American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner from Bloomington, MN, was noticing a gap forming between their siding and concrete stairs. Not wanting the uneven concrete to cause any run-off water issues, she decided to get in touch with us to claim her FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, our Design Specialist, Brad W, headed out to the home. Once Brad finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that we could address the sinking concrete with our PolyLevel solution. Brad explained that our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting the concrete back into place. He went on to say that we finish our lifting and leveling installations with our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro is applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete to ensure that no unwanted element permeates the concrete. The homeowner agreed to the proposed work, and the job was scheduled for a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team were able to complete the lift and effectively redirect any unwanted water away from the foundation of the home!

A homeowner in Bloomington, MN was concerned when he noticed how badly his back porch had sunken causing the area to be a trip hazard, and decided to look into concrete lifting services in the area. The homeowner found our website and was extremely impressed with our before and after photos and decided to contact us to schedule his FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, one of our Design Specialists arrived at the home to answer any questions the homeowner had and to conduct a proper inspection of the concrete. During the inspection, our Design Specialist explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of settling concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves through the ground beneath the slab and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, this causes the slab to sink. For this reason, our Design Specialist recommended PolyLevel, a waterproof polyurethane formula that allows for accurate leveling of concrete slabs, and NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant that is both flexible and highly durable to seal the joints. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner happily agreed to our Design Specialist's recommendation.

In about a month, our Foreman, Dylon V., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slabs and inserting the injection ports. Then, PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab, expanding and filling in the empty spaces in the soil. Once the concrete slab has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with cement. Lastly, the crew used NexusPro to seal the joints. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Laura T. of Minneapolis, MN had extremely damp walls and damp cracks in her basement floor.

A Minneapolis, MN, homeowner was beginning the initial stages of selling her home. However, she knew she had one roadblock to overcome. She had several stair-step cracks running the length of her basement. She didn't want any foundation issues to compromise a potential sale, so she decided to search for a professional MN basement foundation repair company. When she found our website, she decided to sign up for one of our FREE estimates, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Derek V, headed out to the home. 

Derek got right to work inspecting each wall. When he concluded his comprehensive inspection, he met with the homeowner to discuss his recommendations. Derek began by saying that the homeowner was right to contact us, as failing foundations are notorious for dragging down the resale value of a home. Derek recommended the use of our PowerBrace wall repair system. The PowerBrace™ is a patented foundation wall repair system that's designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential to straighten walls over time. These steel I-beams will stabilize the wall in its current position without any further adjustment. Over time, the PowerBrace™ System can be tightened to make bowing or tilting walls straighter and more vertical. The homeowner was thrilled to hear that the solution wasn't going to be overly invasive and decided to schedule the project on the spot. 

Several weeks later, our team, lead by their Foreman, Jesus C, headed out to the home to install the system. When they had finished, they had successfully installed 16 of our PowerBraces throughout the basement of the home. Now, our customer can confidently resell her home, knowing that her foundation worries are in the past!
