American Waterworks Before & After Photos

This home's foundation in Bear Lake, MN was cracking and beginning to bow. The home was older and needed some foundation help. So they contacted us to assess the problem. 

We decided to use Residential Shotcrete, which stabilizes old, deteriorating walls. This substance is twice as strong as concrete. 

Now the homeowners feel twice as safe with their newly reinforced foundation! 

A real estate agent in White Bear Lake, MN reached out to American Waterworks after a homeowner was struggling to sell their previous home.  

American Waterworks recommended installing CleanSpace, a crawl space vapor barrier, because it is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve a home.  Along with the protection from mold and rot, a dry crawl space can free their home of insects and other pests that need excess moisture to survive.  Mice and rats are deterred by the plastic vapor barrier, and flooding waters will be kept at bay.  

A homeowner from White Bear Lake, MN, got in touch with us when he noticed a large trip hazard on the concrete in front of his home. He had been aware that the concrete was slowly sinking over time but knew fixing it sooner rather than later would be in his best interest. He began his search for MN concrete repair companies and found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Kyle P, headed out to the home. 

Once Kyle completed his inspection, he met with the homeowner to deliver his findings. Kyle explained that concrete can sink for a variety of reasons, but whatever the reason, we could help restore the concrete using our PolyLevel method. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the slab back into place. Kyle went on to say that when the lift is complete, our team will go in with our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete and works to prevent moisture from getting below the slab. The homeowner agreed and scheduled the work for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Troy W, and his team completed the lift and level with no issues. Now, our customer can enjoy their outdoors without worries of trip hazards!

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was growing tired of her front walkway. The walkway had been sinking for years, creating numerous trip hazards and leading to the growth of numerous weeds between the slabs. She didn't want the issue to persist, so she took to the internet to search for concrete repair Minneapolis. When she found our website, she decided to claim her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, Gary S, our Design Specialist, was headed out to the home. 

Once Gary finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know that we could address the problem with the help of our PolyLevel. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath a sinking concrete slab. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, and in the process, it lifts the sunken slabs back to their desired location. Gary went on to say that, once the lift had been completed, he was recommending the installation of our NexusPro; a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the cracks and joints in the concrete. It works to protect the vulnerable soil below, as it is specifically designed to stand up against harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the sound of Gary's plan, and scheduled the job for some time later. 

When the installation date rolled around, one of our concrete Foremen, Troy J, headed out to the home. He and his team were able to complete the lift in no time, and now, our customer can enjoy her refreshed concrete!

Sam from Saint Paul, Mn was in hopes of renewing his basement systems to help provide his home with more security against water that could potentially harm the foundation of his home. The first step he took to protect his home was to upgrade his sump pump and insert a new drainage system. Sam immediately contacted the Appointment Center here at American Waterworks and scheduled his Free Estimate which entitled him to a full home inspection. Once scheduled, our Design Specialist then attended his home and began a thorough inspection of the property. Our Design Specialist then proposed to Sam that the best solution is to invest in our TripleSafe Sump Pump system along with our Waterguard Drainage system. Sam was comfortable with the proposal and went forward with the project by setting a date of installation. 

Once the date of installation arrived, our Foreman along with his Production team  attended to the property and began to jackhammer the concrete along the perimeter of the basement to insert the WaterGuard Drainage System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage on top of the foundation footing. This type of WaterGuard is most commonly used due to the resistance against water clogs and easy access ports to properly flush out the mud from the system. Once inserted the Production team then proceeded to remove the old sump pump system and replace it with a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has three levels of protection which helps solve all three water problems. Once the job was done the team then places a fresh layer of concrete over the project to provide a finishing look and secure the system to stay in place. 

Sam was satisfied with the project and had a great experience with the Production crew!
