Front Stair Gets a Lift in Hamel, MN

Wajih from Hamel, MN, got in contact with us when they began to notice that a gap forming between their front stair and the concrete walkway leading up to it. They were afraid that if they didn't correct the issue, it would begin to worsen and the tripping hazard would get worse. When they called us, we set them up with our FREE inspection. After our inspection visit was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Jarrett, headed out to the property for a standard 3-hour inspection into the issue and what we could do to help. Once he completed his walkthrough, he made some recommendations as to how we could best help Wajih. First, Jarrett wanted to lift and level the concrete slabs using our PolyLevel injection. Then he wanted to follow up and seal the project with NexusPro to seal off any remaining cracks. The homeowner agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our team, led by our Foreman, Dylon, began the process by strategically drilling holes into the problem slabs. Next, they injected the PolyLevel into the holes and monitored the raising process. Our PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that, when injected below concrete, fills the voids below the slab caused by soil erosion. Next, they followed the PolyLevel with our NexusPro, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks that is specially formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up against harsh weather conditions. 

When the job was complete, Wajih was content knowing that their concrete slabs wouldn't be sinking anymore anytime soon!

Separated Concrete Apron Repaired in Hamel, MN

A homeowner in Hamel, MN was frustrated with the concrete apron at the top of his driveway because it had sunk and pulled away from the garage floor and a large bump had formed as a result. The homeowner was tired of driving his car over it every day and knew it was time to find a solution and eliminate the problem. The homeowner knew his neighbor had recently had driveway repairs done by American Waterworks, so he got the information of the company to see if we would also be a good fit for this project. He signed up for a FREE no-obligation estimate appointment and we sent over one of our Design Specialists to carry out the estimate. The Design Specialist recommended our PolyLevel and NexusPro products be installed to both lift the concrete up and smooth it out for a finished look. The homeowner was relieved to hear that something could be done so he agreed to the installations. Our Foreman, Troy Johnson later went to the site with his crew to carry out the installations. The homeowner was impressed with the work done and happy with results of the repairs.

Tilting Foundation Stabilized in Lake Crystal, MN

Sander L. in Lake Crystal, MN had a tilting foundation wall that he was concerned about. He wanted to have a professional look at it before the wall failed altogether. He contacted American Waterworks and we sent one of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, to his home to provide Sander with a solution. He was pleased to learn that we could permanently restore his wall by installing 3 wall anchors.

Our production crew drilled 3 small holes through the foundation wall and into the dirt behind it. Next, they placed anchors on each end of the metal rods and tightened them as far as they could go. Sander was happy that he could see immediate improvement in the stability of the wall. He is glad he chose to invest in the protection of his home.

Bowing Foundation Walls in Ramsey, MN

Jen S. in Ramsey, MN had a bowing foundation wall in her home and a sinking garage. She visited the American Waterworks booth at a local home show and learned about our foundation repair solutions.

One of our Design Specialists, Shane Nephew, explained our wall anchors and push piers, and how they can permanently stabilize her foundation. She was interested to see if we could solve her foundation problem, so she set an appointment with Shane for a FREE onsite estimate. After Shane inspected her foundation wall and garage, he determined that installing 11 wall anchors on one side of the home and installing 8 piers underneath the garage, would permanently repair and stabilize her foundation. 

She agreed with the plan that Shane developed, so we set an installation date. Once our crew had installed and tightened the wall anchors, Jen was able to see the drastic improvement with the stability of the wall.

The push piers installed under the garage raised the garage and secured the foundation, so Jen will never again have to worry about her foundation settling and the damage that can cause to a home. Jen now has peace of mind because she chose to invest in protecting her most valuable asset.
