Basement Drainage Channels Installation
I wish I could give Innovative Basement Authority a negative rating. Run away from this company as fast as you can. Beware- they are changing their name to Ground Works. Probably because of all the negative reviews.
We paid a substantial amount of money to install one of their basement systems after having water problems. The initial sales guy was a very high-pressure seller, trying to get us to sign a contract the same day he came out.
Fast forward a year. They told us they needed to come out for an inspection. The sales guy ?found? $40,000 work of additional work that was ?urgent?. He used scare-tactics and tried to convince us we needed to sign on the dotted line immediately. Because of course mold is going to make my family sick. It seemed sketchy to me, but I was able to get the guy to leave without us signing that day. I immediately called our trusted home inspector, and he said the sales guy was trying to sell us things we did not need. He also said he had talked to others

Concrete Foundation Repair
While I can't guarantee this company's work is always bad, the "work" they did for me was awful and incredibly expensive compared to competitors. I called Innovative to fix a wall in my basement that was bowing inwards. The salesman was nice enough but did take longer than the other 2 companies. Quoted $8,000 to fix it. Not happy but we decided to do it instead of letting the problem get worse. Workers came out a few weeks later after taking my deposit and start tearing up the drywall and stairs. They discover the material used is different than what the salesman thought (Having spent a bit over an hour looking at just the one wall. Now they can't perform the work to quote. Salsman gets back to me. Now the price is $18,000 to get it fixed! Felt fishy so we backed out and got our deposit back (thankfully) But now our walls are a mess, and stairs are broken! Called Blackburn and a concrete repair company our neighbor recommended. Both take less than 20 minuets to identify the issue and the correct way to fix it without me mentioning the "unusual" brick. (Turns out it's not unusual and actually very identifiable) Both quote me less than 5,000 for a fix. Which was cheaper than my initial quote from innovative! My overall opinion of Innovative is the workers are inexperienced and will charge the customer more to make up for it.

Foundation, Basement or Crawlspace Waterproofing / Encapsulation
Wow, just absolutely wow! We purchased a home in West Fargo, ND. in February 2022, from a less than honest individual, who had covered up and failed to disclose the home had basement water/foundation issues. After interviewing several companies, we chose Innovative Basement Authority (IBA) to set things right. Their product is state of the art and well worth the investment. The project began August 28 and was completed on schedule, as promised. The Foreman (Jacob D.) and crew (Leonard S., Mike B., Zach B., and Brandon C.) were a consummate group of professionals. They were conscientious, knowledgeable, friendly and above all courteous. We highly recommend IBA, their products/services and most especially the crew mentioned above.

Concrete Foundation Repair
Jacob D and Lenard S provided great service. Professional and friendly. Made sure I knew what was going on and answered questions. Treated my home and my family with respect and didn't damage anything, which not all contractors seem concerned about. I have some additional basement work that will need to be complete and I will definitely be using Innovative again.

Basement Drainage Channels Installation
The work was completed in 2021. Never has worked. Leaks everytime it rains. Called them out several times each call is rescheduled at least once before actually arriving. Told was put in wrong had to redo. Each time they have shown up since they say will get back to us. Was told they did work on it last year they did not . They were supposed to come back out never showed. Winter set in then when the snow melted basement flooded. Again came out a week ago told turned it over to a supervisor still waiting to hear from them. Nothing spent a lot of money and still have the problem. I would not suggest this company. Once you pay your history does not back up their work. I just want our basement to stop flooding. Do not use this company. Disappointed in Minot ND. Update 07/07/2023- I did hear back. They did call and schedule an appointment which was again was rescheduled. I am frustrated we paid over 5K for this work and I feel that I am getting passed off. The gentleman that looked at it said he will get with his supervisor and said they are in the process of figuring out what they are going to do and in the meantime I am still waiting.

The whole process was very professional and smooth. Everything was explained in detail up front and the work took less time than anticipated. Brandon, Rich, and Armstrong (our crew) were extremely friendly and professional and made sure we were 100% satisfied before they left. They were very thorough and went above and beyond in checking over previous problem areas with my wife.
