Cracked Concrete Walkway Gets Repaired in Farmington, MN

A Farmington, MN, homeowner was growing concerned about her front walkway. It had been sinking over the years but recently had formed numerous cracks on the surface, resulting in serious trip hazards. The homeowner wanted to ensure no one took a tumble, so she began her search for MN concrete repair. When she came across our website, she signed up for her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Romeo V, made a stop at her home. 

Once Romeo finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss recommendations. Romeo began by saying that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons but that we could fix the issue using our PolyLevel method. Romeo explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected below sinking concrete slabs and slowly lifts the slabs back into place. He went on to say that once the lift is complete, our team will install our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied directly to cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent moisture from getting below the concrete to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner liked the sound of Romeo's plan and scheduled the job for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dylon V, and his team were able to lift and seal the concrete without complications. Now, our customer is thrilled to know she no longer has to worry about trip hazards!

Sunken Concrete Driveway Raised in Saint Paul Park, MN

Jeff L. in Saint Paul Park, MN noticed that his concrete driveway had sunk a couple of inches after the change of the season. This had caused a trip hazard and a large bump when driving in and out of the garage. While researching concrete repair, he came across the American Waterworks website and was interested in our PolyLevel concrete solution. He contacted us for a FREE estimate, so we sent Kevin McWithey to his home to design a solution. Jeff was pleased to learn that our PolyLevel solution is more affordable, durable and efficient compared to traditional concrete repair, so he scheduled the installation.

Our PolyLevel experts, Trevor and Brevan drilled small holes into the concrete slabs and then injected the PolyLevel foam until it was raised and even with the garage floor. The process was minimally invasive and only took a couple hours to complete. Jeff is happy with the results and is glad he will be able to enjoy level concrete for years to come!

NexusPro and PolyLevel Saves Sidewalk in Saint Paul Park, MN

A homeowner in Saint Paul Park, MN, was anxious about the status of their sidewalk. Wanting to avoid concrete replacement, the homeowner searched for a repair option. Unsure of who to work with, the homeowner asked their family and friends for recommendations. Many of their friends and family said to reach out to us, American Waterworks. The homeowner visited our website and investigated our concrete lifting and leveling services. Impressed by our list of services, the homeowner decided to sign up for their FREE estimate. Once the estimate was set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Gary, one of our Design Specialists. After Gary arrived, he began inspecting the concrete to find the root of the issue. Gary discovered that the sidewalk and driveway were sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the concrete from sinking further, Gary recommended the sidewalk and driveway be lifted and leveled. Knowing this was their best option, the homeowner decided to follow Gary's recommendations and production began. Our Forman, Troy, and his crew traveled to the home to begin concrete lifting and leveling. When the crew arrived, they started by mapping out where the PolyLevel would be injected. Next, the crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk and driveway. Once the PolyLevel was fully inserted, the crew shifted their focus to inserting the NexusPro Joint Sealant in all the sidewalk joints. The crew successfully lifted and leveled the affected area, so they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew. American Waterworks is happy to lift and level another home's sidewalk. 

High Levels of Radon Gas Eliminated in Saint Paul Park, MN

A homeowner from Saint Paul Park, MN, had just learned about the dangers of radon gas. While she admittedly knew very little about the gas, that didn't stop her from heading to her local home improvement store to purchase a radon gas test. After conducting the test at home, she was shocked when the levels in her home returned higher than normal. She quickly decided to find a radon specialist in MN. When she found our website, she claimed her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

When Brad arrived, he got right to work scouting out a place for a radon mitigation system. When he finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner. Brad began by saying that the homeowner was right to get in touch with us. Brad explained that radon gas is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that comes from the breakdown of soil surrounding your home's foundation. It enters your home through small cracks and holes in the foundation, and silently wreaks havoc on the lining of the lungs. Brad finished by saying that radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer, claiming 21,000 lives annually. Brad could tell the homeowner was growing uneasy, so he reassured her that we could help. Brad strongly urged the homeowner to install a radon mitigation systemA typical radon mitigation system consists of a large-diameter plastic pipe that connects the air beneath your foundation to the outdoors. An in-line fan sucks radon-rich air from beneath your foundation and expels this hazardous air to the exterior. Instead of entering your basement or other living space area through numerous gaps and cracks in the foundation, radon gas is extracted from beneath your foundation before it can permeate into interior space. The homeowner was thrilled with Brad's solution and signed on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Dakota M, was able to effortlessly place the radon mitigation system. Now, our customer is thrilled to know the air circulating in her home was only the cleanest!
