. ✨They were always on time, respected my home with protective barriers and clean up, and helped me understand every step of the process. They were also very kind to my curious kids. 😊

Anthony B. was incredible! He was instrumental in getting my basement repaired and safe for my family. He came to my home and spent a much time as I needed explaining the entire process, options, financing and follow-up maintenance. Then a team (Josh A., Jason C., and Blake C.) showed up to compete the work. They were respectful of my home and my time. They completed the work (installation of Intellibraces along two basement walls) in less than two days. My basement was left in great shape. They have me peace of mind that my home is now more stable and my family is more safe. I look forward to them returning to tighten the braces to further secure my walls. I would recommend this company and this team in particular and would be happy to hire them for future projects.

Dave & John came out to our house for our regular inspection of a system Innovative installed a couple years ago. They confirmed the system was working perfectly. They also inspected the rest of the house and found the house was tilting towards the walkout side. They recommended settlestop push piers to stabilize the house and keep it locked into place. They explained the problem and solutions clearly and effectively, including the pricing and financing options. I appreciate their thoroughness and straightforward approach. Highly recommend!

Chad arrived on time for a one-year inspection of work completed last year. He was friendly, thorough, and professional. While inspecting the interior foundation, he noticed that I didn't have a backup sump system and provided a no-pressure quote. An hour and a half later I had a nice backup system in place – something I've wanted to take care of for 30 years – finally done! 🙂

Great Company and awesome guys working on my house. Josh A, Robert P and Justin S did a great job stabilizing my home foundation. They were very knowledgeable, kind and some of the hardest working men I have seen in a long while. Keep up the great work. They gave me peace of mind that all was going to be great once they were finished.

Jeremy T, Dion R and Andre B did a great job with the installation of drain tile in my basement. They walked me through everything before and after installation. They left my basement clean and covered all of my personal belongings to keep them clean and safe.

Dustin Gaudette did a great job of explaining the condition of the foundation, the problem, and the proposed solution. There was no high pressure sales pitch to sign the proposal right away. He gave us options and time to talk it over. Dustin has a construction background and it shows in the way he looks at a house.
