Foundation Repair & Concrete Leveling Services in North Oaks MN

A homeowner in Vadnais Heights, MN, recently read a blog discussing the danger radon poses in homes. She learned that radon is a by-product of uranium, which can be found in soil. As the soil decays, it releases radon gas, which creates a high toxicity level in the air. We cannot smell, taste, hear, touch, or see radon, which makes it extremely difficult to detect. After learning this information, the homeowner decided to purchase a radon testing kit, and after several days, the test results were above 4pCi/L. The homeowner then searched for radon mitigation, found our website, and contacted us to schedule her FREE estimate.

In a couple of weeks, our Design Specialist, Kyle P., arrived at the home to answer any questions the homeowner had and to create a design where the radon mitigation system would be installed. After the homeowner reviewed Kyle's proposal, she decided to move forward with the project and Kyle's design was then sent to our Foreman.

In about two weeks, our Foreman and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They installed a PVC pipe beneath the footing of the home, which would then connect to the radon mitigation system installed outside of the home. This is done this way so that our system can suction out the radon gas and spew it outdoors. Once the crew was done, they made sure the system was working properly before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.

A homeowner in North Oaks, MN noticed that her damp walls were causing mold to grow in her basement. She decided to look into basement waterproofing in the area and noticed one of our yard signs in the neighborhood. The homeowner then decided to contact us to schedule her FREE no-obligation estimate. 

Our Design Specialist, Darin S., arrived at the home on the scheduled date to assess the basement. He informed the homeowner that one of the common causes of a damp basement is a failed footing drain. When this fails, water saturates the soil surrounding the foundation. Water then enters through cracks in the walls, between the footing and the wall, and under the footing. To address this issue, Darin recommended our WaterGuard, our below-the-floor perimeter drain system that is designed not to clog, unlike traditional drain systems, our CleanSpace wall barrier, which would stop water vapor from permeating the walls and move the water from any leaks to the WaterGuard, our Shipshape monitoring system that can monitor sump pumps to ensure it is working properly, and our Zoeller M98 pump which is capable to removing 3,900 gallons of water per hour. After reviewing the proposal and design, the homeowner decided to move forward with the project.

In about two months, our Foreman, Kiko P., and his crew arrived at the home for the installation. They began by installing 45ft of CleanSpace on the walls. Then, they installed 155ft of our WaterGuard around the perimeter of the home and connected it to the sump pump system. The crew also replaced the sump pump with our Zoeller M98. Lastly, they installed our ShipShape before cleaning up their equipment and leaving the home.

A homeowner in Vadnais Heights, MN, noticed their garage floors were beginning to sink. Unsure of the cause, the homeowner knew they needed to find a permanent solution before it worsened. The homeowner knew they couldn't repair the issue themselves, so they looked into "sinking garage floor repair near me". The first company to catch their attention was us, American Waterworks. After seeing our five-star reviews, the homeowner knew their project would be in the right hands. The homeowner went to our website and signed up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate details were finalized, we sent one of our Design Specialists, Ryan, to the home to take a closer look. Ryan promptly arrived at the home and began the thorough inspection of the garage floors. During his inspection, Ryan discovered the basement was sinking into the ground. To stop the sinking from continuing, Ryan recommended inserting PolyLevel underneath the struggling concrete. Knowing this was the best option, the homeowner decided to go ahead with the recommendations. Next, Ryan sent the proposal to our Logistics team to build and schedule the project. The project was scheduled for the following weeks, then it was assigned to our Foreman, Sam, and his crew. Sam and his crew traveled to the home to begin the lift. First, Sam and his crew made sure the garage floor was ready for the installation. Then, the crew went ahead and inserted the PolyLevel underneath the garage floor. The PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of the concrete. The crew started by strategically drilling small holes throughout the slab. Then, the crew inserts ports into those small holes. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill voids and raise the slabs. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. Once the PolyLevel injection was finished, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was given peace of mind knowing their garage floor was properly lifted.

A homeowner from Vadnais Heights, MN, had been dealing with a garage floor that was slowly sinking over the years, creating a gap between the garage floor and the driveway. The homeowner knew that uneven concrete can drag down the resale value of a home, and decided the issue was worth looking into. He saw our ad online and decided to schedule his FREE estimate. Several weeks later, our Design Specialist, Ryan K, was headed out to the home. 

After Ryan conducted his inspection, he met with the homeowner to go over his findings. First, Ryan began by saying that the garage could be sinking for a variety of reasons, including: poor soil compaction during construction, extreme heat, or extreme rains. Nonetheless, Ryan went on to say that we could address the issue using our PolyLevel solution. He went on to say that PolyLevel is a polyurethane foam that expands when it's injected beneath sinking concrete. As the foam expands, the concrete is slowly pushed upwards, returning the slab to its original state. Ryan finished by saying that lifting and leveling is much cheaper far less invasive than other forms of repair, concrete. The homeowner liked the solution that Ryan presented, and decided to sign for the project on the spot. 

About a month later, one of our concrete crews, led by our Foreman, Pat B, was heading out to the home. They began the process by verifying the areas that Ryan had left for them. Next, they strategically drilled holes into the concrete. Then, they inserted the foam through the hole, closely monitoring the lifting process. When the job was complete, the customer was thrilled to know that his garage had been restored to it's original state. 

If you have sunken or uneven concrete, consider lifting and leveling it rather than wasting time and money on full replacement.
