"The team came in and did a great job. John and Travis were very professional when working with what we wanted. Phill and team did a very professional job of installing the new shower, tub and vanities. I would definitely have them do more projects if I have them available."
"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."
"Thanks to Brady for getting me into a great window project! Mine was broken and leaking snow into the house and Your Home Improvement Co. saved the day! The install went smooth and the continued service after showed they keep taking care of you well after they install. Thanks again!"

"The business saw and noticed the damage gutted out half the bathroom and replaced the damaged floor and then replaced the tub and shower. They blended all new work done perfectly into anything that wasnt replaced."
"They couldn't deliver, they specified items that after months of waiting, they could never deliver. In the mean time, they directed me to have plumbing rough and done, and then when they couldn't deliver the system for which the plumbing was done, I now have to spend several thousand dollars having the plumbing redone for another system that I found out on my own. The design was okay, some of their ideas were spot on, some of them were way off but ultimately they just couldn't deliver after holding $10,000 of my money for over 2 months. I am currently in a dispute with them with American Express because they still haven't credited me back the money I paid them to purchase things that they never delivered."
You cannot replace a shower valve without turning off the water. Always turn your water off before doing any kind of plumbing work—and this project is no exception. Turning off the water is a best practice for personal safety and to keep things in your home dry.
It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish a clog from a frozen drainpipe since ice technically causes a clog. If the temperature doesn’t tip you off, there are a few additional signs that your pipe is frozen. Look for condensation and frost around the pipes. Ice in pipes can cause a banging or clanking noise as opposed to a clog from a softer material.
Main water shut-off valves last 10 to 20 years on average, though they can sometimes last longer. This depends in part on the material you choose. Brass valves are very durable, but more expensive bronze or stainless steel valves may last even longer. Main water shut-off valves often fail due to aging internal parts, such as rubber washers. However, corrosion and sediment buildup also contribute to valve failure. If purchasing a home at least 10 years old, you may want to replace the main water shut-off valve soon to avoid potential problems.
Plumbing leaks are usually not covered by homeowners insurance because the problems are avoidable with proper maintenance. In most cases, you’ll have to pay out of pocket for a fix. However, if the leak is a direct result of a natural disaster, like an earthquake that cracked a pipe or a house fire, your insurance may cover the repairs.
