Austin, MN Authorized Basement & Foundation Repair

A homeowner in Austin, MN, knew it was time to have their driveway repaired.  Instead of holding off, the homeowner decided they needed to look for a professional solution. After some research, the homeowner found our company and was impressed by our award-winning products. The homeowner decided to call our Appointment Center and sign up for their FREE estimate. After the estimate was finalized, the homeowner waited for Mitch, one of our Design Specialists, to arrive. Mitch arrived at the home and began his in-depth analysis of the driveway. Once he wrapped up the inspection, Mitch determined that the driveway required lifting and leveling. Additionally, Mitch discovered some of the joints needed to be replaced. Mitch proposed a solution to the homeowners, and they agreed. Once the plans were approved by the office, they were sent to our Foreman, Troy, and his crew. After they arrived, Troy and his crew started by lifting the driveway using PolyLevel. 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 shifted their focus to filling the cracks and replacing the joints. The crew utilized NexusPro Sealant, a silicone-based sealant for joints and cracks formulated to provide long-lasting flexibility and withstand harsh weather conditions. The crew begins by drilling, smoothing, and preparing the non-absorbent backer rod filler. Then, the NexusPro sealant is inserted in the prepared crack or control joint. Finally, the cracks are detailed with a thin layer of native sand, giving the concrete a uniform, finished appearance. After the project was complete, the crew cleaned up their items and left the home. The homeowner was glad to know their driveway was properly lifted and leveled. If you are suffering from a similar issue, sign up for your FREE estimate today!  

A homeowner in Austin, MN was excited to enjoy the last few weeks of summer and warm weather on his backyard patio space but wanted to make some changes to it first. He had noticed over time that some cracks had formed in the surface and that the slabs closest to the home had tilted inward. The homeowner knew these problems would only lead to more issues later down the road if left alone, so he decided to take action and find a service for repairs. Online he looked for companies in Southern Minnesota and became interested in the American Waterworks name. He signed up for a FREE estimate with us to learn more and later met with one of our expert Design Specialists. The Design Specialist inspected the concrete patio and developed a plan for the repairs. On the project day, our Foreman, Patrick Burnes, and his crew went to the site and began by prepping the area. They started the installations by drilling small holes throughout the patio area and inserting ports through them to reach the empty space under the concrete surface. Next, they filled the space with the PolyLevel which immediately raised the sinking slabs back up. Then the crew used the NexusPro sealant to the joints and cracked areas. This specific sealant provides flexibility and long-lasting durability to the areas that it is applied. Finally, they sprinkled a thin layer of native sand on top of the sealant for a smooth and appealing look to the back patio. The crew cleaned the space, packed up their materials, and left the site, leaving a leveled and crack-free patio and a happy homeowner.

An office manager at a local Dentist's office in Austin, MN became concerned after hearing about a customer tripping on the uneven sidewalk on their way to an appointment. Knowing that this problem could lead to a similar situation for future customers, she brought it up to the owner's attention and insisted on finding a solution right away. They got to work finding a service in the surrounding area and came across American Waterworks. Our FREE estimate service drew them into our business, and they scheduled an inspection right away. Once they met with Design Specialist, Kevin Beseman, it was clear to them that our products and services would take care of their needs. He explained that installing two of our products, PolyLevel and NexusPro would be the best solution to taking care of this problem. He explained that the PolyLevel works to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. In addition to this, using NexusPro would help prevent moisture from seeping into the soil beneath and smooth out the cracks in the concrete. After agreeing to the plan, one of our Foreman, Jordan Simonson, and his crew visited the site to begin work. They started by prepping the area and strategically drilling holes throughout the damaged area. Next, they inserted the PolyLevel, and closely monitored the lifting and leveling process to ensure that no over or under corrections were made. Finally, they sealed the holes and cracks along the joint concrete with our NexusPro sealant. Jordan and his team ended up lifting 4 separate areas of the business's concrete as well as installed 84 ft. of our NexusPro sealant to the sidewalk. Now this office can ensure their workers and customers make their way safely inside on their newly repaired sidewalk.

A homeowner in Austin, MN, knew their foundation needed to be inspected by a professional. Instead of pushing off the project, the homeowner wanted to get ahead of the problem. Knowing American Waterworks has done projects in the past in their area, the homeowner did some investigating into the services we provide. After seeing the wonderful services we provide, the homeowner was convinced that we should do their project. The homeowner signed up for their FREE estimate and prepared for the arrival of Darin, one of our Design Specialists. Darin arrived at the home to begin the estimate appointment. Following his estimate, Darin found that the foundation was settling and needed to be stabilized. Darin suggested that the entire perimeter of the foundation be stabilized using GeoLocks. The homeowners agreed and the production commenced. Our Foreman, Crescencio, and his crew arrived at the home to begin production. The crew began by making sure the basement was cleared for production. Then, the crew began the GeoLock installation. GeoLocks is our innovative wall system that anchors your foundation wall to untouched soil beyond your foundation. To start, the crew excavates a small amount of soil out of the ground to place the first GeoLock anchor. Then, the crew attached the interior GeoLock anchor to the foundation wall. To connect the two anchors, the crew runs a small, steel pole through the soil. Additionally, the crew included the tightening kit, so the wall can be straightened over time. Once the crew completed the installation, they cleaned up their materials and left the home. The homeowners were grateful for the excellent work completed by the crew.
