American Waterworks Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mankato, MN, was concerned that his sunken walkway and driveway would lower the resale value of his home. He looked for concrete lifting services in the area and found our website. Impressed with our before-and-after photos, he contacted us to schedule his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Tony B., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to asses the walkway and driveway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common reasons for concrete sinking is soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, it causes the soil beneath the concrete slab to expand and contract. As this continues, the slab will sink, eventually leading to cracks in one or more parts of the slab. To fix this issue, Tony recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the cracks and joints. The homeowner was grateful for Tony's explanation and decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our Foreman, Sam K., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by drilling small holes into the slab and placing the injection ports. Once those were installed, they injected PolyLevel beneath the slab, lifting it. Once this was lifted, the crew ensured it was leveled before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew seals the cracks and joints using NexusPro. After the crew was done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Mankato, MN, was concerned for her sunken walkway as it was a tripping hazard for her and her family. Instead of continuously putting it off, she decided that it was time to resolve the issue and contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate. We had previously helped the homeowner with foundation repair, and she was confident in our crew's ability to perform the job correctly. 

Our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to assess the walkway. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common reasons for uneven concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, the water moves through the ground and washes the supporting soils away. Over time, this causes holes and gaps beneath the concrete slab. For this reason, Romeo recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints and repair cracks. The homeowner happily agreed to Romeo's recommendation and decided to move forward with the project.

In about a month, our Foreman, Patrick B., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. The crew began lifting the concrete by first drilling small holes into the slab. Injection ports are then installed, and PolyLevel is injected beneath the slab. Once it has been lifted, the crew ensures that it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro, our high-durability silicone-based sealant, on the joints and to repair cracks. After the crew was done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home. 

Now, our customer can have peace of mind that her walkway is no longer a trip hazard. Have you noticed sunken concrete? Schedule your FREE estimate with one of our trained experts today!

Mike C. in North Mankato, MN had a cracked and bowing foundation wall in his basement. He contacted American Waterworks after seeing an advertisement because he was concerned about the pressure it was putting on his foundation. Our Design Specialist, Eric Hazelton, went to his home to provide him with a FREE onsite inspection and design a solution. Eric recommended that we install PowerBraces to stabilize his walls and protect his foundation. Mike liked the proposal that Eric presented to him, so he decided to move forward with repairing his foundation.

Our Foreman, Juan Pena, and his crew installed 7 PowerBraces along the bowing wall. The PowerBraces are designed to stabilize failing basement walls and provide the potential for the wall to straighten over time. The beams are covered with a zinc-coating to protect it from rusting or deteriorating. The process was less invasive than Mike thought it would be. Mike is glad he chose the right solution through American Waterworks to protect his foundation for the long-term.
