I had my inspection today concerning a large crack in my garage floor. The inspector that came out today, Abraham Mukulwa, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough with his inspection of our garage. He put in the extra effort to make sure we were made aware of the issues that had caused our garage floor cracking and walked us through the options to remedy the problem. The professionalism, friendliness, and fair pricing of this company and its inspectors makes it stand out above others and I look forward to working with them to resolve our garages issues!
Description of Work: I needed the concrete slab in my garage to be lifted and leveled- as well as a large crack in the concrete to be repaired.

My foundation needs repairing. Nathan Brand was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained everything. It turned out that Innovative Basement Authority doesn't do the work that needs to be done. Nathan and I talked about options. He didn't rush through it and was very patient when I had questions.

It went really well. They worked fast and clean and did a great job. Aaron Seth and Dustyn did a great job. Aaron walked me through everything so I understood what was going on and kept in touch with me throughout the project if plans ever needed to change. If I hire them again, I want this crew to come back

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.

We were amazed at how efficient, timely, and thorough the crew was from initial estimate visit to actual work completion. They were very willing to answer the questions we had and explain how the new inside drain tile system would function as well as radon mitigation. We experienced a horrific fall with 14 inches of rain that the existing system could not handle resulting in complete disruption of our family room and basement. As we are in the process of redoing those areas we anxiously await the spring thaw to see to the extent the new system handles the problem. We cannot say enough good things about how the process went and the work of the crew that was here. We are so thankful and only wish we had done this sooner.

They did a wonderful job! It stopped the mice and spiders from getting in. It is not wet like it was and I am able to store items in the basement again. It also stopped the mildew smell and has made a huge difference in my heating bill as well. I save $100 to $200 a month from this and I would highly recommend them.

We had several things we wanted them to look at, one our driveway had cracks in it and it was sinking. He looked at that, and he looked at how secure one of our walls were because this is an old lake place. He looked the whole thing, the perimeter over and everything. He did a really good job. He made an appointment with us which was yesterday. He wasn't the easiest to make arrangements with; it seems like he works all of the time. Then, he came to my house in town yesterday and showed us what he found. He had pictures and showed us what solutions they could offer and it had pictures showing us how it works and everything. We signed up for more than we asked him to look for. The price that he quoted us was so much less than we were expecting because that's a good deal; you know all the walls and stuff like that. So, the first go he quoted us $3,529, and that's for lifting that driveway. They also have a seal dry system. It's like an industrial dehumidifier. Because there's a lot of trouble at the lake where it's closed up sometimes and it just smells musty, even if it isn't closed up. You know anytime you're on the lake like that, there's a lot of humidity. I was really impressed and so was my son. Even as much important, he listened to us He was a good worker and looking for solutions to problems. He worked very hard to get those appointments with us at a time that worked for us. The first one my son was on vacation, so he wasn't able to be up there. His name is Paul he comes from St. Paul. The second one though was more difficult, we had to do it on a Saturday. He doesn't normally do that, but he did in this case because that's the only time my son could do that because he was back working. His responsiveness was good, it was us who was difficult. He really worked with us, to the point where he had to consult his wife his wife for the Saturday appointment. He was there before time on a Saturday, by about 10 minutes and he was there on right on the dot up at the lake. Absolutely, we will use him again, my son maybe using him in Lakeville too. For y needs the estimate was wonderful, we were expecting it to be much more expensive, that was a pleasant surprise. I chose to go with them because there aren't a lot of companies, there are mud and jack companies. But, we were looking for someone to do the driveway, and they could look at that wall to see if it's secure. It turns out it needs some help, but you know this company can do it all, they can take care of both things. I guess that's my main reason.
Description of Work: They gave an estimate to life my driveway and to secure our walls.
