American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Elko New Market, MN, got in touch with us when he decided to address his sinking concrete walkway. His walkway had been slowly sinking over the years and was now almost completely detached from the front stoop. Not wanting the issue to worsen, he decided to begin the search for a company that could assist in the repairs. Once he came across our website, he decided to sign up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, headed out to the home. 

Once Brad finished his walkthrough, he met with homeowners to give them his plan of action. Brad began by saying that American Waterworks could address the sinking concrete by installing our PolyLevel lifting solution. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when injected beneath sinking slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting concrete back into place. The homeowner liked the sound of Brad's plan and scheduled the work to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Pat B, was able to complete the lift and seal with no issues. Now, our homeowner can enjoy their front walkway, knowing that the sinking has been addressed!

Clint R. of Kilkenny, MN had a two-inch stoop from his patio to his step, causing safety concerns for himself and visitors. He went to his local home show in Owatonna to see if there were any contractors that could help him. He saw our booth there and talked with our Design Specialist, Nate Proper. After an in-depth conversation about his concrete problem, Clint scheduled a FREE Estimate. Nate inspected the problem, came up with a solution, and Clint followed through with the plan. 

Our Foreman, Brandon Wiskow, injected 104 pounds of our PolyLevel underneath the concrete to raise and stabilize the surface. Our PolyLevel is a dense, unique foam that cures quick and adjusts within minutes. Clint was able to use his concrete the day off and was extremely satisfied with the turnout! 

A homeowner from Kilkenny, MN, was down in her basement one day when she noticed a crack she hadn't seen before. The crack resembled a staircase and ran up the length of the wall. Upon further investigation, the homeowner was alarmed to find several of the same cracks on that wall. Fearing what a cracking foundation could mean for her home, she decided to find a company that could shed some light on the issue. One night, she saw our TV ad and decided to get in touch. She scheduled her FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Eric H, headed out to the home. 

Eric got right to work conducting his inspection. When he finished, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Eric explained that foundation walls are designed to support loads from above, not from the side. When side pressure on your walls exceeds their ability to withstand the force, they begin to crack, bow, slide in at the bottom, and/or tilt inward at the top. Eric's recommendation, our GeoLock wall anchors, can counteract soil pressure by anchoring walls to stable, undisturbed soil outside the home. Thanks to threaded rods that extend through the wall, wall anchors can even be used to straighten walls in many cases. The homeowner liked the sound of Eric's plan and scheduled the installation for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our production team, led by their Foreman, Juan P, ended up installing 5 of our GeoLock anchors along the problem wall. Now, our customer can enjoy her basement knowing she conquered her foundation cracks!

Karen E. of Pemberton, MN had water leaking through the windows of her basement and needed them replaced with more protection. After doing some research on the American Waterworks website, she called and got her FREE Estimate scheduled. Our Design Specialist, Jeremy Girgen, went to her home to inspect the windows and come up with a solution. Karen was confident with the proposal, so she scheduled the installation. 

Our Foreman, Hugo Sanchez, and his production crew broke out the concrete around the existing windows and installed our EverLast Basement Windows, which provide much more protection and energy efficiency. Hugo and his crew applied new concrete around the windows to complete the project. Karen was very happy, and the project was done within a day!

Matt and Michelle W. of Easton, MN had cracked foundation walls in their basement so they called American Waterworks after being referred by another customer. Our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson, came to their home for a FREE Estimate. After an in-depth inspection, Matt and Michelle were confident with Ben's proposal, so they followed through with the project. 

Our Foreman, Rene Hernandez, and his production team dug seven holes outside of the home and installed our GeoLock Wall Anchors. To do this, they inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the outside soil to the inside foundation wall, and tightened an anchor on the ends of each rod. Our GeoLock Wall Anchors are designed to pull the walls back into their natural position. To complete the project, Rene and his team back filled the holes and replaced the soil. Matt and Michelle were happy with the outcome and were amazed at how quick the work was completed!
