    I AM VERY PLEASED WITH YOUR SERVICE. THE SALESMAN DID NOT TRY AND SELL ME SOMETHING I DID NOT NEED NOR WANT. THE INSTALLATION PERSON WAS GREAT. HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE WAS DOING SO I FELT COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE JOB. HE MADE A COMMENT SEVERAL TIMES IF ANY PROBLEMS, TO CONTACT COMPANY SO THEY CAN MAKE IT RIGHT. THAT MAKES ME FEEL THAT YOU CARE ABOUT THE JOB YOU DO.

Basement and foundation contractors serving Valparaiso, Elkhart, South Bend, Mishawaka areas.

Jim Nova used his construction and mechanical background to found Nova, Inc. in 1977. The company's main function then was to provide an effective and economical alternative to the less than effective and costly processes available at that time. 

About the Founder

Brian Lannery

Jim Nova

Jim founded Nova Basement Systems in 1975. With a Masters Degree in Vocation Building Trades, Electronics and Drafting from Indiana University, he started his career as a Building Trades Educator. Through the decades, he has not only taught, but he built numerous houses through his years as a teacher and on his own.

He has 40 years experience in construction and mechanical trade, which led him to concentrate on finding economic solutions for waterproofing and stabilizing deteriorating basements. He carries a current contractors license in the states of Michigan and Indiana.

In December of 2014 Jim was able to retire and turn the company reins over to four of his long time employees. Dave Naughton, Phil Droege, Terresa Draves and Mike Flores who combined have over 60 years of experience working at Nova Basement Systems. They are very excited to carry on the name and reputation that Jim has built up over the past 38 years.
