American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Prior Lake, MN, got in touch with us when she was ready to address her sinking front steps. Her steps had been sinking for some time now and it was starting to form a trip hazard. She decided to give us a call and set up her FREE estimate appointment. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Aidan H, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Aidan finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to give her his recommendations. Aidan said that we could fix the sinking concrete using our PolyLevel solution. He explained that our PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finish this type of installation with our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that gets applied to the joints and cracks in the concrete slab, preventing unwanted elements from getting below the concrete. The homeowner agreed and the work was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Domanik, and his team were able to easily lift the concrete back into place. Now our customer can enjoy her front walk without worries of tripping!

A homeowner from Prior Lake, MN, was dealing with water intrusion in her basement. Not wanting the issue to get out of hand, she decided to begin the search for a company that could help fix the issue. On the recommendation from a friend, she decided to call American Waterworks and set up her FREE estimate. A few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Nick S, headed out to the home to assess the basement. 

Upon the completion of the assessment, Nick met with the homeowner to give his recommendations. Nick explained to the homeowner that he wanted to combat the water in the basement with our WaterGuard. He elaborated, saying that our WaterGuard is an award-winning, patented below-floor drain that rests in a bed of drainage stone on top of the foundation footing. Nick went on to say by installing the drain at this point, it's kept out of the "mud zone","the point where clogged drains are common. The unique shape and large drain openings of WaterGuard® also aid in preventing clogs in the system.The homeowner agreed with Nick's proposal and a the job was scheduled for a month later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Raul B, ended up installing 156 ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. Now our customer can enjoy their basement without worries of water intrusion!

Matt H. in Delavan, MN had multiple cracked walls in his basement. One of the walls was severely bowing inward and the other had a large stair step-like crack in the wall that had gotten worse over time. A friend recommended that he contact American Waterworks to help solve his foundation problems, so he gave us a call for a FREE estimate. One of our Design Specialists, Jeremy Radtke, went to his home to inspect his foundation and design a solution. Jeremy assured Matt that we could permanently repair his foundation by installing 8 wall anchors. Matt was pleased to hear this, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team drilled small holes through the brick walls and into the soil surrounding the home. Then, they inserted long metal rods into the holes and they secured each end of the rods with anchor plates. Once they tightened the anchors, Matt was able to see a dramatic improvement in the stability of his walls. The wall anchors can continue to be tightened over time to gradually straighten the wall back to its original position. Since our anchors are backed by a lifetime warranty, Matt is confident that he chose the best long-term solution to protect his home.

A homeowner in Delavan, MN was tired of looking at the large cracks that had formed in his driveway. He went online to see what services were available in the Minnesota area and found the American Waterworks website. After some thorough research, he was pleased to learn that our concrete repair services were more affordable and timely solutions than other methods, so he signed up for a FREE estimate with us. We received his request and sent over one of our Design Specialists, Brad Williams. Brad inspected the concrete driveway and knew just the thing to eliminate the cracks and prevent future problems from happening. He explained that the empty space below the concrete had caused the cracks in the first place and by filling it with PolyLevel it would be stronger and prevent the driveway from sinking more. Brad also informed him that our NexusPro sealant would work to eliminate the cracks for good. The homeowner agreed and on the installations day Foreman Sam Klennert and his crew went to the site and installed the two products. A smooth driveway and happy homeowner were the results of this concrete repair project.
