Basement Windows Replaced in Belle Plaine, MN

Jes K. of Belle Plaine, MN had water leaking from her basement window, making her consider getting a new window replacement. One of her local contractors recommended American Waterworks for the repairs. She called our office staff and scheduled a FREE Estimate with our Design Specialist, Chad Johnson. Chad went to her home, inspected the window, and came up with a solution. Jes approved of the proposal and went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman, Jesus Covarrubias, and his crew cut out the window and replaced it with our EverLast Basement Window, which is designed to replace any rotting, wood-framed windows. It also gives the room a very neat appearance. Jes was happy with the replacement and loved the transformation! 

Concrete Walkway Lifted and Leveled in Belle Plaine, MN

A customer from Belle Plaine, MN got in contact with us when he began to notice his walkway leading up to his house was sinking, creating a sizable gap between the stair and the walkway. When he called in, we set him up with our FREE estimate, entitling him to a thorough inspection of the issue by one of our Design Specialists. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, headed out to the property to assess the issue. When completed, he let our customer know that the reason the concrete was sinking was due to faulty soil underneath. He informed him that this could be due to excessive heat, water intrusion, or poorly compacted soil from when the home was built. He recommended the use of our PolyLevel injection to correct the problem. Our Design Specialist explained that this modern approach utilized an expanding polyurethane foam to raise the slab back to its original state. He went on to say that this method is far less invasive than alternative remedies. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Dylon, began the process by drilling strategic holes into the concrete walkway. Next, he injected the foam into the hole and closely monitored the lifting process, making sure the slab returned to where it should be. 

Once completed, our customer was happy to know he had eliminated the gap and could go back to safely using his concrete slab! 

Foundation Repairs in Bell Plaine, MN

A homeowner in Belle Plaine, MN became worried about his home's structural integrity when he noticed two things in the front bedroom of his home.

He came across the American Waterworks website after searching "cracked foundation repair near me" and was eager to learn more about our work during a FREE no-obligation estimate appointment.

Sunken Driveway Restored in Wayzata, MN

Wyllie R. in Wayzata, MN had a concrete driveway that was sinking. It had already sunk about two inches below the garage concrete slabs and it was getting worse over time. A friend of his mentioned what a good experience they had working with American Waterworks, so he decided to give us a call for a free estimate. We sent one of our Design Specialists, Chad Johnson, to his home to assess his sinking concrete and design a solution. Chad assured him that we could raise and level his concrete within a matter of hours using our PolyLevel foam injection. Wyllie was pleased to hear this, so he scheduled a date for the injection.

One of our PolyLevel experts, Brandon Wiskow, drilled small holes into his concrete driveway to inject the foam. Next, he injected the foam until the driveway was once again level with the garage floor. Lastly, he filled the cracks in the concrete with our Nexus Pro sealant. PolyLevel is a durable, faster and more affordable alternative to traditional concrete repair. Wyllie was pleased with the result and how quick the process was. He can now enjoy level concrete for years to come!

Failing Wall Straightened in Wayzata, MN

A customer from Wayzata, MN got in contact with us when she began to notice the retaining wall in front of her garage was beginning to tilt inwards. Our customer feared that if she left the problem unresolved she risked the possibility of the wall failing completely and costing more to fix. When she contacted us we set her up with our FREE estimate, entitling her to a thorough inspection by a member of our Design Specialists team. Once the appointment was set, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to her home to inspect the issue. Once he completed his walkthrough, he was ready to make his professional opinion about correcting the issue. He told our customer that her best bet to battle the failing wall would be allowing us to install our GeoLock anchors. He explained to her that our GeoLock anchors are the ideal solution for stabilizing and straightening as it anchors the problem wall to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. He went on to explain that, after the installation, the anchors can often be tightened over time to further address the failing foundation walls and pull them back into place. Our customer gave the green light and work began shortly after. Our Production crew, led by our Foreman, Hugo, installed three of our GeoLock anchors throughout the problem wall. Once the job was complete, our customer was happy to know that her failing wall issues were a thing of the past!
