Alma's Devoted Contractor for Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair

A homeowner in Alma, WI, began looking for concrete repair companies to fix their uneven, cracked sidewalk. Unsure of where to start, the homeowner looked for the closest concrete repair companies. During their search, the homeowner came across one of our PolyLevel installations. The PolyLevel is a high-density polyurethane formula that stabilizes and lifts sinking concrete slabs. The homeowner visited our homepage and saw that we offer FREE estimates, so they signed up for theirs. Once the estimate details were set, the homeowner prepared for the arrival of Chuck, one of our Design Specialists. Chuck arrived at the home and began his analysis of the concrete. Once the analysis was complete, Chuck determined the sidewalk was sinking due to soil settlement. To stop the soil from sinking further, Chuck recommended that the concrete be lifted and leveled using the PolyLevel. After deliberating all their options, the homeowner agreed with Chuck's suggestion. Then, the plans were directed to our Foreman, Dylon, and his crew. Dylon and his crew arrived at the home and started with the PolyLevel installation. The crew begins by strategically drilling small 5/8" holes into the slab. Next, the crew installs injection ports in the small holes. Then, the polyurethane foam is injected beneath the concrete to fill the voids and raise the slab. Finally, the crew seals the holes and control joints. After the PolyLevel installation, the crew fills all the cracks using the NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant. The crew installs the NexusPro by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the cracks. Then, the NexusPro Sealant is inserted into the prepared crack. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. Once the sidewalk repair was complete, the crew cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowner was in awe of the wonderful work completed by the crew.

A homeowner in Alma, WI, was doing yard work when they discovered the foundation near the garage was separating. Concerned by this discovery, the homeowner searched for a solution. Knowing that reaching out to a professional company would be best, the homeowner decided to work with American Waterworks. The homeowner called our Appointment Center and signed up for their FREE estimate. We sent our Design Specialist, Brian, to investigate the issue. Following his investigation, Brian determined that the wall needed to be stabilized and garage floor leveled. Wanting to solve the issue, the homeowner agreed with Brian's suggestions. Once the plans were set, they were sent to the assigned crew. 

Our Foreman, Oscar, and his crew arrived a the home and began by leveling the garage floor. To level the garage floor, the crew used PolyLevel, a polyurethane foam injection solution that restores the appearance and safety of concrete. To install the PolyLevel, the crew strategically drills small 5/8" holes into the slab. Then, the injection ports are installed into the foundation. Next, the polyurethane foam is injected underneath the concrete to fill gaps and raise the slab. Finally, the holes and control joints are sealed. After completing the concrete leveling, the crew moved on to stabilizing the struggling foundation wall. To stabilize the foundation wall, the crew utilized Geo-Lock wall anchors, an innovative wall anchor system that stabilizes the foundation wall by anchoring the wall to untouched soil. First, the crew excavated a small section of the lawn to insert the first Geo-Lock anchor. Then, a small steel pole is pushed through the soil to connect to the interior Geo-Lock anchor. Once the Geo-Lock anchors are connected and secured, the crew covers the hole in the lawn. The homeowner was delighted by the job well done by the crew.

Mac C. had a dirt crawl space that was causing a musty smell through his home because of the moisture in that space. He also noticed that his energy bill was high, and he felt that he was losing energy from that space. He contacted American Waterworks to learn more about our crawl space encapsulation services. We sent a Design Specialist to inspect the crawl space and design the best solution. Mac appreciated how thorough our Design Specialist was and that he took the time to address his questions and concerns. Mac was impressed with our solution, so he decided to move forward with the installation.

Our production team installed drainage matting, TerraBlock and SilverGlo along the dirt floor and the walls. Then, they covered the crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, which keeps moisture out and prevents mold from growing. Our vapor barrier also comes with a 25-year warranty that protects against rips and tears. After the installation, Mac noticed a reduction in his energy bills and was pleased that there was no longer a musty smell in his home. Mac is glad he chose American Waterworks to encapsulate his crawl space!
