Failing Wall Stabilized in Rochester, MN

A homeowner from Rochester, MN gave us a call when they noticed his crawl space wall was showing signs of failure. He was afraid that if the issue went unresolved, he would run the risk of compromising the structural integrity of the home. When he called, we set him up with our FREE estimate. Next, our Design Specialist, Dustin, headed out to the house to complete a thorough inspection of the issue. When he had finished his walkthrough, he recommended the homeowner use our C-Channel anchor system. He explained that this system provides a permanent solution for bowing, buckling, tilting, or inward-moving foundation walls that are demonstrating signs of extreme wall failure. He went on to say that this system works to immediately stabilize walls by pushing in at the bottom, as well as anchoring deep in the soil. Our customer agreed and work began shortly after. 

Our Foreman, Jose C, and his crew ended up installing 10 of our C-Channels throughout the space. Now our customer no longer needs to worry about foundation issues! 

Rochester, MN Before and After Concrete Repair

A homeowner in Rochester, MN was tired of dealing with the sunken concrete apron in his driveway. Over time, it had also separated from the garage floor, resulting in a large gap between the two. The homeowner wanted to look into fixing the space, so he went online to look for a company in his area that specialized in concrete repairs. The American Waterworks website stood out to him because of our FREE no-obligation estimates, so he signed up for his own. One of our expert Design Specialists, Nate Bernard, went to the site to inspect the concrete and prepare his recommendations. Nate informed the homeowner that the driveway apron had likely sunk because of soil settling underneath. To fix this issue, our PolyLevel would work to fill in the empty space and lift the slabs back up to be level again. Nate also explained the large empty joint could be filled in with NexusPro sealant for a smoother look. The homeowner agreed to the installations and the plans were approved and given to Foreman Troy Johnson and his crew. They went to the site to carefully install the products and ensured the homeowner was happy with everything before leaving.

Sinking Walkway Gets a Lift in Rochester, MN

A homeowner in Rochester, MN, noticed that her front walkway was beginning to separate from her front stairs, creating a trip hazard. Not wanting the issue to get worse, she decided to research companies in the area that could restore the concrete. Once she found our website, she decided to take advantage of our FREE estimates, and a few weeks later our Design Specialist, Mitch S, headed out to the home. 

Once Mitch finished his inspection, he informed the homeowner that sinking concrete is all too common but that we could fix the issue with our PolyLevel lifting solution. Our PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when injected below concrete slabs, filling voids left by soil erosion and slowly lifting slabs back to their desired place. He told the homeowner that our process is finished by installing our NexusPro. A silicone-based sealant, NexusPro gets applied to all cracks and joints in the concrete slab to prevent any unwanted elements from getting underneath the soil. The homeowner agreed with Mitch's recommendations, and the work was scheduled to be completed a few weeks later. 

On the day of the project, our Foreman, Patrick, and his team made quick work of the lift. Once the job was completed, our homeowner was thrilled to know he no longer had to worry about trip hazards!

Sump Pump Upgrade Saves Basement in Rochester, MN

A homeowner from Rochester, MN, was facing a unique problem with his sump pump. Each time it rained, the system could cycle, loudly, but still, there was standing water being left on the floor. The homeowner was concerned about what would happen to his basement come spring when the snow melts, so he decided to google 'flooded basement repair near me', and quickly found our website. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan P, was headed out to the home. 

When Ryan arrived, the homeowner directed him down to the basement so he could begin his inspection. When he finished his walkthrough, he met up with the homeowner to go over his findings and to deliver his recommendations. Ryan explained that if you can't count on your sump system to be powerful or reliable enough, then you can't count on a dry basement. For this reason, Ryan recommended our SuperSump plus sump pump system, an effective and economical choice to rid your basement of unwanted water. The homeowner agreed with Ryan's recommendation and scheduled the job for some time later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Edgar M, and his team were able to place the sump pump with no issues. Now, our customer is confident that his basement is properly defended against unwanted moisture!
