Foundation Repair & Concrete Repair Services in New Brighton MN

A homeowner in Arden Hills, MN, noticed that her garage floor had begun settling as well as the steps in front of the home. Knowing her annual maintenance was coming up for her waterproofed basement, she decided to address the issue with the service technician who would arrive. 

In a couple of months, our Service Technician, Darin H., arrived at the home to ensure that the basement was working properly and to talk to the homeowner if they had any issues with their home. The homeowner then informed Darin of her concerns about the garage and front steps, and Darin began his inspection. After looking closely at the garage, he explained to the homeowner that it is common to see sunken concrete due to soil compaction and settling. When a soil's load-bearing capacity exceeds, it causes the soil to sink beneath the slab. Darin then created a solution for the homeowner and recommended our PolyLevel to lift the garage and step back to its original position. After reviewing Darin's proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our crew arrived at the home for the installation. They lifted the concrete by first drilling small holes into the slab and installing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, filling in the voids and gaps in the soil. Once the concrete slabs have been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Once they were done, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

Worried that it was a trip hazard for friends and family, he decided to look into concrete lifting and leveling in the area and found our website.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to inspect both the driveway and garage. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of concrete damage is soil compaction and settling. When the soil's load-bearing capacity is exceeded, it causes the supporting soils beneath the slab to sink. This then causes concrete slabs to dip or cave in. To address this issue and to repair the cracks that had formed, Kyle recommended our PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints and the cracks. Kyle created a proposal and explained to the homeowner that our PolyLevel is a non-invasive way of lifting concrete slabs and our NexusPro sealant can provide a seamless look. After reviewing the proposal, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project. 

In about a month, our crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began lifting the driveway by drilling small holes into the slabs and installing the injection ports.

Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro to repair the cracks in the garage and driveway as well as seal the joints in the driveway.

A homeowner in Arden Hills, MN, was concerned when she noticed that her home had begun sinking on one side and was worried about its stability. She decided to look into foundation repair in the area and found our website. After browsing our website, the homeowner grew confident in our abilities and decided to contact us to schedule her FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialists, Shane N., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and immediately inspected the home. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of foundation damage is improper fill soil. At the time when the home was built, the area around the foundation had been filled with loose dirt. When this soil is not properly compacted, it can compress under the weight of the home, causing settlement. To fix this issue, Shane recommended our Push Piers. He explained that these are tube sections made from steel which are then driven through steel foundation brackets using hydraulic pressure to reach the depths of competent load-bearing soil. The homeowner was grateful for Shane's explanation and decided to move forward with his design. Shane's design was then sent to our Foreman.

In a couple of months, our crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed a total of 7 push piers, ensuring the home is permanently stabilized. Once they were done with the installation, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner in Arden Hills, MN, noticed that his back concrete porch had begun sinking, leaving an uneven platform with large gaps along the joints. Worried it would be a trip hazard for friends and family, he decided to search for "concrete lifting near me" and found our website. After browsing our website, he was impressed with our 5-star reviews and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. 

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Romeo V., arrived at the home to conduct a thorough inspection of the back porch. He explained to the homeowner that one of the common causes of uneven concrete is soil washout. When it rains or floods, water moves beneath the concrete slabs and washes away the supporting soils. Over time, this causes the concrete slab to sink. To fix this issue, Romeo suggested using PolyLevel to lift the concrete and NexusPro to seal the joints and repair the cracks. The homeowner happily agreed and, after looking through Romeo's design, 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 concrete slab and placing the injection ports. PolyLevel is then injected beneath the slab, and once it has been lifted, the crew ensures it is level before sealing the holes with concrete. Lastly, the crew uses NexusPro, our silicone-based sealant to repair the cracks and seal the joints. Once they were done, they made sure everything was properly leveled before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.

A homeowner in New Brighton, MN, was in his basement when he noticed cracks forming along the walls and was worried about his unstable walls. He asked his friends if they knew a good company that could look into it, and they recommended American Waterworks. He looked through our website and was impressed with our "Before and After" stories and immediately contacted us to claim his FREE estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Jesse W., arrived at the home on the scheduled date and began a thorough inspection of the basement. He had informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of foundation damage is soil moisture. Heavy rains cause the soil surrounding your foundation to become wet and hold water.

Jesse recommended our GeoLock wall anchors to fix this issue and explained that these are designed to stabilize your walls permanently and can straighten walls over time. The homeowner was grateful for Jesse's explanation and agreed to his plans. Jesse's design was then sent to our Foreman, Jesus C.

In a couple of months, Jesus and his crew arrived at the home to carry out the installations. The crew installed a total of 12 GeoLock wall anchors. These are installed by digging a hole several feet away from the foundation. Then, the anchor is placed inside and is attached to the interior wall. Both anchors are connected through a small steel pipe that runs through the ground. Once Jesus and his crew were finished with the installations, they cleaned up their equipment and left the home.

A homeowner from Mounds View, MN, was suffering from a sinking concrete apron in front of his driveway. Because the concrete had sunken so much, it was a hard spot to navigate a car over. The homeowner would have to step on the gas to get over the hump and then slam on the brakes to ensure he wouldn't hit the far side of the garage. The homeowner had no recollection of a business in the area dealing with concrete garage floor aprons, so he took to the internet. After scouring the internet, he found our website. Impressed with our concrete before and after pictures, he scheduled his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, Gary S, one of our Design Specialists in the area, headed out to the home.

Gary got right to work inspecting each concrete slab. He noted several cracks running along the driveway, as well as a sunken area of concrete on the homeowner's walkway. When he finished his inspection, he met with the homeowner to let him know he believed we could help the issue with the help of our PolyLevel injection. He explained that PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete slabs. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and in the process, lifts concrete back to it's desired location. Gary went on to say that, to safeguard the newly lifted concrete, he was recommending our NexusPro. This silicone-based sealant gets applied to all cracks and joints in the newly lifted concrete and serves as a barrier against unwanted water intrusion or harsh weather conditions. The homeowner liked the simple fix and safeguard measures, and decided to schedule her project for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, Sam K, our Foreman, led his team through a clean lift, level, and seal. He began the process by verifying the measurements Gary had left behind. Then, he strategically drilled holes into the sunken slab. Then, he injected the PolyLevel into the holes and closely monitored the lifting and leveling process to ensure no over or under-correction was made. Finally, they applied the NexusPro over the joints of the lifted concrete. Now, our customer can effortlessly enter his garage without fear of hitting the back wall!

A New Brighton, MN, homeowner was dealing with several areas of sunken and uneven concrete surrounding his home. The homeowner knew that any resale of the home would be stalled by this uneven concrete and wanted to know what he could do to fix the issue. He began searching concrete repair MN and found several companies, one of which was American Waterworks. He signed up for his FREE estimate, and a few weeks later, Kyle P, one of our Design Specialists, headed out to the home to see what could be done. 

Once Kyle finished his walkthrough, he met with the homeowner to discuss the next steps. Kyle began by informing the homeowners that concrete can sink for various reasons but that American Waterworks could help with using our PolyLevel. PolyLevel is a dense polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath concrete surfaces. It works to fill voids left by soil erosion and, in the process, slowly lifts sunken concrete back to its desired position. Kyle said he was recommending a safeguard for the newly lifted concrete, which was our NexusPro. NexusPro is a silicone-based sealant that gets applied directly to the cracks and joints in the concrete and prevents unwanted water from getting below the concrete to the vulnerable soil below. The homeowner agreed with the proposed work and the job was scheduled for several weeks later. 

On the day of the installation, our Foreman, Sam K, and his team arrived bright and early at the property. They began by verifying the measurement that Kyle had left for them and then got to work drilling holes into the sunken concrete slabs. Next, they injected the PolyLevel into the holes they had drilled and injected the PolyLevel into the holes, being sure to closely monitor the lifting and leveling process to ensure no over or under-corrections were made. When the lift had been completed, they got to work sealing all of the cracks and joints with our NexusPro. When the job had been completed, our customer was thrilled to know that the value of his concrete had been restored!
