Leaky Basement Gets a Solution in New Brighton, MN

A New Brighton, MN, homeowner was facing an issue with his basement. Whenever his area got rain, it always seemed to wind up in his basement, leaving small puddles. The homeowner knew that if he continued to let the problem go unchecked, he could run the risk of doing permanent damage to his space.  He began to look for interior waterproofing companies in MN and quickly found us. He scheduled his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, was headed out to the home. 

Once Brad completed his inspection of the basement, he met with the homeowner to deliver his recommendations. Brad explained that he wanted to use three of our products to address the intrusion. First, Brad wanted to use our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a 100% waterproof tarp-like material that gets adhered directly to the basement walls. It works to catch water entering through holes or cracks in the wall, directing it downward and into a perimeter system. Because the basement lacked a means of drainage, Brad recommended our WaterGuard system. This unique below-floor drain gets installed beneath the cement floor but atop the footing of the foundation, keeping it out of the 'mud zone' where similar drains tend to clog. This drain works to collect water entering from the CleanSpace, as well as any water coming up through holes in the foundation, giving the excess water a channel to flow freely to a disposal site such as a sump pump or discharge line. Brad noted that the basement was unequipped with a sump pump, so he recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump, an effective and economical solution for ridding your basement of water. The homeowner loved the sound of complimenting products and signed on the spot. 

The day of the installation eventually rolled around. Our Foreman, Kiko P, and his team were able to flawlessly install 60ft of both WaterGuard and CleanSpace and 1 SuperSump plus sump pump. Now our customer can rest easy knowing that his water intrusion issues were a thing of the past!

Once Logsitics finalized the plans, it was sent to our Foreman, Jesus, and his crew. Next, Jesus and his crew traveled to the home to begin the project. First, they ensured the home was ready for the GeoLock installation. Next, the crew went ahead and installed seven GeoLock Wall Anchors along the wall.

Hoping to avoid total concrete replacement, the homeowner looked into "concrete driveway repair near me". One of the first companies to catch their eye was us, American Waterworks.

Gary promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the driveway and surrounding concrete. Once he completed the estimate, Gary alerted the homeowners that the concrete was sinking and needed to be lifted. Gary recommended inserting PolyLevel underneath the sidewalk to lift it back to its original position. The homeowner knew this was their best option, so they decided to go ahead with Gary's proposal.

Once the project date arrived, our Foreman, Sam, and his crew traveled to the home to begin the installation. First, Sam and his crew inserted the PolyLevel underneath the driveway apron. After the driveway apron was properly lifted, the crew shifted their focus to lifting the sidewalk back to its original position.

Sunken Driveway Restored in Buffalo, MN

A homeowner from Buffalo, MN, was facing a problem with his concrete driveway. Over the years, many slabs within the driveway had begun to sink. Some had sunken so badly that it had led to cracks in the concrete. The homeowner was tired of looking at his unsightly driveway, so he decided to take action to correct the issue. The homeowner knew that American Waterworks handled concrete repair in MN so he signed up for his FREE estimate and waited for his appointment date to roll around. 

On the day of the estimate, our Design Specialist, Gary S, took his time evaluating the driveway and any connecting concrete. When he finished, he met with the homeowner. He started by saying that concrete can sink and crack for a variety of reasons, but nonetheless, American Waterworks could fix the issue with our PolyLevel injection. Gary explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete surfaces. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion, slowly lifting the concrete back into place in the process. The homeowner agreed with Gary's recommendations and scheduled the job on the spot. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam K, led his team through a flawless lift and level. Now, our customer can put her uneven driveway worries to rest! 

Sinking Concrete Driveway Raised in Scandia, MN

Stephen T. in Scandia, MN noticed that his concrete driveway had sunk a little over an inch after the winter. While doing research for concrete repair contractors, he came across the American Waterworks website and was intrigued by our PolyLevel concrete repair solution. We sent a Design Specialist to his home to inspect his concrete and provide him with a FREE estimate. Stephen was happy to learn that PolyLevel is more affordable, efficient and durable than traditional concrete repair, so he scheduled to have us repair his concrete.

PolyLevel is a polymer foam that expands once it is injected into the concrete. The strong and durable foam fills the voids beneath the concrete and raises the slab. One of our PolyLevel experts drilled small holes into Stephen’s concrete slabs and injected the polymer foam until his driveway was once again even with the garage floor. The process only took half a day, and now Stephen will be able to enjoy beautiful, level concrete for years to come!
