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 InspectionBasements 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.
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.

Excellent and professional service from Isaiah McKeown, Chris Popowich, and Mike Erickson filling under our garage floor.

IBA fixed my driveway and sidewalk saving me many thousands in concrete demo and repairs. Andrew and Ben did awesome work, even fixing areas I didn’t know needed repair until they pointed it out. Prompt, respectful, and efficient. And backed it up with a warranty. HIGHLY recommended!

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.
