St. Charles, MN

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

Schedule Your Free Inspection

The often-wet weather in southern Minnesota areas like St. Charles, coupled with the characteristic silty loam soil can create a recipe for disaster for your home. All the hydrostatic pressure built up in saturated soil around foundation walls can lead to cracks, bowing walls, moisture intrusion, mold growth, flooding, and other problems. Itโ€™s important to address these issues and their underlying causes at the first sign of trouble. Donโ€™t hesitate to contact Innovative Basement Authority for a free inspection and repair estimate so we can help you create a safer and healthier living environment.

Michael Bowers was our service technician. We had some work done a few years ago, and weโ€™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.

I had a problem with water coming into my basement over a half sill wall, Dave Anderson came and diagnosed the problem. Gregg P. and Kyle W. filled the void under the concrete slab with foam, checked for proper slope and drainage away from the house, and they caulked all potential problem areas thoroughly. All three were friendly, knowledgeable, informative and did the job efficiently, neatly with proper clean up. Thanks and 5 stars for all.

We just had a consultation by Logan J. to look over our basement and exterior grading; we were very pleased with the thoroughness of the inspection and the extensive information Logan was able to offer us. He was up-front about what we should be concerned about vs what are just aesthetic issues, and was able to give us some guidance on controlling moisture in the basement. For now weโ€™re having Groundworks lift some concrete pads around the exterior of our home and plan to use them to lift our front porch this summer or next. I definitely recommend getting a consultation from Groundworks (especially Logan if you can!) to get a good understanding of the state of your homeโ€™s basement and foundation with no pressure or sales tactics.

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 didnโ€™t know needed repair until they pointed it out. Prompt, respectful, and efficient. And backed it up with a warranty. HIGHLY recommended!

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.
